Accurate measurement results are essential for reliable decisions and consistent product quality. Over time, an instrument’s measurement performance can drift, even if it appears stable. Anton Paar’s calibration services compare your instrument with certified standards and reference materials to determine and document measurement accuracy, helping you maintain confidence in your results.
Why calibration matters
Measurement drift affects accuracy over time
Inaccurate results can impact product quality
Lack of traceability increases compliance risk
Reliable data requires documented accuracy
Calibration supports consistent decision-making
What’s included in calibration?
Calibration using certified standards and reference materials
Measurement of instrument deviation across defined parameters
Use of certified calibration tools and reference instruments
Adjustment of instrument parameters where required
Calibration certificate with documented, traceable values
Service benefits
Accurate results
Determine measurement deviations and ensure your instrument delivers accurate and reliable results for everyday operation.
Traceable measurements
Certified standards provide the basis for traceable values, supporting confidence in your measurement results.
Documented evidence
Calibration certificates document results and deviations, supporting internal quality requirements and providing evidence for audits.
Compliance support
Regular calibration supports compliance with internal quality standards and external regulatory requirements.
Recommended services
Calibration ensures accurate and traceable measurement results. The following services complement calibration by confirming performance, supporting compliance, and maintaining long-term reliability.
ISO 17025 calibration For regulated environments, ISO 17025 calibration provides accredited results and formal certification to meet strict compliance requirements.
Analytical instrument qualification Qualification services ensure your instruments are compliant with regulatory standards and fit for their intended use throughout their lifecycle.
Preventive maintenance Preventive maintenance complements calibration by helping ensure reliable instrument operation and reducing the risk of failures that could impact measurement stability over time.
What is the difference between calibration and performance verification?
Calibration determines measurement accuracy and provides traceable values based on certified standards. Performance verification checks whether the instrument is operating within defined specifications. Calibration focuses on accuracy and traceability, while verification confirms performance within limits.
Do I need calibration if my instrument is performing correctly?
Yes. Measurement accuracy drifts over time, even if an instrument might appear to function normally. Calibration identifies these deviations and ensures that results remain accurate and reliable, even when no visible issues are present.
What documentation do I receive after calibration?
You receive a calibration certificate that documents measurement results, deviations, and traceability. This certificate supports internal quality requirements and provides evidence for audits and inspections.
Can calibration be combined with other services?
Yes. Calibration is often combined with maintenance, verification, or qualification services to support both accurate measurement results and long-term operational reliability.
What is the difference between calibration and ISO 17025 calibration?
Standard calibration provides traceable measurement results and documented deviations using certified standards. ISO 17025 calibration additionally includes accreditation according to internationally recognized requirements and is typically required in regulated or highly controlled environments.
Are calibration services available for all instruments and regions?
Calibration availability may vary depending on instrument type and location. Certain calibration methods or service options may differ. Anton Paar will advise you on the services available for your specific instrument and region.
Ensure accurate, traceable measurement results with calibration services tailored to your instrument and quality requirements.
