What is Calibration Consultancy Insurance?

Calibration insurance gives coverage to consultants who ensure the accuracy and precision of measurement instruments used across manufacturing, engineering and industrial facilities. It protects against claims due to errors or negligence during calibration testing and reporting.

Typical services include:

  • On-site inspection of gauges, metres, sensors
  • Precision alignment and adjustment
  • Ensuring traceability of measurements
  • Issuing calibration certificates

However, flawed calibration can lead to products failing quality standards, resulting in substantial loss and rework costs for companies. This insurance protects consultants, covering legal fees and compensation pay-outs.

Why Calibration Consultants Need Liability Insurance:

As a calibration professional visiting factories and working around heavy machinery, accidents can easily occur, leading to expensive claims – especially if an error you make causes issues down the production line.

Without adequate insurance, just one claim against you could mean financial disaster. Our public liability policies give you complete peace of mind that any claims will be handled by your insurer.

What Our Calibration Consultancy Insurance Covers:

Our policies provide protection against:

  • Public Liability – Covers injury or property damage caused while working on-site. This offers protection if you damage equipment at a factory or cause an injury due to negligence.
  • Professional Indemnity (optional) – Provides cover if flawed calibration leads to client rework and financial loss. This shields against claims if your inaccurate reporting means products fail specifications.
  • Legal Expenses – Pays your legal costs for certain civil claims made against you.
  • Business Equipment Cover (optional) – Replaces items lost, stolen or damaged during your work. It also covers the cost to repair and replace calibration tools.

FAQs

Calibration Consultancy Insurance FAQs

Calibration errors can lead to faulty manufacturing and huge rework costs, making consultants vulnerable to substantial negligence claims from companies. Policies cover resulting financial losses when measurement mistakes lead to production issues.

We cover typical services like on-site gauge/meter calibration, sensor adjustment and certification of instrumentation precision/accuracy.

Yes, our optional professional indemnity insurance covers scenarios where inaccurate calibration reporting leads to products manufactured outside of specifications, necessitating scrapping of goods or extensive reworking. This shields against financial loss claims from affected clients.

Absolutely. Our public liability coverage would handle the cost to replace instrumentation belonging to a client that gets damaged through negligence. For example, if you  accidentally drop and break a gauge during testing.

Typical triggers we see are:

  • Issuing incorrect calibration certificates, leading to faulty production runs
  • Damage to delicate equipment due to mishandling
  • Inaccurate sensor alignment, meaning products fail specifications
  • Errors tracing measurements against standards
