ON-SITE CALIBRATION SERVICES
On-Site Calibration Services: Bringing Precision to Your Doorstep
At Australian Calibration Group (ACG), we understand that sending your critical equipment off-site for calibration isn’t always feasible. Downtime can be costly, and the logistics of transporting delicate instruments can be a headache. That’s why we’re proud to offer comprehensive on-site calibration services to bring our expertise directly to your facility.

Why Choose On-Site Calibration?
- Minimise Downtime: Keeping your operations running smoothly is our priority. On-site calibration significantly reduces the time your equipment is out of commission, as there's no need for shipping or extended periods away from your production line or laboratory.
- Convenience and Efficiency: Our experienced technicians come to you, equipped with state-of-the-art NATA certified reference equipment. This eliminates the hassle and risk associated with transporting your instruments, saving you valuable time and resources.
- Reduced Risk of Damage: Sensitive equipment can be prone to damage during transit. By performing calibrations at your location, we eliminate the risks of shipping, ensuring your instruments remain in optimal condition.
- Tailored to Your Schedule: We work with you to schedule calibrations at a time that minimises disruption to your operations, whether it's during off-peak hours or scheduled maintenance windows.
The Importance of Calibration: Why It Matters, On-Site or Off
Depending on your industry, routine calibration can be a regulatory requirement; and it’s fundamental to the accuracy, reliability, and safety of your operations. Every instrument, over time and with use, can drift from its specified accuracy. This drift, if left unaddressed, can lead to significant problems.
What Can Go Wrong If Equipment Isn't Calibrated?
Failing to calibrate your equipment can have serious repercussions across various industries.
- In Manufacturing: Imagine a scenario where a torque wrench used for assembling critical components is out of calibration. This could lead to under-tightened or over-tightened fasteners, resulting in product failures, costly recalls, and a tarnished reputation. For example, in the automotive industry, an incorrectly torqued wheel could lead to catastrophic failure on the road.
- In Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare: Accuracy is paramount. An uncalibrated thermometer in a pharmaceutical cold storage facility could lead to incorrect temperature readings, compromising the efficacy and safety of medications. Similarly, an uncalibrated pressure gauge on a steriliser in a hospital could mean instruments aren't properly sterilised, posing a severe infection risk to patients.
- In Food Production: Precise temperature control is crucial for food safety. An uncalibrated oven or refrigerator thermometer could lead to food being undercooked or improperly stored, increasing the risk of bacterial growth and foodborne illnesses, potentially leading to widespread product recalls and public health crises.
- In Construction and Engineering: Uncalibrated measuring tools like laser levels or digital callipers can result in structural inaccuracies, leading to rework, project delays, cost overruns, and in extreme cases, compromised structural integrity that endangers lives.
- In Water Corporations: Unverified flow meters can result in inaccurate readings and measurements of water flow. The accuracy of these readings can be crucial for correct billing of end users, and monitoring of critical services.
These “horror stories” underscore the critical need for regular calibrations. Without it, businesses risk significant financial losses, legal liabilities, damage to their brand, and most importantly, compromised safety for their employees and customers.
