UKAS accreditation covers new low loads
The latest UKAS Accreditation (see here on the UKAS website.) Includes new Vickers micro-hardness scales of HV0.05 and HV0.025 as well as Knoop at HK0.05 and HK0.025 making UK Calibrations only a handful of companies able to calibrate at these loads.
With micro-hardness becoming more common for the testing of alloys and resins UK Calibrations has the capability and is equipped to calibrate your equipment at these new low scales.
Document Vault
One of the commonest requests we get is "We've lost our certificate, we have an audit, could you please send us a copy?" We have always been happy to do this (even if it meant looking back over many years with only a serial number and a vague date :) But how much better would it be if you, the customer, had 24/7 access to your certificates on our database? The UK Calibrations Document Vault allows you to do just that, better still the service is free of charge (Terms and conditions apply).

Effective training is a necessity that helps your staff develop new skills, master new procedures and reinforce existing protocols.
