UKAS-Accredited Weight Recalibration
UKAS-accredited recalibration for laboratory, reference and test weights across OIML classes E1, E2, F1, F2, M1, M2 and M3.
Maintain Confidence in Your Weighing Results
Laboratory, reference and test weights are used to check, verify and support the performance of balances and weighing equipment.
Where weights form part of a documented quality-control or measurement process, periodic recalibration helps maintain confidence in their stated mass values and continued suitability for use.
Auckland Scientific can arrange UKAS-accredited recalibration for suitable weights across OIML classes E1, E2, F1, F2, M1, M2 and M3.

Why Recalibrate Your Weights?
Reference and test weights can be affected by repeated handling, contamination, environmental exposure and normal wear.
When weights are used to verify laboratory balances or support documented measurement procedures, recalibration helps confirm that they remain suitable for their intended purpose.
How Often Should Weights Be Recalibrated?
The appropriate interval depends on frequency of use, handling, storage conditions, previous calibration results and the requirements of your own quality procedures.
Typical Applications
Laboratory Balances
Balance Verification
Quality Control
Manufacturing
Research Laboratories
Education
