UKAS Calibration.

As Found calibrations provide a check of the current performance of your pipette, enabling you to validate previous work. No adjustment or servicing is performed. As Found is purely a statement of how the instrument is performing.

All levels include the following:

• As-Found calibration carried out at manufacturer's, ISO8655 or your own specification (as selected on the Decontamination Declaration)
• Calibration Date Sticker to show the next calibration due date (if defined on the Decontamination Declaration)
• A Certificate of Calibration showing a pass or fail based on the target specification*

Calibration is carried out with a specified number of readings at set volume points, depending on the service level chosen. UKAS calibration levels are as follows:

¹⁾ IMPORTANT: By selecting 5 readings per volume it is with the understanding that it will NOT permit a conclusion on conformity with ISO8655. The minimum requirement for conformity is 10 readings.

*If your pipette is not within the target specification, we can perform a Service and As Returned UKAS Calibration, if this is requested beforehand on the Decontamination Declaration.

With a Service & UKAS Calibration, adjustment and servicing is undertaken. The purpose is to confirm post-calibration accuracy. It does not determine if the pipette was providing correct measurements during its last period of use.

All levels include the following:

• Pipette dismantled, cleaned internally, inspected, leak tested and, if necessary, worn parts replaced
• Pipette externally cleaned
• Calibration carried out at manufacturer's, ISO8655 or your own specification (as selected on the Decontamination Declaration)
• If necessary, your pipette will be adjusted to comply and recalibrated to meet the required specifications
• Certificate of Calibration showing the results and any spare parts fitted
• Calibration Date Sticker to show the next calibration due date (if defined on the Decontamination Declaration)

Calibration is carried out with a specified number of readings at set volume points, depending on the service level chosen. The UKAS scalibration levels are as follows:

¹⁾ IMPORTANT: By selecting 5 readings per volume it is with the understanding that it will NOT permit a conclusion on conformity with ISO8655. The minimum requirement for conformity is 10 readings.

Pre- and post-calibrations document the pipette’s accuracy before (“as-found”) and after (“as-left”) any adjustments or servicing.

All levels include the following:

AS FOUND UKAS CALIBRATION:

• Calibration carried out at manufacturer's, ISO8655 or your own specification (as selected on the Decontamination Declaration)
• A Certificate of Calibration showing a pass or fail based on the target specifiction

SERVICE:

• Pipette dismantled, cleaned internally, inspected, leak tested and, if necessary, worn parts replaced
• Pipette externally cleaned⁴⁾ if requested on Decontamination Declaration and Purchase Order

AS LEFT UKAS CALIBRATION:

• Calibration carried out at manufacturer's, ISO8655 or your own specification
• If necessary, your pipette will be adjusted to comply and recalibrated to meet the required specifications
• Certification of Calibration showing the results and any spare parts fitted

Both calibrations are carried out with a specified number of readings at set volume points, depending on the service level chosen. The UKAS calibrations levels are as follows:

¹⁾ IMPORTANT: By selecting 5 readings per volume it is with the understanding that it will NOT permit a conclusion on conformity with ISO8655. The minimum requirement for conformity is 10 readings.
