Instrument Calibration & Repair FAQ | EuroCaltech Abu Dhabi

What is instrument calibration and why is it necessary?

Calibration ensures an instrument remains precise and prevents it from drifting from its ideal state. Technicians correct minor imbalances to return the meter to optimal operating conditions. Annual testing is required because extreme temperatures or moisture can degrade functionality even if a meter is rarely used.

What happens if my equipment fails the calibration test?

Instruments that fail are automatically routed to our internal repair department for diagnostic troubleshooting and component refurbishment. Please ensure all cords, chargers, leads, and primary accessories are submitted with the hardware to help identify internal component faults.

How much does the repair inspection cost and how long does it take?

The evaluation procedure takes up to one working week. The assessment fee is fully reimbursed if you choose to proceed with the quoted repair work. Note that standard free-price guarantees do not apply to testers that have already failed their initial calibration checks.

What are your turnaround times for certificates and service?

In-House Lab: Hardware and certificates are dispatched within 2 to 3 business days of receipt.

Standard Service: Certain instruments feature a strict 5-working-day turnaround plan.

On-Site Service: Next-day deployment is available. Field certificates are delivered electronically within 5 business days of the visit.

Will calibration erase the stored data or memory on my tester?

No. The technical testing loop evaluates physical and electronic hardware tolerances only. It does not alter or erase data saved within the device memory.

How do I replace a lost or incorrect calibration certificate?

If a document is misplaced or requires a text correction, contact our administration desk immediately. We will verify the tracking log and issue a replacement certificate.

What do Laboratory Accreditation and Scope of Accreditation mean?

Accreditation is formal legal recognition of a laboratory's technical competency to perform specific testing metrics. The Scope of Accreditation strictly lists the exact parameters, ranges, and instrument types the facility is officially certified to calibrate.
