Acoustic Calibration Services

If you are using your noise measurement instruments to meet any Standards, Regulations or Guidelines, it is essential that your equipment is measuring accurately. Most modern standards, regulations of guidelines will clearly state the standards to which the equipment must comply.

For example, the 2005 Control of Noise At Work Regulations states “Your sound level meter should meet at least Class 2 of BS EN 61672-1:2003 (the current instrumentation standard for sound level meters)..”, “Your dosemeter should meet the requirements of BS EN 61252:1997 Dosemeters have no type or class number.” and “Your calibrator should meet at least Class 2 of BS EN 60942:2003”.

Similarly, BS 4142:2014 states: “Select systems for measuring sound pressure levels, including microphone(s), cable(s), windscreen(s), recording devices and other accessories which conform to BS EN 61672-1, Class 1, for free-field application, as appropriate. Filters, where used, should conform to BS EN 61260, Class 1, and sound calibrators to BS EN 60942, Class 1.”

If you are going to continue to use your noise measurement instruments over a long period, it is vital that they continue to meet these same standards and this is why calibration, both Field Calibration and Periodic Verification, are an essential part of undertaking noise measurements.

UKAS-accredited calibration is one of the highest possible standards of instrument verification available. It means that all of our test equipment has been officially verified to internationally recognised standards by a body recognised across the world, and that the accuracy of your equipment’s calibration is unrivalled.

We can calibrate noise and vibration instruments from any manufacturer.

• Sound level meters
• Noise dosimeters
• Acoustic calibrators
• Environmental noise monitors
• Vibration meters

Important information: Please ensure that you transfer all your data from your device to your PC/laptop before sending it in for calibration. Your instrument’s memory is wiped as part of the calibration process and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to recover any lost data.
