Calibration service
1. Introduction
In collaboration with Intertek, Distrelec is oering a 
calibration service for new electronic test and  
measurement instruments.
The Intertek calibration service provides the  
assurance that your instruments perform as stated in 
the datasheet.
Calibration involves comparing the read values of a 
measuring instrument or data recorder with the  
corresponding values of a reference tool that meets 
the reference standards. The measurement error 
is documented on a calibration certicate, which 
serves as proof. If the detected deviation is too large 
in relation to factory specication, adjustment of 
your data logger or measuring instrument will be 
required.
4. Lead time & Process
Items which are on stock will be shipped out for  
calibration within 24 hours.
Usually the time for the calibration of your device  
can be handled within 5 working days. This  
additional time for the calibration should be taken 
into consideration to your normal delivery time.
Process:
1. After the order has been placed for the calibrated 
version, the non-calibrated device will be sent out 
from our warehouse to the calibration institute of 
Intertek.
2. Calibration service in process at Intertek
3. Creating the certicate for end user
4. The device will be repacked and sent directly to 
the end user.
5. NOTE: No track and trace will be send to the client

5. What do I receive if I choose  
a calibrated product at Distrelec?
After calibration is performed, you will receive an ISO 
9001 certicate from Intertek, which is valid for 12 
months.

for your customers. The Intertek calibration certicates 
include:
.
 A description (model) and identication  
(eg. Serial no.) of the calibrated instrument.
.
 An identication of the calibration method (eg. A 
reference that calibration is performed according 
to the guidelines as set out in EN ISO / ISO 9001.
.
 The measured values detected by the calibration
.
 Calibration in a controlled environment measuring 
laboratory.
7. What if I don’t nd the product 
at Distrelec with a calibration 
service?
If you nd a product of interest without a calibration 
version, our customer support will be more then

3. How to get the 
instrument calibrated?
1. Please visit our website to nd instruments which 
can be calibrated. 
2. All measuring devices which can be calibrated 
have a “+ CAL” note in the specic product title.
3. To get the instrument calibrated you need to 
choose the “+ CAL” version which has its own specic 
item-nr.
Example:
.
 Search for FLUKE 87.
.
 You will nd two items appearing, one version  
without a calibration service (item-nr. 176-08-755) 
and one version including a calibration service 
(item-nr. 300-32-133).
.
 The price for the calibration service is already  
included in the nal price for calibrated version. 
6. Can I return the calibrated 
item if I am not satised with the 
device itself?
No. As the product is customised to your  
requirements, we cannot accept returns should  
you decide you no longer want the instrument.  
All orders for calibrated items are non-cancellable 
and non-returnable.
In the event that a calibrated product does not  
perform in line with the manufacturers specications, 
the manufacturers normal repair and/or return and 
replace procedures will apply. 
8. Can I get my instruments  
re-calibrated and is it necessary?
The answer for both topic is yes.
The reading and accuracy of the instruments may 
change over time.
Please contact our partner Intertek directly for a  
re-calibration of your device:
