Our Steps
01
Step

Arrival and Reception

Upon receipt, the artifact is logged and inspected. Details such as identification, condition, and any accompanying documentation are recorded. This ensures traceability and verifies that the item is suitable for calibration.
02
Step

Assessment

The artifact is assessed to determine the required calibration procedures, standards, and resources. Any potential issues, deviations, or special requirements are identified at this stage to ensure an accurate and safe calibration process.
03
Step

Planning

A calibration plan is developed, specifying the methods, equipment, and personnel required. Scheduling is coordinated to minimize downtime, and risk or safety considerations are addressed. This step ensures the process is efficient and fully compliant with standards.
04
Step

Execution

Calibration is carried out according to ISO/IEC 17025 procedures. Measurements are taken using traceable standards, results are documented, and any necessary adjustments or corrections are made. All observations, uncertainties, and deviations are recorded.
05
Step

Verification and Quality Check

After execution, the artifact undergoes verification to ensure it meets required specifications. Quality control checks are performed to confirm that the calibration is accurate, traceable, and compliant with applicable standards.
06
Step

Handover

The calibrated artifact is returned to the client along with a detailed report, including measurement results, uncertainties, and traceability information. Documentation ensures the client can maintain compliance and confidently use the equipment.
