Environmental meter calibration

Lux, sound, airflow and multifunction environment meters.

Environmental meters for lighting, noise and ventilation checks, calibrated for health and safety and building services work.

All calibration is traceable to national standards and carried out under our ISO 9001 quality management system.

Instruments we calibrate

  • Light/lux meter
  • Airflow meter/anemometer
  • Sound level meter
  • Sound level calibrator
  • Environment meter
  • Multifunction environment meter
  • Anti-static meter
  • Microwave leakage detector

Why environmental meters need calibrating

Lux meters, sound level meters and anemometers are used to show that workplaces meet the standards they are held to. Health and safety advisers use sound level meters for noise assessments under the Control of Noise at Work Regulations. Building services and facilities teams use lux meters to check lighting levels and anemometers to check airflow and ventilation. If the meter is wrong, the assessment is wrong.

How often should environmental meters be calibrated?

Annual calibration is the common standard for lux meters, anemometers and environment meters. Sound level meters should be checked with a field calibrator before and after each set of measurements, and the meter and its calibrator should both be calibrated regularly, typically every one to two years.

What you get back

  • A calibration certificate with the make, model and serial number
  • Readings across the instrument's range compared with reference values
  • A statement of traceability to national standards
  • The calibration date and recommended due date

All work is carried out under our ISO 9001 quality management system. UKAS-accredited calibration can be arranged on request through our UKAS-accredited partner laboratory.

Common questions

Do you calibrate sound level calibrators too?

Yes. We calibrate sound level meters and the field calibrators used to check them.

Which environmental meters do you cover?

Lux meters, sound level meters, anemometers, multifunction environment meters, anti-static meters and microwave leakage detectors.

How do I send a meter in?

Drop it at a Calibration Point partner branch and we'll collect it, usually returning it within 3 to 5 working days.
