On-Site Calibration Process

Introduction To On-Site Calibration

Going without calibration for a significant time is likely to lead to faults, inaccuracies and inefficient operation, as well as a higher likelihood of accidents and injuries.

In many cases, insufficient maintenance of equipment may result in a voided warranty or issues with your insurance.

GNW Instrumentation offers on-site calibration services tailored to a wide range of industries and machines.

What Is An On-Site Calibration Process?

On-site calibration involves a visit from specialists to your site or premises, enabling them to test, adjust and maintain equipment without removing it from the environment in which it usually operates.

This approach is often favoured above the off-site alternative, as it is often quicker – which means less downtime. What’s more, there is less likelihood of machinery being damaged in transit, or of the calibration being undertaken in an environment that does not reflect your usual working conditions.

GNW Instrumentation offers on-site calibration services to a wide range of industries, including:

• Aerospace and defence
• Automotive/Aviation
• Fire and Rescue
• Food production
• Healthcare and medical
• Heating and ventilation
• Manufacturing
• Marine
• Petrochemical

If you do not feel that the sector in which you operate is reflected above, don’t hesitate to get in touch with the GNW team – as this is by no means an exhaustive list.

Methodology

From start to finish, our approach to on-site calibration is straightforward, efficient and transparent. Once a client has contacted us via our site, call 01704 536 010 or email info@gnw.co.uk.

We’ll ask you to complete a form, which will include details of all equipment requiring calibration. We will check to confirm that the work can be done – and then we’ll be in touch to offer a free, no-obligation quote as soon as possible.

We’ll assess the information that you have given to us before arranging to visit your site or premises to begin the process – at a date and time that suits you. We will give you details of the work we intend to do and confirm that you are happy to proceed.

During our communications, we’ll give you a clear idea of what will happen on the day, including any downtime that may be involved, so you can plan accordingly. In some instances, we may need to take equipment off-site to work on it effectively during the calibration process.

Of course, if this is to be the case, we will provide you with details of how we will do this – including the safety measures we will take – and we will also provide you with a clear timescale for its return so that you are always in the loop.

If we find that certain pieces of equipment or machinery are experiencing maintenance issues, we will contact you to check whether you wish us to proceed with a repair. If you confirm, we will repair it and include the cost in our fee.

If you do not wish for us to repair the equipment, we will be happy to dispose of it on your behalf.

Calibration is directly followed by verification. As soon as we have completed the process, we’ll provide you with a certificate of confirmation for your records – so you’ll have a record of what was done and when it took place.
