GMP calibration and metrology management

We calibrate and manage the critical instrumentation of your plants in regulated environments, ensuring traceability, data integrity compliance and operational continuity.

What we do

  • Calibration of process instruments (pressure, temperature, flow, humidity)
  • Management of calibration schedules with the Dimacs platform
  • Structured handling of Out of Tolerance (OOT) events and consequent actions
  • Issuance and archiving of calibration certificates
  • Management of reference instrumentation with metrological traceability

The Eurosystem difference

We don't manage calibration on Excel sheets: we use Dimacs, our proprietary platform that keeps over 11,000 instruments under control. Add to that a presence in regulated sites that dates back to 1990.

Frequently asked questions

GMP calibration and metrology management: answers to the most common questions

What metrology, maintenance and Quality Assurance managers ask before entrusting the calibration of a pharmaceutical site's instruments.

What is a calibration provider for GMP laboratory and production instruments?

A GMP provider does more than calibrate: it manages schedules, certificates, traceability and Out of Tolerance events with an audit trail. Eurosystem manages the metrology of more than 11,000 instruments in pharmaceutical sites with its proprietary Dimacs platform, calibrates on site and in the lab, and guarantees traceability with standards calibrated at ACCREDIA-accredited laboratories.

How are thermometers and temperature probes calibrated in pharmaceutical production?

By comparison with a traceable reference probe in a thermostatic bath or dry-block, at points covering the real operating range (for example 2-8 °C for cold rooms, 121 °C for autoclaves). The result, with declared uncertainty and acceptance criterion, feeds the certificate and the schedule; an out-of-tolerance result triggers the batch impact assessment.

Do you need an ACCREDIA-accredited calibration centre for pharma?

You need ACCREDIA traceability of the reference standards, not an accredited certificate for every field instrument. Reference standards are calibrated at LAT centres; plant instruments are calibrated by comparison with those standards, keeping the chain documented. Eurosystem is not a LAT centre: it is the partner managing the whole metrology system and guaranteeing its traceability.

How often must instruments be calibrated in GMP?

The interval is defined per instrument based on criticality, historical stability and manufacturer recommendations, and justified in writing. Typical intervals range from 6 to 12 months for critical instruments; reviewing historical data allows them to be extended or shortened with evidence.

What is on-site calibration and when is it worthwhile?

It is calibration performed in the plant with traceable portable standards. It pays off when removing the instrument means downtime or damage risk, and when it must be calibrated under real operating conditions. The result goes straight into the schedule and audit trail.

How are calibration certificates managed?

In Dimacs every certificate is linked to the instrument, the standard used and the intervention, with electronic signature and an Annex 11 compliant audit trail. During an inspection the certificate of any instrument is available in seconds, together with its history.
