Inquiries concerning calibrations

Clients address their inquiry (for example via the e-mail address Opens local program for sending emailCaliGray(at)ptb.de) to the contact person listed on the right-hand side of this page. The inquiry must include the order form for Initiates file downloadcalibrations. In response information will be provided on the time and estimated costs of the calibration and who should be contacted for further steps.

Procedure after acceptance of the calibration order
Once the order has been placed the customer will receive a confirmation and he should send the equipment to the person in charge at PTB, where the equipment will be calibrated in compliance with the specifications of the order. After calibration, the dosemeter will be returned to the customer together with a calibration certificate which states the calibration factor and its uncertainty as well as the reference and calibration conditions.
