Nemko calibrations can be classified to standard calibration, accredited calibration, other quality calibration and smart calibration. In all calibrations the measuring points are selected in accordance with the manufacturer’s performance test or equivalent.

Before calibration the measuring instrument is cleaned and checked for the need to change batteries, tighten connectors and so on.

  • Standard calibration covers the complete specified range.
  • Smart calibration is customized including only selected measuring points.
  • Accredited calibration fulfills the requirements for calibration according EN ISO/IEC 17025. Accredited calibration can be customized as well.
