In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services in East Camden, AR
With over 35 years of experience, our technicians have provided precise calibration, instrument repair, and metrology database management to a diverse range of industries across the East Camden area.
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. We perform all calibrations and repairs in line with manufacturer specifications to ensure your measurement tools remain reliable, repeatable, and audit-ready. 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 East Camden, AR
East Camden sits in Ouachita County in south Arkansas, roughly 100 road miles south of Little Rock, where US 79, US 278, Arkansas 7, and Arkansas 274 meet, sharing the 71701 ZIP code with neighboring Camden. The former Shumaker Naval Ammunition Depot became Highland Industrial Park, still the county's center of defense manufacturing, with Lockheed Martin Camden Operations, L3Harris solid rocket motor production, a Raytheon and Rafael air defense missile plant opened in 2025, and General Dynamics. SAU Tech trains the local workforce.
Because East Camden lies outside our Mid-Atlantic pickup radius, we serve Ouachita County and Highland Industrial Park tenants two ways: prepaid ship-in calibration with a typical five-business-day turnaround, and onsite calibration appointments. Our ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration is NIST-traceable, with audit-ready certificates supporting AS9100, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA 21 CFR Part 820.

Standard turnaround is approximately five business days from receipt, and asset records are retained with automated due-date notifications.
Onsite Calibration:

Calibration is performed in a controlled environment at your site on a scheduled appointment, with the same accreditation, NIST traceability, and documentation as in-lab service.
