What you need is a cal lab that is accredited under the NIST NVLAP 
program (or possibly by A2LA) and that has a DC source calibration 
uncertainty certified to be 0.02 ppm or less, at least at 10v.  The 
Fluke cal lab meets this criterion, as do the Los Alamos and Sandia 
standards labs (and, of course, NIST itself).  Precious few others do.

A list of NVLAP-accredited labs can be found here:

<http://ts.nist.gov/standards/scopes/dclow.htm>

Certified uncertainties are found in each lab's current "Scope of 
Accreditation" document.

Best regards,
