Located in Gaithersburg, MD, our calibration laboratory—accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ANSI Z540-1, and Z540.3 standards—adheres to strict quality protocols.

Each calibration is accompanied by a certificate that confirms compliance with the rigorous standards set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Serving El Paso, TX
El Paso anchors far West Texas, spreading west from the Franklin Mountains across El Paso County to the Rio Grande and the New Mexico line. Fort Bliss and Biggs Army Airfield, one of the U.S. Army's largest installations, sit alongside the University of Texas at El Paso, a growing defense-electronics and precision-manufacturing base, cross-border trade with Ciudad Juarez, and a large healthcare and utility sector led by El Paso Electric. Tra-Cal supports these operations with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration of test, measurement, and laboratory equipment.
Because El Paso sits well beyond our Mid-Atlantic pickup and delivery routes, most customers there use our prepaid ship-in program, which returns fully calibrated instruments with a documented five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments at your facility. Each calibration is performed against documented procedures, traced through NIST, and accompanied by an audit-ready certificate that supports AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality systems.
