Calibration Services & In-House Calibration Training

Keeping Test Equipment Accurate, Controlled and Audit-Ready

Calibration of test instruments is a core requirement across industry schemes such as BAFE, NSI and SSAIB, as well as management systems including ISO 9001.

Accurate, repeatable readings are essential - not just for compliance, but for safe working and confidence on site.

Ember Compliance supports organisations with both:

• in-house calibration services
• training to manage and carry out calibration internally

Why Calibration Matters

Test instruments are relied upon daily by engineers, but without proper calibration and control:

• readings can drift over time
• results may become inconsistent between engineers
• safe isolation procedures can be compromised
• audit evidence may be insufficient

Calibration is the foundation of consistent engineering standards and compliance.

In-House Calibration Services

We offer a practical calibration service designed for fire & security businesses.

• Calibration of commonly used test instruments
• Clear, structured records for audit purposes
• Support with maintaining calibration logs and control systems
• Optional replacement of components (e.g. leads, fuses) where required

Our focus is on keeping your equipment accurate, controlled, and ready for inspection.

Annual Safe Isolation & Calibration Day (On-Site)

For a streamlined approach, we offer a combined on-site service :

• Safe Isolation Training (half day) - up to 8 learners
• Meter Calibration - up to 3 meters per engineer (max 25 per day)
• £1,250 + VAT (day rate)

This approach reduces disruption while ensuring both:

✔ engineer competence

✔ equipment accuracy

In-House Calibration Training

For organisations looking to manage calibration internally, we provide a dedicated training course:

• Test Instrument In-House Calibration

This course covers both the theory and practical application of calibration using externally verified master instruments aligned to national standards.

Learners will gain understanding of:

• Principles of calibration
• External vs master/in-house calibration
• Methods of calibration across different instruments
• Documentation and record keeping
• Developing and maintaining a calibration plan

Practical elements include:

• Calibration exercises across common instruments (e.g. DMM, IR, SPL)
• Documentation exercises
• Real-world application of calibration processes

On completion, learners will be able to:

• control and manage calibration systems
• carry out in-house calibration activities
• maintain compliant records for audits

Who This Is For

• Fire & security companies managing engineering teams
• Quality managers and compliance leads
• Businesses working under BAFE, NSI, SSAIB or ISO frameworks
• Organisations looking to bring calibration in-house

Supporting Your Wider Compliance

Calibration is one part of a wider compliance picture. It works alongside:

• Safe Isolation training
• Technical auditing
• Quality Management Systems
• Engineer competence development

Together, these ensure your business is operating safely, consistently and in line with industry expectations.
