Calibrations are performed according to the manufacturer’s performance verification procedures wherever possible and it is standard practice for the instrument’s performance to be checked for compliance with the manufacturer’s accuracy specifications. If found to be outside these performance limits, adjustments are performed and the “as found” and “as left” results reported on the calibration certificate. This enables the customer to take remedial action if required, which may result from an instrument being found to have been performing outside the manufacturer’s accuracy specifications.
At the end of each and every calibration, a calibration certificate is issued, which bears the SANAS accreditation logo. This provides not only local recognition that the RMS calibration laboratory has met, and continues to meet the requirements of ISO IEC 17025 as proven through independent third party assessment by SANAS, but also international recognition of calibration performed in South Africa. This is of particular importance if a company has overseas principals and needs to comply with international standards.
RMS is equipped with a fully SANAS accredited calibration laboratory to ensure calibrations performed on instruments result in valid measurement results. Our full SANAS accredited scope can be viewed on the SANAS website at
We pride ourselves in our scope of measurement capabilities since we are accredited for the smallest uncertainties in a number of parameters in South Africa, outside of the National Metrology Institute of South Africa (NMISA).
