In 1970, the laboratory in Sheffield was the first in the UK to be accredited by the then British Calibration Service (BCS), now the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS), for the issue of calibration certificates for non-contact thermometry.
To date, the laboratory has issued over 22,000 certificates to customers around the world, including industry and research establishments, Formula 1 race teams, other calibration facilities, and national laboratories. The laboratory calibrates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories) and offers a comprehensive service for the certification of infrared thermometers, thermal imagers, scanners, and blackbody sources across the range of -10°C to 2,500°C.
The UKAS laboratory has recently been accredited against the IOS/IEC 17025:2017 (general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories) standard, in addition to AMETEK Land’s laboratories in the United States and India.
AMETEK Land recommends annual service and calibration adjustment of temperature measurement equipment.
