Temperature point certification charge on a per-logger basis.
(download sample certificate - PDF)
This service provides testing and certification of Onset temperature loggers' accuracy using standards traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST). For each logger certified, a certificate is provided showing the logger's temperature accuracy versus a NIST traceable standard. Certification is available for all standard Onset temperature loggers, including both new logger purchases and loggers already owned.
Temperature points used for certification are user-selected and can be specified in 1°C increments from -30°C to +120°C. The actual points used for certification will be ±0.25°C. Certification is also available for multi-channel loggers however only for the temperature channels.
Flexible Ordering
Onset's NIST certification service allows you to choose the temperature points to be tested. Temperature points chosen must be within the operating temperature range of the logger(s). For each temperature logger to be certified, order the following:
- Order one NIST Traceable Setup (NIST-SETUP).
- Multiply the number of temperature points times the number of channels on the logger to be certified, and order this many NIST-TEMP-POINTS.
For example, an order for a 3-point NIST certification for a HOBO Temp at -10°C, +20°C, and +60°C, would include:
- 1 x NIST-SETUP set-up charge @ $35
- 3 x NIST-TEMP-POINT (for 3 points times 1 channel) @ $35 each = $105
- Total Cost: $140
Certifying Loggers You Already Own
NIST traceable certification is also available for Onset temperature loggers you already own at the same price as for new loggers. Before returning a logger for certification, please contact Onset's Customer Service Department for a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Onset can only accept loggers that have a valid RMA number.
Certification of Compliance Also Available
This certification states that the individual logger is in compliance with its specification as described in its product manual and has passed all applicable test.
