Which type of calibration
results to use, and why calibrate anyway! |
 |
| Class 1 (in-house) or
some refer to it as traceacle to UKAS standards |
| Class 1 (our most popular calibration
type.) Its content is controlled by our ISO approval and by HITEK adhering to
the current standards BS EN 30012-1:1994) and where applicable ISO/IEC
17025. |
|
UKAS certificate |
| In-house certificates do not always have as
short a traceability chain as UKAS certificates. UKAS calibration is where the
traceability, and the way in which the results are produced, are audited by
UKAS. This type of calibration usually costs approximately double class one and
takes 4-5 days longer, (formerly NAMAS). |
|
Why Calibrate |
| We need calibration to provide
us with the confidence that equipment that you are testing, manufacturing or
servicing will meets its original specification or can meet it stated
performance. It gives your clients the reassurance that you as a company take
the quality of its final product seriously and that you strive to provide a
product to the highest standard, no matter if new or a repaired unit.
It gives your company creditability
It gives your company image
It gives your company the edge over its competitor
It can reduce your costs.
In some instances it could give your company a legal edge
especially with a UKAS issued certificate.

Can I add Customer reference numbers? Equipment owner's
name? |
1) Customer Reference Numbers. We can add
your unique company identifier i.e. plant/asset number in a designated space on
the certificate. Please ensure that it does not exceed 10 characters. 2) We
can now also add an owner of the instrument, but this record will only stay
updated whilst the information is correctly supplied. |
