UKAS Accredited Instrument Calibration Services
Based in North Wales, we provide UKAS accredited test equipment calibration services for RF and microwave electrical
measurement instruments across the UK and Ireland. Our calibration technicians have years of calibration experience,
ready to meet your calibration requirements.
We provide three different types of calibration services; Basic Calibration, Express Calibration and On-Site Calibration. Is your instrument requiring calibration? Contact us now and we will be more than happy to help.
The Oscilloscope Calibration Service is one of the most popular services we provide. Over the years we have calibrated oscilloscopes from different industries, such as: Healthcare, Read More.
We provide calibration services for both bench and handheld spectrum analysers. We calibrate all spectrum analysers from all manufactures, such as Rohde & Schwarz, Keysight, Read More.
We provide calibration services for a range of RF and microwave signal generators. Signal generators are electronic devices that generate repeating or non-repeating electronic signals, Read More.
Power meter calibration services at competitive prices with a 2 – 5 working day turnaround. Power meters measure electrical power and microwave frequencies usually in the range, Read More.

What is Calibration?
Instrument calibration is one of the primary processes used to maintain instrument to a standard of known accuracy. Calibration is the process of configuring an instrument to provide a result for a sample within an acceptable range. Eliminating or limiting factors that cause inaccurate measurements is a fundamental aspect of instrumentation design.
What is UKAS Accreditation?
UKAS accreditation covers a broad range of calibration activities. Calibration laboratories support the activities of other accredited testing laboratories, as well as provide accurate measurement and traceability to the manufacturing sector, engineering sector, construction sector, and equipment makers.
Traceability of Equipment calibration
To provide confidence in the legitimacy of the calibration results they must be traceable. This means that the results on the instrument calibration certificate need to be traceable to the standard used, and the results on the certificate for the standard are in turn traceable to the standard used for its calibration, and so on back to standards held by a national laboratory (National Physical Laboratory – NPL in the UK). Furthermore, each set of results in this unbroken chain should be accompanied by a quantified statement of the uncertainty of measurement.
Uncertainty of Equipment measurement
There will always be an element of uncertainty about any measurement no matter how carefully the measurement is made. If the measurements are carried out as part of a calibration, then the uncertainty should be reported on the resulting certificate. You can think of the uncertainty as the accuracy with which a measurement has been made.
Does my equipment need calibrating?
Not necessarily, but if your test equipment isn’t measuring accurately then you won’t receive correct measurement readings. Calibration services can be costly and that is one of the main factors when it comes to deciding not to calibrate your instrument(s). However there can be even bigger costs when it comes to using an un-calibrated instrument such as product re-calls, how does the cost of a product recall stack up against the cost of calibrating an instrument(s).
