What Is On-site Calibration?
Most calibration procedures are performed in a certified laboratory. However, in certain circumstances, this type of in-house calibration isn’t feasible, appropriate or convenient. In such instances, on-site calibration provides the perfect solution, with a dedicated mobile technician visiting your premises to perform your calibration in situ. The advantage to your business is fast, accurate and reliable calibration testing to suit your schedule.
Our on-site calibration services also deliver considerable savings on shipping, downtime, equipment hire, and potential damages that can occur in transit.
You’ll know that your equipment delivers accurate and valid results within the manufacturer’s specified tolerances. With same-day results and minimal disruption to your processes, our services are designed to save you time and money.

UKAS & ISO Accreditation: Why is it important for on-site calibration?
UKAS is the national accreditation body for the United Kingdom. It operates under a government mandate to assess and accredit organisations that provide testing, calibration, inspection, and certification services.
Accreditation by UKAS demonstrates that an organisation has been independently evaluated and found to be competent in its ability to provide reliable, accurate, and impartial services. This is important because it provides confidence and assurance to customers that the services provided by an accredited organisation are of high quality and meet internationally recognised standards.
ISO 9001 Certification is highly regarded and widely adopted by businesses as a means to demonstrate their commitment to quality management. The certification process involves several stages, including a thorough audit of the organization’s quality management system by an accredited certification body. The audit assesses the organisation’s ability to meet the requirements of ISO 9001 and effectively implement quality management practices.
Obtaining ISO 9001 Certification in the UK can provide numerous benefits to organisations, such as improved customer confidence, enhanced internal processes, increased operational efficiency, and access to new markets. It signals that an organisation has implemented robust quality management practices and is committed to continuous improvement.

On-site Calibration vs In-house Calibration
A major consideration for manufacturers is weighing up whether to opt for on-site calibration or in-house calibration at a dedicated testing facility. Both have their merits, depending on your requirements. If your business has a large number of items, critical items that are essential to your operations or are too sensitive for transportation, and large-scale equipment that can’t be moved, on-site calibration offers the perfect solution.
For less mission-critical equipment and instrumentation that is safe to transport and requires precise laboratory testing but doesn’t necessarily need immediate attention, in-house calibration provides a viable alternative. You can still expect a quick, efficient and precise calibration service. Just in a matter of a few days rather than the same day. Our GNW advisers are always on hand to discuss which service will be best suited to your needs. Read more on this topic in our detailed blog On-Site vs Off-Site Calibration – Which Is Better?

Why is Calibration So Important?
Regular calibration is essential for ensuring your instrumentation performs optimally at all times. Even the most fractional deviations can have a huge impact on the accuracy and validity of measurements, impacting safety and quality control. Purchasing, installing and running your own testing equipment can be prohibitively expensive for all but the largest manufacturers. This is where on-site calibration can give you the edge.
