The traceable certificate is developed by comparing a thermometer to be calibrated to a reference thermometer having a valid ISO 17025 accredited certificate (less than 12 months).
The traceable certificate is generally satisfactory for inspectors during control visits.
The accredited certificate is produced in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory. This accreditation is provided by UKAS in the United Kingdom, COFRAC in French or DAkkS in Germany. Our accredited certificates are carried out in the UK.
The accredited certificate is generally used for sensitive measurements or for reference thermometers. These reference thermometers are then used to produce traceable certificates.
Calibration points are the temperatures at which the thermometer will be calibrated. The number of checkpoints you choose depends on your needs.
2 points: 0 and 100°C
3 points: -18, 0 and 100°C
4 points: -18, 0, 40 and 100°C
5 points: -18, 0, 40, 70 and 100°C
THE traceable certificates generally require 3 points.
THE accredited certificates generally require 5 points.
We can calibrate thermometers to custom checkpoints. In this case we invite you to send us a quote request.
For traceable certificates, we can calibrate thermometers from -100 to 500°C. For accredited certificates, the calibration range is -100 to 250°C.
