Do you require a purchase order (PO) before my order is processed? For in-lab calibrations, we do not require a purchase order before work begins, but we will not ship the instruments back without a PO or credit card. For repairs or onsite work, we require the purchase order before the work canbegin or the technicians are dispatched.

Do you require a Service Order or RMA number before calibrating our equipment? It is not required but is strongly recommended. This Service Order number is the tracking number for your instrument throughout the calibration/repair process. You can track it real-time on our C3 Asset Management System. When we generate the Service Order, we will determine what level of service you require, shipping information, payment method, calibration interval, etc.
