Calibration | Metrology
The main purpose of calibration is to create metrological traceability of the measuring instruments data to higher order reference standards. Calibration of all measuring instruments is conducted according to the Act on Metrology No. 505/90 Coll. as amended. Calibration services are used especially in chemical, food, agricultural and biological laboratories as well as in laboratories in hospitals, in hygiene and veterinary stations, in waterworks laboratories, in drug substances control and environmental control facilities, in power engineering laboratories, geology and in other related fields.
Authorised metrology centre, official mark K 123 – The Czech office for standards, metrology and testing (Úřad pro technickou normalizaci, metrologii a státní zkušebnictví – ÚNMZ) authorised Institut pro testování a certifikaci, a.s. (Institute for testing and certification) (ITC) for verifying the following specified meters: elements of meters and measuring assemblies of flowing liquid volumes, temperature gauges (resistance temperature sensors as elements of meters and measuring assemblies of flowing liquid volumes in the range from -20 °C to 100 °C.) and heat and cold meters and their elements (resistance temperature gauges, as elements of temperature meters, in the range from 0 °C to 420 °C).
