WHY CALIBRATE EQUIPMENT?
The industry, whatever it may be, needs to produce/manufacture high quality products or services for it to succeed on the market whether it is local or international. It also has to make sure that the products and services it offers are safe to human beings through reliable, credible and traceable measurement results. For this to be achieved, every Industry has to make sure that the measuring equipment it uses are accurate and precise and that they maintain the traceability of measurement results to international standards as required by ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 standards.
The only way to check this is to have the measuring equipment calibrated or verified by calibration laboratories who are competent according to ISO 17025. In medical labs, reliable and credible measurement results allow doctors to make sound decisions and to give correct prescriptions to patients thereby improving the health of the people and the economy of the nation in a long run.
Most medical labs use uncalibrated equipment leading to wrong prescriptions given to patients resulting in further complications. This is not due to incompetence of doctors but due to wrong information given by the equipment they use. The services offered by BenCal Technologies (Pty) Ltd help to check this anomaly.
Production and processing companies rely on measuring equipment in their controlling and monitoring systems to ensure the quality of the products they produce. Using uncalibrated instruments results in production of foods that are unsafe to humans.
