Calibration and Maintenance Contracts

Hanley Calibration entered the market 30 years ago to provide calibration support to the newly growing Irish pharmaceutical & medical device Industries. In doing so, Hanley’s partnered and helped develop the world class leading Calibration & Maintenance programs which now exist in the Biosciences Industries throughout Ireland.      

Calibration compliance is integral to the life cycle of every piece of Instrumentation. Here at Hanley’s, we pride ourselves on executing industry compliant calibrations using our extensive range of Test Equipment.

Through in house training programs as well as fully audited & compliant procedures, our staff are trained in Calibration methods and the importance of Compliance from the beginning of their employment regardless of their experience. We achieve this through continuous assessment & appraisal while working with Hanley’s. We pride ourselves on being people-people whether it’s staff or customers we see the value in being human and developing relationships.

Trust is defined as “firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something”.

Here at Hanley’s, we pride ourselves on the trust of our customers. This has helped develop the type of contracts & services we now deliver today.

• Hanley calibration Program Management: Hanley’s will manage the full calibration program across site (one stop shop). Hanley’s will utilize the existing calibration maintenance program and CMMS software under the clients’ umbrella of procedural requirements. Hanley’s’ will develop a clear set of KPI’s to monitor performance and encourage continuous improvements. Hanley’s will manage all on boarding of critical resources including Calibration supervisor, Calibration Technicians, Planners & Administrators.
• Hanley embedded resource support: Hanley’s can support existing metrology, calibration, engineering and maintenance departments by supplying qualified, trained and experienced personnel. Hanley’s achieve this by offering opportunities to existing staff or recruiting & networking smartly. Hanley’s have developed this tailored solution model in partnership with our customers’ so that now we supply technical resources in many different disciplines.
• Hanley mobile calibration Technician: Not all customers have the requirement for a full time resource.

We achieve this with access to over 5000 current CVS to enable us to build the right candidate profile for you.

Most major industry regulation authorities, such as the HPRA and FDA require that manufacturing equipment is maintained to the highest standard by a routine maintenance schedule. Calibration of instrumentation and execution of preventative maintenace routines are key to ensuring accuracy and compliance.

Calibration is the comparison of measurement instrumentation readings to a calibration standard of known accuracy. Using traceable reference standards we aim to provide a 4:1 accuracy ratio for all our calibrations between the reference standard and the device under test.

As almost all instruments will drift over time as a result of normal wear they will require regular calibration. Some equipment will drift less than others but regardless of drift tendencies, it is important that calibrations are performed in order to ensure the quality and integrity of manufactured products and confirm that all systems are reliable and accurate to ensure compliance.
