Calibration

What calibration services do

• Inspect and test: They first inspect the instrument and then perform tests by comparing its readings to a known, higher-level standard.

• Adjust and correct: If the instrument shows inaccuracies, the service makes adjustments to bring its measurements back within the required specifications.

• Provide documentation: After a successful calibration, a detailed certificate is provided, which documents the test results and confirms the instrument's accuracy.

Why calibration services are important

• Ensures accuracy: Calibration ensures that measurements are accurate and reliable, which is vital for quality control and consistent results.

• Maintains standards: It helps maintain traceability to national or international standards, which is often a regulatory requirement.

• Prevents failures: By identifying and correcting issues early, calibration can prevent equipment failure, reduce downtime, and lower repair costs.

• Increases safety: Inaccurate equipment can lead to dangerous situations or the production of defective and unsafe products, which proper calibration helps to avoid.

When to use calibration services

• You can use calibration services to prepare for an audit or to meet a specific industry standard.

• They are important for any industry that relies on precise measurements, including manufacturing, healthcare, aerospace, and research.

• It is also a good idea to have equipment calibrated regularly to ensure its ongoing accuracy.
