Calibration

Services

We can calibrate both our own standards and those produced in other materials. A certificate is provided for each sample, giving all relevant information in easy-to-use tables, along with details of the measurement procedure and accuracy. These certificates are suitable for use in the ISO9000 series of Quality Control Procedures.

For our standards, we recommend recalibration once every 5 years. Despatch is usually within 10 working days of receipt of order and samples. Confidentiality of information is strictly observed for all our clients

We also offer routine testing of colour, under UKAS Testing Accreditation (0013), on a wide variety of materials in order to provide our clients with a quick, reliable service.
