Precision Without Compromise – Calibration by GMC-I Service

Measuring instruments are the backbone of countless industrial, medical, and research applications. But like any technical system, they are subject to wear, temperature fluctuations, and environmental influences. Even the smallest deviations can result in incorrect readings – with potentially serious consequences:

• Production errors & waste: Inaccurate measurements lead to defective components or products.
• Inefficient use of energy & resources: Faulty measurements can cause machines to operate inefficiently, resulting in higher operating costs.
• Standards violations & liability risks: Many industries are legally required to comply with specific measurement accuracy regulations.
• Safety risks: In medical technology or energy supply, inaccurate data can put lives at risk.

🔍 The bottom line: Regular calibration ensures that measuring instruments operate reliably and accurately – and protects companies from financial and legal consequences.

How does a calibration process work?

Many companies know calibration is important, but not what it actually involves. The process is strictly standardized and includes several steps:

• 1. Incoming inspection: The device is visually checked and linked to our lab system.
• 2. Measurement recording: The device is tested against a high-precision reference.
• 3. Deviation analysis: Recorded values are compared with the standard specifications.
• 4. Adjustment (if requested): If deviations occur, the device can be readjusted.
• 5. Documentation & certificate: All results are logged in accordance with standards.

📌 Important: Calibration does not change or manipulate the device – it simply determines how accurate the instrument still is. Adjustment is optional and can be added to the service.

How often should a device be calibrated?

There is no universal rule for calibration intervals – it depends on the application, instrument type, and applicable regulations.

General recommendations:

• Annual calibration: Standard in most industrial and medical applications. ✔
• Semi-annual or more frequent: For critical measurements or high-load instruments. ✔
• Multi-year intervals: For low-use or robust devices (e.g. in private use). ✔

💡 Our tip: We help you develop a custom calibration plan that saves costs while ensuring maximum accuracy. You can also activate our automatic calibration reminder – so you’ll never miss a due date and stay fully compliant!

What regulations apply to calibration?

Many industries are subject to strict requirements for measurement accuracy:

• ISO 9001 & Quality Management Systems: Companies must prove their measuring devices are regularly calibrated. 📏
• Medical Technology: Strict standards like DIN EN 60601 or ISO 13485 apply, ensuring the safety, quality and performance of medical devices. ⚕
• Industry & Manufacturing: Manufacturers must ensure device accuracy in accordance with ISO 10012. 🔧
• Energy & Environmental Monitoring: Energy meters and environmental devices are subject to official verification obligations. ⚡
