OXTS expands calibration services with ISO 17025 Speed Calibration

Calibrations are not a new focus area for us, having offered our ISO 17025 IMU calibration and adjustment service for many years, a service which not only verifies that devices meet calibration standards but also improves their performance through fine adjustments. This ensures our customers benefit from IMUs that are not only compliant but also optimised for the highest quality performance.

The addition of ISO 17025 speed calibration is a natural extension of this commitment to accuracy and reliability. ISO 17025 is an internationally recognised standard for testing and calibration laboratories, setting stringent requirements for technical competence and traceability. By offering calibration under this standard, OXTS provides its customers with assurance that their speed measurements are not only accurate, but also validated to the highest global standards.

Why is an ISO 17025 speed calibration important?

For many customers, particularly those involved in New Car Assessment Programme (NCAP) testing and other regulated test regimes, ISO 17025 accreditation is a necessity. Regulatory bodies, certification organisations, and vehicle manufacturers require evidence that test results are obtained using properly calibrated equipment in accredited laboratories. Without it, test data may be called into question, undermining the credibility of an entire testing programme.

By offering ISO 17025 calibration in-house, OXTS ensures that customers can demonstrate that their equipment is accurate and their testing processes are competent. For NCAP testing specifically, where the smallest margin of error can influence vehicle safety ratings, this level of assurance is critical.

Who benefits the most?

This service is essential for automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, test houses, and proving grounds conducting validation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous vehicle trials, or regulatory testing. These organisations rely on precise, reliable data to inform design decisions, validate safety features, and demonstrate compliance. With ISO 17025 calibration, they can show regulators, partners, and customers that their testing methodologies are backed by accredited precision.

Strengthening the OXTS offering

By combining its UKAS accredited IMU and speed calibrations, OXTS now offers a comprehensive solution that addresses both performance optimisation and regulatory compliance. This dual approach sets OXTS apart in the market, offering customers confidence that their devices are delivering the very best performance while also meeting the strictest global standards.

At OXTS we will continue to commit ourselves to delivering solutions and services that work for our automotive customers. As testing becomes more complex and regulatory scrutiny increases, we will continue to deliver not just technology, but also the assurances that come with compliance to internationally recognised standards.
