We offer verification services to validate the compliance of your equipment as part of your preventive maintenance programme and when you commission new equipment.
Measuring equipment is calibrated and validated in approved metrology centres. Calibration certificates can be provided with the inspection reports.
When verification is complete, we provide you with a report containing the results and assessing compliance with the prevailing standards.
The report is sent by email and a sticker stating the date and compliant status and is affixed to the device concerned. Reports may be sent by surface mail on request.
