CIH Equipment Technical consignment A2LA ISO17025 Calibration Services Accreditation Questionable Partner Technical Consignment Business Practices Shady Clearwater Florida
The Doctor is in the house - "Dr." Silver that is. Please do your due diligence before engaging in any kind of interaction with this company, or partner company owned by the "Doctor", Technical Consignment. Whether it is calibration services, used equipment, vendors or employment. Proceed with caution.
I have witnessed questionable methods at best as well as bizarre, borderline mentally unstable behavior by the owner, Dr. David Silver. This man insists on being addressed only as Doctor, take heed.
In a fit of rage, emerging from something as simple as a slow internet connection or forgetting a password, I have seen him intentionally throw perfectly good equipment to the floor busting it to smithereens to a repetitive lecture on the same subject every single day, repeating, repeating, repeating how brilliant he is and how much he knows.
This is what I know. he is a time bomb, a loose cannon, dangerous. It is my understanding that methods used are not necessarily A2LA, ISO17025 compliant. 99% of the refurbished antique test equipment that is now for sale through his new business Technical Consignment cannot be calibrated.
For the sake and safety for all, do not support this company. There are options, literally hundreds, that do not risk the safetey and health of their clients, employees and peers in the marketplace.

Actually, I am a current, concerned and ethical employee of "Dr. Silver" - The equipment sold through doc's new company Technical Consignment is utilized for highly sensitized quality performance of air, water and sound.
Look for yourself at the website and you shall see the how compliance figures into the doc's view of making a million off of recycled, non-usable antique equipment:
"Product Warranty:
Technical consignment products unless other wise specified carry a DOA (Dean on Arrival) warranty. We will repair or replace defective products at our discretion or refund the purchase price, f the request is made within 30 days of delivery.Warranties do not cover damages caused by the misuse or mishandling of equipment or for parts installed after the fact. Warranties are void if the product has been dismantled or altered. The photos show what is being offered (What you see is what you get)."
In other words - Good Luck!
Only in Florida!

Outrageous false claims from a disgruntled contract employee who was let go for non-performance and misconduct. Technical Consignment sells and consigns industrial hygiene test equipment and is a separate company from CIH Equipment Company, an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. CIH Equipment provides a calibration service for some of the items sold by Technical Consignment. In order to be accredited, CIH Equipment follows a strict quality control program, has biannual audits, and maintains control checks and charts for each laboratory.
Please note that only some items from Technical Consignment are calibrated, not all. CIH does not calibrate radiation equipment or provide calibration to items that are not fully functional. Also, it is provided mostly as a service to Technical Consignment customers wishing for and having paid for, a particular calibration service.
Should anyone have any questions about this report or the products and services that CIH Equipment and/or Technical Consignment have to offer, please feel free to contact our offices at 888-873-2443 (CIH) or 727-581-5924 (TC)
