German Calibration Service (DKD)

The German Calibration Service (DKD) was founded in 1977 as a joint effort of government, industry and national standards authorities (PTB – German Institute of Physics and Metrology), to verify measuring equipment used in industrial and research laboratories and testing institutions. It supplements the existing consumer protection verification system.

DKD-Kalibrierlabor

The calibration laboratory for volumetric instruments opened by BRAND in 1998 has been accredited by the accreditation body of the DKD according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17 025. Our calibration laboratory is authorized to issue DKD Calibration Certificates (in several languages) for the volumetric instruments listed on the right.
