CALIBRATION: TESTING TIMES FOR
INSTRUMENT ACCURACY
Andrew Simpson, business development manager for Calibrationhouse, explains the importance of maintaining the measurement accuracy of test instruments.
valid and accurate data measurement. In the interests of meeting the needs of all customers and instrumentation types, accredited laboratories can offer both levels of service to meet specific requirements. Nevertheless, the requirement for calibration certification from an accredited or non- accredited source will largely be determined by individual requirements, depending on the level of assurance the equipment’s output reflects on the processes and products of the user/company.
CHOOSING A SERVICE
Those companies that provide an accredited service themselves such as product testing and standards compliance, or are involved in an application that requires greater confidence in the reliability of instrumentation such as electromedical equipment, are more likely to require calibration in ISO17025 accredited laboratories.
Quality assessors may consider that a non-accredited calibration is inadequate, but the broader decision is essentially one of risk management; how important is it that your goods and services are based on measurements taken with fully assessed and correctly calibrated equipment? Can

you afford the risk to your market reputation caused by unreliable results?
Careful consideration is essential in choosing the right calibration service for your equipment needs. Not only to ensure value for money but, more importantly, to ensure the technical integrity and continued fitness for purpose of your instrumentation. Calibrationhouse, which is accredited to both ISO9001 and ISO17025‚ has a track record of working with leading test instrumentation brands Fluke, Seaward, Megger, Keysight, Agilent, and specialist electromedical equipment suppliers such as Rigel, Fluke Biomedical, B.C Group, Pronk Technologies and others.
The importance of accurate calibration of all instruments cannot be underestimated in ensuring that equipment continues to provide an acceptably reassuring service. Any lack of control or knowledge within the calibration arena not only has a consequent adverse effect on the quality of service provided, but could ultimately lead to a failure to meet regulatory requirements including health and safety regulations. Ultimately, planned and effective calibration ensures long term accuracy, standardisation and repeatability in measurements, providing reliable benchmarks and results, and delivering successful test
programmes today and long into the future. Calibrationhouse has invested in a wide range of calibration equipment, facilities and an on-site calibration team to offer a broad range of services. Customers already recognise the quality and expertise provided, adding even more value to current operations through authoritative, trustworthy and rapid services that ensure their own compliance programmes are not compromised.
