Calibration, often treated as a technical detail, is a linchpin of trust, safety, and compliance. When you rely on instruments in manufacturing, testing, or quality assurance, uncalibrated or drifted tools can lead to errors, failures, or regulatory non-compliance. GIL Automation offers ISO/IEC 17025-accredited calibration and repair services to guard against those risks. gilautomation
What Is ISO/IEC 17025 & Why It Matters
-
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard defining competence for testing and calibration laboratories.
-
When a laboratory is accredited under this standard, its calibration outcomes are traceable and accepted globally.
-
For your business, that means data you trust, audits you pass, and credibility you build.
GIL’s Calibration Capabilities
GIL Automation handles both onsite and in-lab calibration. Their warranty, certificate access, and broad parameter coverage make them stand out:
-
Warranty & certificate access: 180-day warranty on calibrated equipment. Calibration certificates are made available online via the GIL Calibration Asset Management System (CAMS).
-
Broad coverage of parameters:
• Electrical (multimeters, oscilloscopes, voltmeters, insulation testers, etc.)
• Dimensional (micrometers, calipers, gauges, etc.)
• Torque (wrenches, torque meters, screwdrivers)
• Force & weight (balances, load cells, scales)
• Pressure & vacuum (pressure gauges, transducers, vacuum gauges)
• Temperature (thermometers, RTDs, thermocouples, ovens)
Business Benefits You Gain
| Benefit | Description |
|---|---|
| Quality control & consistency | Instruments that are regularly calibrated produce reliable, consistent outputs. |
| Regulatory & audit compliance | Many industries (health, oil & gas, manufacturing) demand ISO traceability. |
| Reduced risk & liability | Instrument errors can lead to defects, safety hazards, or legal issues. |
| Longer instrument life | Regular calibration helps detect drift, wear, or damage early. |
| Efficiency & cost savings | Avoids downtime, reduces scrap, and prevents hidden losses. |
Real-World Use Cases
-
A factory’s torque wrenches getting miscalibrated over time causes bolt undertightening; calibration prevents that.
-
A lab’s balances drift by small amounts over time, which can skew product formulation; calibration keeps accuracy.
-
Field instruments in oil & gas sites degrade due to environmental stress On-site calibration ensures continuous operation.
