Metrology is integral part of Istituto Giordano history; right from the beginning it has been guaranteed to tests made in Istituto laboratories, the
metrological reliability of measures through the traceability to national samples of SI unities.
The first Calibration Certificate approved from Primary metrological Istituto has been issued in 1983, even before of Calibration National Service Institution in 1991.
Today Istituto Giordano makes available of its clientele its experience giving a
complete selection of services in metrological field.
Metrology laboratories are two:- One at the central seat of Bellaria, Rimini
- The other one at the separate seat of Pomezia, Rome
ACCREDIA Calibration centre lat.020
For every kind of information related to accredited fields and approximation, please look at Accreditation tables on ACCREDIA site.
The Calibration Certificates accredited ACCREDIA are approved and accepted in national, European and international field, by rule of specific agreements of mutual identification of EA ( European co-operation for Accreditation) and of ILAC ( International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation), approved by ACCREDIA and Accreditation Bodies of other Countries.

Metrologic laboratory and moving laboratory of calibration
Metrologic Laboratory of Istituto Giordano executes Calibration both at our seats ( Bellaria and Pomezia) and in situ directly on the system or inside of the building owner company, giving for every instrument, a
Calibration Report in which the metrologic traceability to International System (IS) is obtained thanks to the use of samples that are certificated by Centre/ Laboratories accredited according to ISO 9001 regulation.
Interventions will be planned and agreed in order to reduce eventual down times or temporary suspensions of the productive process.
The Laboratory executes the calibration for the following dimensions and instruments:
Dimension | Type |

Instrumentation park management
Istituto Giordano provides management systems of the entire instrumentations park in use to the applicant company, in order to offer a complete service. This service is structured by the following actions:
- Identification of sensitive measurement processes and instrumentations that have to be subjected to calibration tests or periodic check;
- Determination of the measure uncertainty and maximum errors allowed for each measure instrument subjected to calibration;
- ACCREDIA calibration of reference samples at disposal of the company or the laboratory, directly concerning the dimension in which Istituto Giordano is accredited,
- Calibration with traceability to ACCREDIA samples of all the measure instruments that are secondary or/and of the process. For every dimension and type of instruments in which the calibration is applied, it will be directly realized in the use place in agreement with the productive needs of the company;
- Acceptability check of instruments subjected to calibration based on specific standards and noticed metrological characteristics.
Calibration for certified companies according to F-GAS law
With the introduction of the 303/2008/CE regulation, companies which work in the sector of greenhouse effect fluorinated gas, have the need of periodically check of measure instruments used in this field. The Metrological Laboratory of Istituto Giordano offers a service for calibration of every type of instruments that are used for those activities:
- Electronic scales
- Leak detector
- Manometric group
- Vacuometer
- Thermometer
- Amperometric piers
- Dynamometric keys
- Supply of measure instruments : We can provide sample or work instruments for every dimension of interest, complete of ACCREDIA Calibration Certificate or other recognized bodies in the EA field for every dimension of interest.
- Design of Calibration Procedure and formation: We can offer Calibration Procedure for every type of need connected to the calibration of secondary instruments, for every type of instrument that is part of dimension of competence. Moreover, Istituto Giordano organizes formation courses for the technical personnel that is operator of the measure instrumentation calibration and within the company to which it belongs, with the release of a frequency certificate.
