Laboratory calibration
MICRO-TEC has several metrology rooms suitable for different calibration methods
Calibration at a certified laboratory.
MICRO-TEC has a metrology room that complies with the UNI EN ISO 1 standard for the reference temperature of (20±0.5)°C and (20±1)°C.
Detailed operation.
The process is structured into rigorous phases:
Receipt and inspection
Inspection of the received instruments through the verification of packages and documentation
Preparation of measuring instruments for calibration.
To ensure a correct measurement, the instrument is carefully cleaned. If any anomalies are detected, the Customer is promptly contacted.
Thermal stabilization
The instruments are placed in temperature-controlled metrology rooms, where they remain for the necessary time to achieve stabilization. This phase is essential to ensure reliable measurements.

Calibration execution
Calibration is performed using documented methods and certified reference standards that allow calibrations across multiple quantities.
Issuance of documentation
Each calibration is accompanied by the documentation requested by the Customer:
- Calibration Report
- ACCREDIA Certificate.
Repackaging and shipment.
The material is rechecked and packaged, with the process recorded through a video system to ensure transparency and traceability.
General Calibration Process.
The process varies depending on the method (in the laboratory or On-Site), but follows precise main phases:
Laboratory calibration
- Receipt of instruments via courier.
- Inspection and unpacking with video recording.
- Cleaning and removal of previous labels.
- Stabilization in a temperature-controlled metrology room.
- Calibration using certified reference standards.
- Issue of a report or ACCREDIA certificate.
- Repackaging and shipment.
Average time: approximately 1 week.
FAQ – Laboratory Calibration
Laboratory calibration is a strategic choice for all companies requiring the highest level of precision, traceability and regulatory compliance.
In this section, we answer the most frequently asked questions about MICRO-TEC’s laboratory calibration service: from operational lead times to the differences between a calibration report and an ACCREDIA certificate, as well as the methods used to manage and protect instruments throughout the process.
Our goal is to provide not only accurate measurements, but also clarity, transparency and technical support at every stage of the service.
Why choose laboratory calibration instead of On-Site calibration?
Laboratory calibration is recommended for particularly sensitive instruments, for measurements requiring extremely stable environmental conditions, or when there is no operational urgency. The temperature-controlled metrology rooms ensure the highest level of measurement accuracy and repeatability.
How long does the laboratory calibration service take?
The average turnaround time is approximately one week from receipt of the instruments. Lead times may vary depending on the type of instrument, the quantity of instruments sent, and the required documentation (standard report or ACCREDIA certificate).
What is the difference between a calibration report and an ACCREDIA certificate?
The calibration report is a faster and more cost-effective solution, suitable for most quality management systems.
The ACCREDIA certificate follows more rigorous procedures, is issued by an accredited calibration laboratory, and guarantees the highest level of metrological traceability, with longer lead times and higher costs.
How are instruments managed during transport and processing?
Every receiving, unpacking and packaging phase is monitored and recorded. This approach ensures maximum transparency, protects the Customer and reduces any possibility of disputes.
