Calibration – to ensure that what you measure is correct
Accurate measurements form the basis of quality, safety and profitability. If a measuring instrument displays errors unbeknownst to anyone, this can lead to faulty products, costly complaints and, in the worst case, safety risks. At the same time, quality systems and regulations require traceable and documented calibrations. The challenge lies in keeping track of a large number of measuring instruments and ensuring they function correctly.
RISE calibrates measuring instruments in many different areas, including force, temperature, gas flow and optical properties. As Sweden's national metrology institute and host of its national measurement laboratories, RISE offers accredited calibrations and advanced services for higher measurement uncertainty requirements.
Calibrations can be performed in the laboratory or on-site at the customer's premises using mobile equipment. In addition to calibration, RISE independently inspects and verifies scales, fuel meters, and charging stations. As a customer, you have access to a free digital measuring instrument register providing a complete overview of calibration status and history.

How a metre became a metre
Today, measuring a metre is hardly a major achievement; historically, however, arriving at exactly how long a metre should be has engaged the intellects of philosophers, clergymen and scientists. RISE is designated as Sweden’s National Metrology Centre for the International System of Units (SI) and as such is home to the Swedish standard metre.
