REFCOM | Calibration Checks a Member Benefit

All 27 FSW Branches in The UK have been Officially Approved by REFCOM to carry out a calibration check on digital scales used in the RAC industry, and it’s FREE.
FSW do not calibrate or re-calibrate your scales but simply check to see if they are within the tolerances set out by REFCOM to comply with their audit criteria.
Each FSW branch now stocks a set 3 calibrated weights - 1kg, 5kg and 20kg.
Each branch has own its own certificate of calibration for the 3 weights from our weights supplier.
FSW staff simply places the 1kg weight on your scales and if it’s within the tolerance limit of +/- 20grams it passes, they repeat this test with the 5 and 20kg weights. If the scales falls within the
tolerances for ALL three weights it passes, if not, it fails.
After the calibration check FSW issue each customer a copy of the calibration check certificate via email for them to keep on record should REFCOM carry out an audit and request a copy of your
scales calibration check sheet.
REFCOM advise this calibration check should be carried out annually.
