Notification – Calibration Scheduling over the Christmas Holiday Period
MSL and our Inwards/Outwards Goods Store will be closed from midday on Friday 20 December 2024 and reopen on Wednesday 8 January 2025. Enquiries will not be responded to during this time.
The last day for calibration scheduling is Monday 2 December. Please continue to send your calibration requests, which will be backlogged and scheduled with you from Monday 3 February 2025.
Our calibration services include measuring of a variety of forms of gauges including: blocks, rings, plugs, as well as electronic distance meters and linescales such as engineering rules, graticules, tapes and surveying staffs. We also have the capability to measure optical flats and the roundness of an object or to perform 3-dimensional coordinate metrology on our traceable CMM.
Our Accredited Calibration Services:
Our typical turn-around time 10-20 working days. Please contact us to book your items in for calibration.
Full IANZ scope is available here(external link).
Fees effective from 17 September 2024.
