DAkkS Calibration Materials Testing Machine
Calibration of universal testing machine
Calibration of strain gauges
Calibration of hardness tester
Calibration pendulum impact mechanism
We calibrate your material testing machine – all manufacturers and types.
Calibration is one of our strengths: >4000 DAkkS calibrations / year
Tensile testing machine, hardness tester, Vickers, Brinell, Rockwell, pendulum impact tester , extensometer
We offer professional calibration with minimal downtime, at affordable prices, and including minor maintenance, repair, and adjustment work. We have been calibrating since 1970 / as a DAkkS-certified calibration service/DAkkS-certified calibration laboratory (formerly DKD) since 1996!
- Our company was approved by the PTB in 1996 as a DKD service for the calibration of material testing machines accredited
- As part of the regular ISO 17025 audits (2011), this was converted into a DAkkS accreditation. In May 2012, we received the official DAkkS – Accreditation Certificate and from that point on were able to offer the calibration of material testing machines as a DAkkS-accredited laboratory.
- In April 2016, we successfully completed the 5-year re-audit of our DAkkS accreditation for materials testing machines. The auditor unofficially stated: "One of the most professional DAkkS laboratories for materials testing machines that we have audited."
- At the end of May 2020, another DAkkS audit was carried out based on the revised ISO 17025. Here, too, the very high level of competence was (unofficially) recognized.
We calibrate approximately 4.000 materials testing machines annually . Our high-quality equipment enables us to perform DAkkS calibrations efficiently and in accordance with standards. We would be pleased to provide you with a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your specific needs. Please send us a brief list of your materials testing machines.
Material testing machines – DAkkS calibrations: Like clockwork …
... materials testing machines must work with high precision and display accuracy. To ensure this, we recommend regular calibration of your materials testing machines. This should be carried out by an accredited DAkkS calibration center. Only a company accredited according to ISO17025 can demonstrate the relevant expertise and ensure that the transfer standards used are traceable to the national metrological standards.

Our range of DAkkS calibration services
Some providers list the pure calibration costs but omit the additional costs and refer to the fine print: "Travel expenses and travel time will be billed according to actual costs incurred, based on the currently applicable rates." This sounds binding and fair. Your purchasing department is therefore comparing our "all-inclusive price" with the "net calibration prices" of the competition . In the end…
It can also happen that important measurement variables are not included in the calibration offer: For example, in the case of a tensile testing machine, in addition to checking the force, the length change sensor / strain gauge (if available) or, increasingly, the crosshead speed must also be calibrated.
DAkkS-accredited calibration service since 1996
First company without brand loyalty
SCHÜTZ+LICHT Prüftechnik GmbH was accredited by the PTB Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig in 1996 as the first manufacturer-independent company for the calibration of materials testing machines.
validity of the certificate
Unlike certification according to ISO 9000 ff, for example, there is no time limit for the certificate when accrediting according to ISO 17025. The accreditation is valid indefinitely. It is therefore not sensible to send/request a "new" accreditation certificate every year. A copy of the certificate is also available for download: Please click on the certificate or on the link below.
