Regular calibration advised

Noise measurement specialist, Cirrus Research is advising owners of noise measurement equipment to ensure that their instruments are calibrated regularly by an approved laboratory.

This will help verify that the instruments are providing accurate measurements throughout the year.

It is vital that noise measurement instruments measure accurately, not only to meet standards, regulations and guidelines, but to clarify on an ongoing basis whether noise damage is occurring in the workplace or the environment.

Each time a piece of equipment is used it should automatically be calibrated using an acoustic calibrator (field calibration), both before and after each measurement. However, due to the precise nature of a measurement instrument it should be subject to routine factory verification to ensure that it continues to perform accurately and operate to its original specifications.

Cirrus Research provides calibration and repair services for the entire Cirrus noise measurement product range with fully trained engineers with many years experience in the industry making sure the products are as good as new.
