Accredited calibration of measuring equipment in laboratories and on-site with documented traceability to recognised standards

Accredited calibration in laboratories and on site  

Calibration documents the performance of measuring instruments and establishes traceability to recognised standards. Accredited calibration is available in both dedicated laboratories and on-site and to avoid downtime. Services cover force, pressure, temperature, vacuum, density, viscosity, flow, humidity and volume. DANAK accreditation across multiple fields ensures traceability to SI units and alignment with international standards.  

For industries where precision and compliance are essential  

Calibration supports organisations that rely on precise measurements in production, testing and trade. Inaccurate instruments lead to costly deviations and potential nonconformities. Regular calibration detects drift early, maintains product quality , and helps organisations demonstrate that their measuring equipment is calibrated in accordance with recognised requirements. Accredited calibration under DANAK provides documented traceability to recognised standards and reference units. The service is part of our expertise area Calibration and verification and we also offer verification of measuring instruments.

Challenges

Measurement reliability challenges in laboratories, production and inspection activities

Measurement drift leads to audit non-conformities 

Without regular accredited calibration, instruments may drift outside acceptable tolerances. This creates undocumented deviations, failed audits and potential suspension of testing, production or trade activities. 

 

Unreliable data affects product quality 

Inaccurate measurements in force, pressure, temperature or flow directly influence product specifications. Undetected deviations can result in rejected batches, rework, customer complaints or contractual disputes. 

 

Lack of traceability undermines compliance 

If calibration is not traceable to recognised standards, measurement results cannot be documented with confidence. This creates risk during certification audits and reduces credibility with customers and authorities. 

 

Unplanned downtime disrupts operations 

Reactive calibration or failed instruments cause unexpected interruptions. Production schedules, laboratory throughput and delivery timelines are affected when instruments must be removed from service urgently.
