Calibrate and validate both gas and particle sensors using controlled concentrations and reference measurement techniques.

The sensor laboratory is used for calibration and validation of gas and particle sensors, as well as instruments for measuring airborne particles. The need arises when organisations must check sensors against known gas concentrations or compare instrument measurements with reference measurements. Without documented calibration and validation, measurement results may not correspond to the actual gas concentration or particle properties in the air. 

 

Documented basis for evaluation

The laboratory supports organisations that require a documented basis for assessing sensor response and measurement performance under defined laboratory conditions. This is relevant during development, testing and operation of sensor equipment, where uncertain measurements can create doubt about whether results reflect actual conditions.

Target group and benefits

Support organisations working with gas and particle sensors that require calibration or reference validation.

AirLab sensor laboratory supports organisations that develop, test or operate gas and particle sensors and instruments for measuring airborne particles. The facility is relevant when sensor performance must be documented, when measurement results must be checked against reference measurements, or when organisations need a clearer basis for evaluating whether an instrument responds correctly under defined conditions. 

 

Documentation for decisions and follow-up 

Calibration and validation results provide a documented basis for technical assessment, comparison of sensor response and follow-up on measurement uncertainty. For calibrated instruments, repeated measurements at dosed, traceable concentrations can be described in a calibration certificate for the tested instrument. For smaller sensors, the multi-calibration setup can calibrate multiple sensors in a single process when individual calibration would otherwise be impractical. The service is part of our catalogue within air, odour and emissions.
