Objective

To deliver calibration and maintenance that is technically appropriate to the equipment, its application and the customer’s quality requirements – while reducing the management burden around the service.

NICS works collaboratively with customers to integrate calibration and maintenance around equipment availability, schedules and operational priorities – taking responsibility for our part and delivering a consistent, controlled and predictable service.

Why It Matters

Calibration must be technically sound and appropriate to the equipment’s application. But the calibration itself is only one part of keeping testing and measurement equipment and tooling ready for use.

Across multiple assets, locations and requirements, availability, turnaround, serviceability, documentation and access to specialist support all influence whether equipment can return to service when required. A technically correct calibration delivered through an unreliable or fragmented service pathway can still create operational friction.

NICS brings the technical capability to do the work properly – and takes responsibility for our part of the service that surrounds it.
