Calibration of Measuring Instruments

A correctly calibrated measuring instrument plays a key role in maintaining efficiency, quality, and safety in any operation. We offer professional calibration of measuring instruments, both on-site at the customer’s location and at our own facilities. Our service ensures that instruments meet current requirements and standards – for a safer everyday life.

What is calibration and why is it important?

In practice, calibration means comparing a measuring instrument with a traceable reference standard to ensure that the instrument’s readings are accurate. It is a fundamental process for detecting and reducing measurement uncertainty – something that helps you avoid incorrect measurement values, which could lead to costly mistakes or safety risks.
How often a measuring instrument should be calibrated depends on several factors, including how often it is used, the environment in which it operates, and the requirements set by manufacturers, authorities, or internal quality procedures. For instruments such as pressure gauges, voltage testers, and multimeters, checks are recommended at least once a year. In more demanding environments, shorter intervals may be necessary.
DEKRA is accredited by SWEDAC in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, which means that parts of our methods meet international requirements. After calibration, you will receive a calibration certificate that documents measurement uncertainty and traceability – an important element for audits and quality controls. For non-accredited methods, a certificate of traceability is provided.

Below is a list of accredited objects:

  • AC scales
  • Exhaust gas analyzers
  • Diesel test opacity meters
  • Headlight alignment equipment

How does our service work?

On-site calibration

For instruments that are bulky, permanently installed, or where downtime must be minimized, we send our experts to your site. The process is carried out quickly, efficiently, and safely – without unnecessary disruption to your production.

Calibration in our workshop

For instruments that can easily be shipped, we offer calibration at our workshop in Hedemora. We handle the entire process – from reception to issuing the calibration certificate – and return your instruments together with documentation.

FAQ

Calibration means comparing a measuring instrument with a traceable reference to check and adjust its accuracy.
Correctly adjusted instruments reduce the risk of incorrect measurements that can cause quality issues, safety problems, and unnecessary costs.
Measurement uncertainty describes the range around a measured value where the actual, true value is likely to be found. Measurement results can be affected by various factors, such as temperature, humidity, the type of object being measured, the measuring instrument used, and even human factors.
It depends on the type of instrument, how often it’s used, and industry requirements. Annual calibration is often recommended, but some applications require shorter intervals. We are happy to help you determine the right schedule.
Yes, we offer both mobile calibration at the customer’s site and in our own workshop in Hedemora.
We calibrate a wide range – from multimeters and voltage testers to pressure gauges, brake testers, exhaust analyzers, micrometers, and much more.

Calibrating Torque Wrenches
Do you require professional assistance with the calibration of your torque wrenches? Whether they are digital or analog, regular calibration of torque wrenches is of utmost importance. Proper calibration should be carried out at intervals of at least 12 months or after 5000 cycles/clicks, depending on which occurs first. Furthermore, ISO 6789 mandates that calibration adheres to a tolerance range of ±4% to ±6%.
