Calibration of Automotive Test Equipment

Quality in motor vehicle inspections

Whether in workshops, inspection or test centers, the automotive industry operates a wide range of test equipment, including HU adapters, SP adapters, decelerometers and sound level meters. In order to ensure reliable measurements, such vehicle test equipment must be checked, calibrated or verified at regular intervals (12 to 24 months). Did you know? Calibration of measuring instruments is even mandatory for vehicle repair stores!

Trust a competent, accredited partner when it comes to the calibration of your test equipment for vehicle inspections. We calibrate your measuring instruments quickly and reliably.
