All NORM Monitor-IS probes are checked and calibrated immediately prior to despatch to the customer. Following this
initial procedure (or the regular inspection and calibration check), Tracerco engineers will set the next calibration check
due date within the probe’s memory.
To assist in providing customers with a more efficient and comprehensive service, Tracerco’s in-house database
holds records of all monitors supplied to customers, including details of inspections, repairs, replacements and
calibrations. This database provides a cradle-to-grave history for the tracking of radiation monitors.
