SANAS-Accredited and Traceable Calibration Services

HJR Microptic is a SANAS-accredited calibration laboratory, providing accredited calibrations within our approved scope of accreditation. In addition, we offer traceable calibration services for equipment outside our accredited scope where appropriate. All calibrations are performed using standards that are regularly calibrated and linked through an unbroken chain of comparisons to national and internationally recognised measurement standards. This ensures measurement traceability, accuracy, and confidence in calibration results, whether an accredited certificate or a traceable calibration report is required. Our customers benefit from calibration services that support quality management systems, regulatory requirements, and reliable measurement performance across a wide range of applications.

The Standard

ISO/IEC 17025

Calibration laboratories operate under ISO/IEC 17025, the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. Unlike ISO 9001, which focuses on general quality management, ISO/IEC 17025 assesses both the quality system and the technical competence of the laboratory, ensuring accurate, traceable, and reliable calibration results.
