Calibration
Precision signed and sealed
“Accurate” measurement is of central importance – because faulty measurement values can have far-reaching economic consequences. Calibration, i.e., the determination and documentation of deviations of a measuring instrument, is performed worldwide by accredited laboratories.
DSM operates an accredited and monitored calibration laboratory. The accreditation was granted by the “Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS)” (the national accreditation body of the Federal Republic of Germany) according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018.
For many of our customers, this represents a real added value that saves time and costs: At our location in Aalen, we calibrate, adjust, and repair measuring systems and sensors in our quality-monitored laboratory – reliably, quickly, and across manufacturers.
Calibration and monitoring according to national standards is essential not only for new products but also for older DSM products as well as devices from other manufacturers.
In addition to DSM nutrunners, press-in units, and measuring transducers, we also calibrate devices from other brands.
The calibration certificates issued by DSM with the accreditation symbol document the traceability to the national standards of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Braunschweig.
DSM is accredited for the following quantities:
Torque
- Torque measurement systems, torque sensors acc. to DIN 51309:2022
- Torque wrench calibration devices acc. to DKD‑R 10–8:2020
Force (compressive force)
- Force measuring devices and load cells acc. to DIN EN ISO 376:2011
Direct voltage
Direct voltage ratio
Direct current strength

Recalibration
Companies with a quality management system are required, under applicable standards (e.g. ISO 9000 ff., IATF 16949, VDA …), to regularly inspect their measuring equipment and to document these inspections comprehensively.
At DSM, we meet the highest standards when calibrating your measuring equipment: using specially developed calibration setups and standard-compliant measuring procedures, our specialists calibrate your devices in the lab – precisely, reliably, and according to the latest testing methods.



Accredited by DAkkS
The „Deutsche Akkreditierungsstelle GmbH (DAkkS)“ (the national accreditation body of the Federal Republic of Germany) monitors compliance and maintenance with the highest quality standards.
As a signatory of the multilateral agreements of the European co-operation for Accreditation (EA) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), DAkkS ensures international recognition of calibration certificates.
Calibration certificates issued by DSM bearing the accreditation symbol are therefore valid and recognized worldwide.
