Why Choose In-House Calibration Services?

Calibration is vital because accurate measurements ensure the safety and efficiency of your operations. Choosing an in-house lab like Continental Testing means you get quick, reliable service without sending your equipment far away. That reduces downtime significantly. You save money, get accurate readings, and keep your business running smoothly.

Imagine running a factory. If a pressure gauge is off, your machinery might malfunction, causing costly delays. By calibrating regularly with our in-house experts, you avoid these disruptions. We've helped many businesses like yours prevent operational headaches by maintaining their equipment precisely.

Our Mobile Lab is ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited

Continental Testing is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025, the globally recognized standard for laboratory testing and calibration. This accreditation demonstrates that our methods, reference standards, and competence undergo routine third‑party audits. Proficiency tests, uncertainty budgets, and equipment maintenance logs are reviewed and compared to strict requirements.

Our In-House Lab Capabilities

Wider Measurement Range

The lab houses equipment that is impractical to move, including 50 kN dead‑weight testers and a 4 m integrating sphere for luminance checks.

Advanced Reference Standards

We maintain primary standards that are verified by NIST or equivalent bodies.

Automated Measurement Systems

Software collects thousands of data points in seconds, then applies statistical checks. The approach reduces human error and shortens cycle time.

Fast Turnaround

Standard service averages five business days door to door for common hand tools. Expedited one‑day service is available on request (subject to queue capacity).

Detailed Certificates

Each report includes before and after data, measurement uncertainty, equipment traceability, and a technician’s digital signature that meets your internal and regulatory audit requirements.
