Verification of measuring equipment consists in establishing a certificate attesting the quality of the inspected devices for each piece of equipment in accordance with standards. The procedure relates to measuring equipment with digital or analogue type indicators on all welding power sources.

We will take charge of verifying devices such as:

  • Ammeters
  • Voltmeters
  • Tachometers
  • Flowmeters

All our measuring equipment is regularly calibrated and connected to the national test laboratory and has COFRAC accreditation.

The certificates for the equipment are available and can be found in our verification report submission depending on the types of equipment inspected. Our service is carried out in strict compliance with standards NFX 07.011 and NF EN ISO 10012.
