Why Choose Dickson’s Calibration Services?

Correctly calibrated sensors are essential to remaining compliant and protecting your assets. Due to natural wear and tear, sensors lose their pinpoint accuracy over time. With over 100  years of experience, we have established standard operating procedures (SOPs) in place to ensure a repeatable and reproducible process. Dickson’s NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratory (OCEASOFT laboratory) gives you absolute peace of mind that your instrument is calibrated properly.

NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 and NIST-Traceable Calibration, but also...

Dickson’s sensors are calibrated by highly trained calibration technicians compliantly with classics, COFRAC’s NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard or National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) traceable standards. This ensures our calibration services have the highest possible chain of compliance and that your sensors accurately reflect your environment.

Dickson Smart-Sensors™

A plug-and-play calibration solution, our Smart-Sensor™ technology means zero downtime when it comes to recalibration. Complete calibration information is contained directly in the sensor, so all you have to do is replace the old sensor without powering down or unplugging your device.

NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 COFRAC accredited

Dickson’s NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 COFRAC accredited lab (OCEASOFT) means accurate calibration. COFRAC is the only national body designated and recognized by France for issuing accreditations.

Calibration options

The following calibration options are available, depending on your products and  requirements:
  • ISO/CEI 17025 COFRAC-certified calibration: COFRAC certification by the OCEASOFT-accredited laboratory for clients with specific quality system requirements
  • OCEASOFT-certified calibration:  Dickson calibration using a COFRAC-certified reference chain
  • NIST-traceable calibration: Dickson calibration using a NIST-certified reference chain

COFRAC and Dickson calibration certificates

Our sensors are calibrated according to your specifications at Dickson's laboratory (Oceasoft) before delivery. Sensors are accompanied by either a COFRAC certificate or a Dickson laboratory certificate.
COFRAC certificates are only provided in paper format. For Cobalt sensors designed to monitor temperature and other physical parameters, OCEASOFT laboratory and NIST-traceable certificates can be downloaded directly from within our solutions. Calibration certificates contain specific correction coefficients to fine-tune accuracy in our software and on the device display.

Sensor exchange service for easy recalibration

External digital temperature sensors and dual temperature/humidity sensors in the Cobalt range can be recalibrated conveniently by exchanging sensors. With this service, Dickson sends you a new sensor and you simply return your old sensor after handling the exchange on-site. This avoids down-time and traceability interruptions.
Pt100 sensors are generally recalibrated at your site by a qualified technician. Dickson Smart Sensors may be exchanged directly Smart Sensors contain all the calibration correction coefficients , which makes exchanging even easier. Dickson can also calculate sensor drift to ensure sensor performance over time.

Step by Step

How Our Calibration Services Works

1

We place the sensor and a reference standard in a stable environment.

Stable environments are essential to calibrations. We can’t assume any temperature, humidity, CO2, or other value without the use of a standard reference probe and specialized equipment to create a confined, stable environment.

2

If there are any differences, we give you the parameters to align with the standard reference probe.

After comparison is made across a standard or custom range of setpoint values, we observe how far off your sensor was from our standard. We then calculate correction coefficients to adjust readings to align with the standard measurement.

3

We perform adjustment if needed and supply you with an NF EN ISO/IEC 17025, NIST- traceable, or Dickson laboratory certificate.

If your sensor isn’t reading temperature, humidity, or other values accurately, we adjust it. Adjustments for Smart-Sensors are stored directly in the sensor’s on-board memory. We provide you with a calibration certificate for each calibrated sensor.
