Scheduled Calibration PT Schemes

The following information regarding the various Scheduled Calibration PT(ILC) Schemes is provided so that laboratories can adequately plan for their current and future PT needs .

It is our intention that these plans will be conducted irrespective of the number of participants to ensure that calibration laboratories can rely on the information when conducting their own planning.

Please note the following:

  1. Prices do not include VAT.
  2. Courier costs are included in the prices for all South African based laboratories.
  3. Calibration laboratories based in all other countries are requested to contact the PT Administrator for delivery costs.
  4. Participants that wish to either collect the PT artefact from the NLA Offices or arrange for their preferred couriers need to advise the PT Administrator when placing their order.


Application Form

In order to register for any scheme please download the Calibration PT Application Form, complete and submit one form per scheme.
