We ask questions, record the details and take the time to understand how calibration fits into the bigger picture for each client. Sometimes that means expediting one essential tester to keep your job moving. Or it could mean coordinating hundreds of assets around multiple sites, schedules and quality requirements. Either way, our clients know who they are dealing with – and that they can pick up the phone when they need us.
Established in 1968, Northern Instruments & Calibration Services (NICS) specialises in the calibration and repair of test and measurement equipment. From our Hunter-based laboratory, we support businesses and industries ranging from transport, defence and aerospace to electrical contractors, engineering, and plumbing.
We provide more than calibration and repairs. We work to integrate our services into your business, aligning with your calibration requirements, quality processes and operational needs. By working as an extension of your team, we help reduce the time, pressure and administration that calibration compliance can demand. Backed by an ISO certified Quality Management System and a skilled, dedicated team, we provide dependable calibration services our clients can rely on year after year.
Confidence in your measurements starts with knowing how your equipment is performing. Regular calibration checks performance against defined requirements and provides the traceability and records needed to support your quality processes.
If equipment is found outside tolerance, calibration provides the information needed to understand and address the result. It also helps demonstrate to customers, auditors and your own team that the equipment you rely on is being appropriately monitored and controlled.
Your equipment is handled by experienced technicians working under our ISO certified Quality Management System, with reference to applicable Australian and international standards and manufacturers’ specifications.
We explain the results clearly and let you know directly if anything needs attention.
Calibration is essential, but keeping up with due dates, certificates, repairs and service histories takes time.
We help keep your equipment records and servicing organised, so you have the information you need when you need it.
We take the time to understand your equipment, quality requirements, timeframes and operational pressures.
We then coordinate servicing in a way that works with your processes – not as a disconnected step you have to wrestle into place.
Audit next week? Flying back out to site on Friday?
Priority turnaround is available for many services, and if we can get it done, we will. (Surcharges apply.)
Many of our clients have trusted NICS with their equipment for years.
Those relationships have been built through careful work, straight answers and taking responsibility for the service we provide.
As their equipment, businesses and requirements have changed, we have continued to listen, adapt and invest in the capabilities they need from us.
That is how NICS has worked since 1968 and how we intend to keep working.
