Calibration vs Validation
Do you know the difference between calibration and validation services? We have a new video that helps to explain this very issue.
See the video on our UKAS page or on our YouTube channel.
DWS is accredited by UKAS to BS EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for:
- Temperature calibration within the range -80°C to 140°C
- Non-automatic weighing instrument calibration within the range 0-9kg
Lab Automation
