Calibration and verification
Before shipment from the factory, your system is calibrated and tested to ensure that it meets its
performance specifications. The factory calibration is traceable to national standards, but is not a full
calibration meeting all the requirements of the relevant ISO and ASTM standards. ISO 7500-1 and
ASTM E4 both state that a calibration must be performed after installation for it to meet their standard.
This helps ensure that any changes in calibration during shipment are corrected before any test data is
taken. These standards also recommend that verifications are performed annually or whenever the
system is moved.
Service Agreements/Contracts
In many countries and territories Instron Service offers a variety of service agreements and contracts to
cover such things as annual verification, maintenance, repair coverage, and hotline support for your
system. Contact your local Instron office for details on a service agreement or contract that best matches
your needs. A listing of Instron offices can be found on the Instron web site at
www.instron.com .
Calibration Upon Installation
ASTM, ISO, and EN standards require the system be calibrated when it is installed or when it is moved or
relocated. Instron calibrates the system at the factory, and provides a record of readings for the load cell.
This frame may be verified on-site to ASTM E-4, BS 1610, DIN 51221, ISO 7500/1, EN 10002-2, JIS
B7721, JIS B773 or AFNOR A03-501 standards. The factory calibration is not a complete verification to
any current version of any of the above standards. Installation and Basic Software training are included
with the purchase of your system. Verification services are available at a reduced rate if performed as
part of the installation, but must be purchased separately. Contact your local Instron office for more
information about our on-site verification services. Refer to
“Calibration Services” below for more
information about Instron’s calibration services.
