Which standard

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.
