In-Lab & Onsite Calibration Services for Seattle, WA

Yes. Tra-Cal supports Seattle and the Puget Sound through three intake paths: scheduled pickup and return delivery, prepaid overnight ship-in service to our Maryland laboratory, and onsite calibration appointments across Greater Seattle, the Eastside, and South Sound. The same ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, NIST-traceable standards, and certificate format apply regardless of intake method.

Yes. Tra-Cal is ANAB-accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Our scope of accreditation is publicly searchable on the ANAB directory and covers the parameters listed on our scope page. Each calibration certificate references the accreditation and the laboratory standards used.

Standard turnaround is approximately 5 business days from receipt at our Maryland lab. Expedited service is available on request for time-critical instruments. We can also coordinate scheduled rotations so that aerospace, biotech, and tech teams in the Puget Sound are not waiting on a single instrument.

Yes. All calibrations are traceable to the International System of Units (SI) through NIST or other recognized National Metrology Institutes. Certificates include as-found and as-left data, environmental conditions, standards used, measurement uncertainty where applicable, and the technician and reviewer signatures required for AS9100, IATF 16949, ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and FDA-regulated audits.

Tra-Cal supports Boeing Commercial Airplanes and the deep aerospace supplier base concentrated in Everett, Renton, and Auburn, the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Joint Base Lewis-McChord, the Eastside tech and cloud cluster anchored by Microsoft and Amazon Web Services, the biotech and life sciences corridor including Seagen, Bristol Myers Squibb, the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and the University of Washington research enterprise, plus medical device and clean energy supplier networks across the region.

Yes. Onsite calibration is available for fixed assets, large inventories, and instruments that should not be transported, including aerospace clean-area, shipyard, and biotech cleanroom equipment. Our regional metrologists schedule appointments through Greater Seattle and along the I-5, I-405, and I-90 corridors, performing calibration in a controlled environment at your facility with full documentation.

Power down each instrument, include all standard accessories required for calibration, note any known issues or specific tolerance requirements on the work order, and pack in original cases or rigid containers with appropriate cushioning. We provide a prepaid overnight shipping label from the Seattle area to our Maryland laboratory and confirm receipt the morning after pickup.

Yes. Tra-Cal maintains your asset records, due dates, and calibration history, and pushes proactive recall notices ahead of expiration so that critical instruments at your Seattle, Everett, Redmond, or Tacoma sites are not out of tolerance during an audit. Customer portal access is available on request.
