UKAS Accredited Calibrations

Accredited Calibration Laboratory No. 0256

Norbar was the first torque equipment manufacturer to have an in-house UKAS calibration laboratory and continues to offer the most comprehensive service available. The laboratory can calibrate most makes of torque wrench, torque multiplier and torque testing device within the range 0.05 N.m and 6800 N.m within the UKAS scope and upto 100000 N.m with traceable certification.

NIST TRACEABILITY

The measurements performed under Norbar's UKAS accreditation are traceable to the same international standards of length and mass that are used at NIST. There is therefore a traceability from UKAS to NIST and this is implied in the UKAS certificate issued with Norbar products. For customers requiring an American laboratory certificate Norbar USA can offer NIST traceability using factory-equivalent calibration equipment.
