GNBS Gauge Calibration: Traceability and When to Schedule Checks
GNBS says calibration helps businesses assess whether pressure gauges provide accurate measurements. The Bureau advises setting calibration intervals according to use, operating conditions and previous results. Its Pressure Laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017; GNBS has calibrated almost 900 gauges since 2023, including 165 in 2026.

Kaieteur News reports that GNBS advises businesses to set pressure-gauge calibration intervals based on how often instruments are used, their operating conditions and previous calibration results. Keeping records is also recommended. Calibration can help identify measurement errors and reduce risks, but the article does not present it as a guarantee of safety or accuracy.
The service’s technical basis is separate from those scheduling decisions: GNBS says its reference standards are traceable to the International System of Units (SI), with measurement standards traceable to recognised institutions including the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the United States and Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Germany. GNBS’ Pressure Laboratory is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, a standard setting requirements for testing and calibration laboratory competence.
GNBS has calibrated almost 900 pressure gauges across industries since 2023, including 165 in 2026, according to Kaieteur News. The Bureau also calibrates instruments such as balances, thermometers and micrometers. After calibration, it issues a certificate or report showing that the instrument was calibrated.
