Service Highlights
Calibrate what you need, or everything. Choose verification at the points that matter most to your program, such as your most-used operating conditions, or request a full-range calibration. Custom test points let you match the calibration scope to your internal procedures.
Traceable and documented. Every calibration is traceable to NIST and comes back with a calibration report for your records and audits. When your program requires stated measurement uncertainties, add ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration. Because the service is verify-only, RADIAN documents your standard’s performance without adjusting it.
RADIAN and Non-RADIAN Standards: What Is Included
Non-RADIAN calibration covers verification and documentation. RADIAN-made standards get the full service from the people who built them, including repair, upgrades, and temperature testing. See RADIAN Calibration Services for details.
| Non-RADIAN standards | RADIAN standards | |
|---|---|---|
| Calibration | Verify only (no adjustment), at selected points or full range | Full operating range |
| Custom test points | Yes | Yes |
| NIST traceability and report | Yes | Yes |
| ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration | Optional, with stated uncertainties | Optional, with stated uncertainties |
| On-site calibration available | Yes | Yes |
| Repair and upgrade | No | Yes, with temperature testing |
| Care Plans | No | Yes |
| RMA required | For calibration at RADIAN (not on site) | For calibration at RADIAN (not on site) |
How to Send a Standard In
- Request an RMA. Every calibration sent to RADIAN needs one; on-site calibration does not. Request an RMA online.
- Choose the scope: selected test points or the full operating range.
- Ship the standard to RADIAN with the RMA number.
- Receive it back with its calibration report, ready for your records.

Prefer not to ship your standard? RADIAN also calibrates RADIAN and non-RADIAN equipment on site, with no RMA needed.
Non-RADIAN Calibration FAQ
Which standards does this service cover
The service covers AC energy reference standards made by manufacturers other than RADIAN. Contact RADIAN to confirm your model before you send it in.
What does verify only mean
RADIAN measures and documents your standard's performance at the test points you select or across its full operating range, without adjusting it. The service does not include adjustment or repairs.
Is the calibration accredited and traceable
Every calibration is traceable to NIST and includes a calibration report. ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration, which states the measurement uncertainties, is available as an optional purchase for non-RADIAN standards as well as RADIAN's own. See our certification and accreditation page for certificates and the scope of accreditation.
How do I send a standard in
For calibration at RADIAN, request an RMA first. Request an RMA online, ship the standard with the RMA number, and it comes back with its calibration report. On-site calibration is also available and does not need an RMA.
What if my standard needs repair
Repair is not part of this service. For RADIAN-made standards, RADIAN Calibration Services include repair and upgrades with temperature testing. If you are considering a new standard, see the RADIAN RX-10, RX-11, and RX-15, RX-30, RX-31, and RX-33, or RD-22.
