Calibration Services

All precision light measurement instruments such as our ILT1400A and ILT1700 Light Meters requires periodic recalibration to ensure proper operation. That is why International Light Technologies has expanded our NIST traceable calibration lab, invested in new equipment, and are planning to extend our standard calibration service offering. Our calibration lab adheres to and is in certification process for ISO17025 which includes both optical and electrical calibrations.

Calibration Lab
As our customer base has grown over the past 40+ years, and as our customers have adopted quality manufacturing standards such as ISO9001, we have seen a dramatic increase in the demand for annual NIST traceable recalibration. In response to this increase in demand for calibration services we have expanded our calibration lab, invested in new equipment, and are planning to extend our standard calibration service offering.
Annual Recalibration
All instrumentation requires periodic recalibration to ensure proper operation. In addition, extreme operating conditions (UV, head, and dirt) can degrade optical performance
Annual recalibration provides a relatively inexpensive guarantee of accuracy. Accurate readings translate into more efficient production processes, more reliable research and safer medical procedures. Annual recalibration is typically a requirement of ISO9001 certification.
NIST Traceable
International Light Technologies obtains fully characterized Primary Standard Detectors directly from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg, Maryland. Through the transfer of standards technique, we compare the output of a customer's detector to a standard under tightly controlled laboratory conditions. Our calibration lab adheres to the provisions of ISO17025 which includes both optical and electrical calibrations.
