Why Calibrate?

The successful operation of any process depends on the accuracy of each instrument in the control loop. It is essential that sensors in a system are properly calibrated for the entire loop perform reliably. This requires suitable calibration methods to be used, trained personnel, and metrological traceability being maintained. Choosing the right calibration laboratory can be as important for lifetime accuracy and reliability of an instrument as selecting the right equipment in the first place.

Accredited calibration helps you objectively understand an instrument’s performance, while giving you peace of mind that the results can be trusted.

Zedflo’s NATA accredited services include:

  • A calibration certificate, bearing the NATA emblem
  • Reporting of results, both prior to and following adjustment if required
  • Free instrument adjustment to improve performance where possible
  • Method selection and statement of compliance following strict criteria

More Info On Installation Tester Calibration

Detailed NATA Installation Tester Calibration Services

An installation tester, often referred to as a multifunction tester, is a comprehensive instrument used by electricians and technicians to assess the safety and integrity of electrical installations in various settings.

Calibration is necessary to provide you with peace of mind that your equipment is performing optimally and to safeguard electrical workers.

We have a few options you can choose from:


Complete one of the options from ‘How to organize a calibration?’

You can send us your instrument, or drop it into us during business hours

If urgent, let us know and we can offer an expedited service for an additional fee


Once the instrument arrives we will send you a formal quotation for your approval. (or seek approval in person)

You can contact us at any time for a status update


After your approval we will perform the quoted works.

Standard turn around is 1 week.

This will vary with work loads but we are often faster than that, calibrations are typically worked on in order of receival/approval


When completed we will send you an invoice for payment.

If you are on a ‘30 day trade account’ then we will process as per your PO or agreement.


After payment is cleared (or PO is processed for account customers), we will inform you that the goods can be collected, or if you have opted for shipping we will typically dispatch same or next business day.

You can also pay in store at time of collection.

Normal business hours

Monday to Friday, 8am to 4:30pm

We are closed on public holidays

Accepted payment methods
  • Direct bank transfer
  • Card payment over the phone (Mastercard & Visa only)
  • Eftpos payment in store (Mastercard & Visa only)

We typically have a standardized pricing structure for calibrations

  • Most of the time we can provide a quote/estimate even without seeing the instrument in person.
  • Some instruments may require an inspection prior to formally quoting
  • Be aware a quote is only an estimate, the quote may need a variance after we have inspected or even begun the calibration procedure, for example if we find damage or faults with the instrument that were not expected and not within the initial scope of the job.
  • We will contact you with a revised quote before proceeding further where necessary.

We have a minimum fee of $80 +GST, this applies as a minimum inspection fee and also a minimum calibration attempt fee for any instrument processed through our facility.

  • Instruments that fail a calibration are generally still chargeable up to the full quoted price, we may at our discretion charge a lesser fee depending how much time and effort was spent working on the instrument.
  • For failed instruments if possible we may be able to offer a repair or replacement
  • Some instruments may carry a larger minimum fee, for example in cases where we need to send the instrument to a 3rd party for assessment, in these cases before moving forward we will quote an elevated minimum fee to cover the associated freight costs and 3rd party assessment fees.

Typical internal flow of a calibration

Typically, the whole calibration process is completed within 1 week.

  • This does vary and depends on various factors, but more often than not we are actually quicker.
  • Your instrument will go through various stages during a typical calibration, we are efficient at moving it between various stages in the process but sometimes delays can happen, we will inform you if we expect any kind of delay.
  • Some calibrations may be sent to a 3rd party partner or supplier, in which case they will carry a longer than our standard turnaround time. We do, however, strive to provide the very best and accurate estimate of turnaround time at time of quoting.

For expedited ‘same day’ or ‘next day’ service, Zedflo is the best calibration service to look to!

We are always busy and do have a constant stream of work in our laboratory, instruments are usually worked on in the order they are received, and then in order of confirmed approval to proceed with quote, but for a fee your instrument can jump the queue when you require a fast turn around.

The fee will vary, and is subject to availability, but as a typical guide:

  • Next business day turn around add 30% to the normal fee
  • Same day (next on bench) turn around add 50% to the normal fee

Turn around:

We know rapid turn around is important, we endeavour to repair or calibrate your equipment as quickly as possible, we advise a typical lead time of 7 days but we can often turn around calibrations next business day depending on our work load.

Other Calibrations:

We can calibrate various other instruments too, it doesn’t have to be Metrel or Additel – below is a current list of products we are capable of calibrating, if you have something not on this list, please make an enquiry.

Continuity Testing

Checks the continuous electrical paths in a circuit, ensuring that connections are secure and there are no breaks in the wiring that can lead to hazards such as electrical shocks or fires.

Insulation Resistance Testing

Measures the resistance of electrical insulation to prevent current from leaking to unintended paths, which can cause electric shocks or damage to electrical appliances.

RCD Testing

Verifies the functionality of RCDs, which are designed to prevent electric shock by rapidly disconnecting the electrical supply when a fault is detected

Earth Ground Testing

Assesses the earth grounding system’s effectiveness, ensuring that in the case of a fault, the stray currents will have a low-resistance path to the earth, reducing the risk of electric shock.

Ensuring Accuracy and Reliability of Measurements

The primary purpose of calibration is to ensure that installation testers produce accurate and consistent measurements.

The accuracy of these devices can diminish over time due to regular use, environmental factors, and component aging.

Calibration adjusts the instrument to bring its measurements within acceptable limits, ensuring that it provides reliable data.

Compliance with Australian Standards

Electrical installations are subject to stringent regulatory standards that dictate safety and performance requirements. Calibration ensures that installation testers comply with these standards.

Regular calibration certifies that the tests conducted with these instruments are valid and recognised by regulatory bodies, avoiding legal and safety implications.

Extending Equipment Life and Ensuring Safety

Calibration extends the life of installation testers by identifying potential issues before they lead to instrument failure.

It ensures that the tester operates efficiently, preventing inaccurate readings that could result in unsafe electrical installations.

Cost-Effectiveness

Ensuring installation testers function correctly helps avoid the costs associated with non-compliance, equipment failures, and accidents arising from inaccurate measurements.

All services including repairs and calibrations are subject to our standard terms and conditions

Frequently Asked Questions About Installation Tester Calibration

The calibration frequency can depend on several factors, including the manufacturer’s specifications, the intensity of use, and the working environment.

Generally, installation testers should be calibrated annually, although devices used in harsh conditions or heavy use might require more frequent calibration.

No. Calibration adjusts the measurement capability of the tester to ensure it is accurate and meets standard specifications.

A repair involves fixing a fault or malfunction in the device. Repairs are recommended or required if a fault is identified during calibration.
