Quote Validity: All estimates and quotations are valid for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of quote.
Calibration: Calibration is defined as a comparison of an unknown to a known. Calibration does not mean adjustment but can include adjustment. JJ Calibrations will compare the customer’s “unknown” unit to a JJ Calibrations “known” unit and determine if the unit is “in calibration”. We calibrate equipment to OEM tolerances and specs.
Adjustments: If JJ Calibrations finds a unit “In Tolerance”, adjustments are NOT performed. Adjustments are only made for “Out of Tolerance” conditions. There are times when adjustments are not possible due to the nature of the unit. If adjustment requires additional labor estimate will be sent before work is done.
Calibration Pricing: Minimum eval charge is $35, but only for units that we could not calibrate per the definition of calibration above. If unit is found out of tolerance and cannot be adjusted/repair the charge will be the calibration price. JJ Calibrations reserves the right to change prices at any time and without prior notice. Our pricing may at times be based upon the accuracy of the information provided by our customers.
Payment Terms: Net 30 days. All past due invoices are subject to late and collection fees. 90 days past an invoice due date a customer's account is placed on hold. No new work can be started till the account is brought up to date. Any work brought in during a credit hold may be held until the account is brought current. Once current, all work will resume from that date. JJ Calibrations currently accepts;
Turn Around Time: JJ Calibrations does not guarantee turnaround time. However JJ Calibrations considers turn around to be an important service metric. Our target is seven to 10 calendar days after the date of receipt of equipment on calibrations only. Reasons for calibration delays may include;
Calibration may also be delayed due to the certificate requirements selected by the customer. Contact JJ to determine what current estimated turn time is.
Rush Service: For a calibration fee increase of fifty percent (50%) over standard pricing and places the specific product requested into a “next on bench” status, which means the next available technician will work on that unit, unless pre-empted by other “RUSH” units ahead of it. Typically this is a 3 day rush. If you are needing anything faster, please contact us and see if it is possible. If units are found to require adjustments or repairs, it may not be possible to be completed in 3 days, but the rush fee will still be applied as it was rush ahead of other units.
Please schedule your onsite as soon as possible, as many dates are requested months in advance by our customers. We suggest 2-3 months planning as some customers book 6 months to 2 years out.

On-site Emergency Services: JJ Calibrations provides emergency on-site services at the rate of an additional fifty percent (50%) of the standard (quoted) cost. For all non-emergency on-sites JJ must be notified a minimum of two weeks in advance. We cannot guarantee emergency onsites, as they may interfere with onsites already scheduled for our other customers. Even with 2 onsites and four techs out per day minimum we are typically booked 2 months out.
Certificate of Calibration: Unless otherwise specified by the customer in writing, it will be understood by JJ Calibrations that the customer wishes for the calibration interval of their instruments to be expressed on the Certificate of Calibration. Default cal interval is 12 months. We provide as found/as left data on all certificates, unless customer requests differently. Accredited calibration certs include the as found/left data as well as the Measurement Uncertainty of each data point on certificate. We use Simple Acceptance per ILAC G8, including UUT in the budgets. TUR can be calculated via the accuracy of the UUT and the data point uncertainty on the cert to determine your risk. If you need to request a different method please contact us for availability and price.
Accredited Calibration (to ISO 17025:2017): JJ Calibrations DOES NOT provide 17025 accredited certificates unless specifically requested by the customer. If an instrument is calibrated and returned to the customer and the customer later finds that the 17025 option was needed on their part, the customer is responsible for paying for the additional calibration.
