Calibration and Repair Services

CalNet®: The European Specialist in Calibration

Fluke has its own calibrations laboratories in the United Kingdom, The Netherlands and Germany, and authorized service partners in most of the other countries in Europe. All These calibration laboratories work together as a single calibration network: CalNet.

CalNet can issue the calibration certificates you need to meet ISO 9000 standards. CalNet guarantees traceability and access to the best calibration facilities the network can offer. Because of constant information exchange and comparing standards within the network, traceability increases while inaccuracy and uncertainty decreases.

CalNet is able to help you meet the calibration needs of not only equipment made by Fluke but also other manufacturers products. It is a network that provides you with some real key advantages:

• CalNet laboratories are approved by and traceable to the National Standards Institutes.
• Each Laboratory is a link in the chain of an active network. Sharing information, expertise and the same quality standards.

The need for calibration is directly related to the specific tasks performed by your equipment. CalNet is able to provide you with the services tailored to your need which include:

• Perform verification check for simple test equipment. The CalNet sticker placed on your instrument after testing guarantee that it operates as specified.
• CalNet Certificate including a calibration report. When you need to know the exact results of the calibration.
• National calibration certificate if you need direct traceability to the National Standards Institutes.
• CalNet offers complete inventory and maintenance management of your installed test and measuring equipment including equipment of other manufacturers. One address for all your equipment maintenance and service needs

Fluke can perform calibrations in different ways, so you can choose the calibration which has the best fit to your quality system, in relation to the price. The calibrations are divided in 4 levels, each with their specific procedure, from which the details are described hereafter. Download the Calibration Request Form.

Asset Management

Fluke is able to calibrate most of the electrical equipment herself. But also for the management of your total assets Fluke is the proper choice.

Fluke is able to subcontract all calibration and repairs, which we cannot perform ourselves, to other suppliers in an efficient way. Therefore Fluke has cooperation agreements with a number of well known suppliers, like Agilent Technologies B.V., Tektronix, Rohde & Schwarz.

Furthermore Fluke has a large database of suppliers, were on regular basis calibrations and repairs are subcontracted. All this subcontracted work is fully handled by Fluke. Calibration information of this equipment is included in our system. In this way we can clearly report on the total assets.
