OTC exists, first and foremost, to provide a reliable and repeatable calibration service to a broad range of professional customers in the UK and the rest of the European Community. Within the UK, OTC is unique providing UKAS accredited calibrations on a wide range of fibre optic instruments. All measurements have direct traceability to National Standards held at NPL and our technicians are trained and experienced in meeting high standards. The UKAS principles and procedures are then used as the basis for all our standard traceable calibrations, giving our customers the assurance of best measurement quality. |

| Photometric/Radiometric Services | ||
|
OTC have been providing photometric and radiometric services since 1995. We are the only UK calibration house outside of NPL to offer UKAS certification for photometric and electronic and fibre optic measurements. Photometric calibrations are referenced to CIE Standard Illuminant A at 2856K for illuminance, luminance, reflectance and chromaticity measurements. Radiometric measurements can be made at wavelengths between 200nm and 1700nm. Thermopiles and pyroelectric sensors used for CW power can also be accommodated. Typical instruments covered include: |

| Calibration Service Offered | ||
OTC offers a 5 working day turnaround on all items received for calibration for which it has technical information available. OTC’s key quality objective is to meet this turnround for in house calibrations and we have been successfully doing so since introducing this target. An express, 2-working day, turnaround is also available at a premium rate. Where we manage the calibration using external subcontractors, our Admin system enables us to track, progress and chase on a daily basis so keeping customer turnround times to an absolute minimum. Where minimum downtime is important, OTC also offers on-site calibration at the customer’s own premises for a wide range of electronic and optoelectronic test equipment. A collection and delivery service is offered throughout much of the UK. Details of the OTC van routes and UPS collection service can be found here |
