We offer a broad range of GxP Services
Maintenance contract
Periodic maintenance is the key to extending the life of a monitoring system and minimizing malfunctions. Customers with a maintenance contract are always assured of a properly functioning system. Our product specialist visits punctually every year to check the proper functioning of the system. Moreover, batteries all are replaced at your request, so that your system continues to work smoothly.
Yearly calibration
Calibration is crucial to ensure the accuracy of the measuring instruments. Over time, sensors can show deviations due to usage, environmental factors or aging. Testo can offer calibrations at ISO9001 & ISO17025 level. We also offer these calibrations onsite because we realize that you cannot miss measured values.

Our helpdesk packages guarantee you the support you need in the daily management and follow-up of your monitoring system. You can contact our specialists directly via our helpdesk.
Choosing between ISO9001 and ISO17025 calibration
Choosing between ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 17025 for the calibration of a temperature monitoring system depends on various factors, including the purpose of the calibration, regulatory requirements, and the level of accuracy and traceability needed. Here’s a breakdown to help you make the decision:
ISO 9001 Calibration
Overview:
- ISO 9001 is a quality management system standard that sets out criteria for an organization to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
- It provides a broad framework for quality management that can be applied to various processes, but it does not specifically focus on testing and calibration.
When to Choose ISO 9001 Calibration:
- General Quality Assurance: If the calibration is part of a broader quality management system and aimed primarily at documentation and quality control.
- Internal Processes: If the calibration is intended for internal use where compliance with regulations or stringent accuracy is not critical.
- Less Critical Measurement: For processes where minor variances in temperature measurements do not have significant implications for product quality or safety.
- Simpler Systems: When your organization does not require extensive testing procedures or the technical competence that ISO 17025 entails.
ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration
Overview:
- ISO/IEC 17025 is specifically designed for testing and calibration laboratories. It includes requirements for the competence of laboratories to perform testing and calibration, including temperature measurements.
- It ensures rigorous technical and quality standards and is focused on traceability, accuracy, and metrological soundness.
When to Choose ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration:
- Regulatory Compliance: If your industry is regulated (e.g., pharmaceuticals, food safety, medical devices) where compliance with national or international standards is mandatory.
- High Accuracy Required: When high accuracy and precision are critical, and your measurement results have significant implications for product quality or safety.
- Traceability: If your calibration needs to be traceable to national or international standards (NIST, SI units).
- Customer Requirements: If customers require verification of your calibration processes and documentation to ensure that their products meet specific standards.
- Competence Demonstration: When you need to demonstrate technical competence in calibration processes, particularly if performing calibrations as a service for other organizations.
Summary
In summary, choose ISO 9001 when your primary goal is to maintain a quality management system with less stringent calibration needs. Opt for ISO/IEC 17025 if you require rigorous, accurate calibration with traceability and adherence to specific technical standards, especially for regulated industries or processes where precision is critical.
