Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd, part of Bureau Veritas, a world leader in laboratory testing, inspection and certification services, with 1,600 offices and laboratories around the globe, announced that its state-of-the-art laboratory recently launched a range of calibration services, with the aim of providing unparalleled accuracy and high precision. 


The laboratory is located at No: 270, Dehiwala Road, Bellanwila. 


This will enable both local and global brands across diverse industry sectors access to internationally renowned and trusted calibration services, one which Sri Lanka has been lacking ever since. Its calibration parameters are accredited by the Sri Lanka Accreditation Board (SLAB), under ISO 17025:2017 and focuses on three main areas, namely dimensional metrology, mass and volumetric metrology and temperature metrology.


The scope includes calibration of calipers, external micrometers, circular sample cutters, steel rulers, dial gauges, thickness gauges, crock meters, balances, weights, glassware, piston operated pipettes, refractometers, hydrometers, pH meters, thermometers, cold refrigerated storages, ovens, incubators, water baths, furnaces and RPM of rotors among many others.  


“We are thrilled to expand our services to now include calibration. This much anticipated and timely initiative not only fills a crucial gap in the market but also provides brands and organisations access to internationally trusted calibration services that are tested and proven time and again,” said General Manager Harsha Wanasinghe.
The high precision results through qualified technical leads and reputed class-one equipment at Bureau Veritas in Sri Lanka assures one the utmost quality, speed and flexibility. Calibration of equipment is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of measurements, as it ensures that the instrument’s readings align with established standards. Over time, factors such as wear, environmental conditions and usage can lead to deviations in instrument performance. 
Bureau Veritas helps its clients improve their performance by offering services and innovative solutions in order to ensure that their assets, products, infrastructure and processes meet standards and regulations in terms of quality, health and safety, environmental protection and social responsibility. 
Senior Manager Business Development Sidath Wimalananda added, “Calibration services are a proactive and preventive measure that helps brands maintain the highest standards of accuracy, compliance and quality across their operations, which in turn contributes to their overall efficiency, stakeholder value and brand credibility and we aim to be an integral part of their journey.”
