BALANCING STAND CERTIFICATIONS

When we perform a certification on your stand, we are not only checking the instrument’s calibration, but we are also performing several other tests that ensure that the balancing stand itself is also capable of balancing. If you are only sending your instrument in to the factory for a calibration it does not mean that the system, which includes both the instrument and the stand itself, are in optimal working order. See below for a description of the tests performed during our certification process.
