SONEL  Testing  and  Calibration  Laboratory  has  been  accredited  by  the 
Polish Center for Accreditation (PCA) - certificate no. AP 173.  
 
Laboratory  offers  calibration  for  the  following  instruments  that  are  used 
for measuring electrical and non-electrical parameters. 
  

●

The Calibration Certificate is a document that presents a relation between the  calibration standard of 
known  accuracy  and  meter  indications  with  associated  measurement  uncertainties.  The  calibration 
standards are normally traceable to the national standard held by the National Metrological Institute.  
 
According  to  ILAC-

G24  „Guidelines  for  determination  of  calibration  intervals  of  measuring  instru-

ments”,  SONEL  S.A.  recommends  periodical  metrological  inspection  of  the  instruments  it  manufac-
tures no less frequently than once every 12 months. 
 
For new instruments provided with the Calibration Certificate or Validation Certificate at the factory, re-
calibration should be performed within 12 months from the date of purchase, however, no later than 24 
months from the date of purchase. 
 

 

ATTENTION! 
 

The  person  performing  the  measurements  should  be  absolutely  sure  about  the  effi-
ciency  of  the  device  being  used.  Measurements  made  with  an  inefficient  meter  can 
contribute  to  an  incorrect  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  health  protection  and 
even human life.
