Calibration

1. Overview

HAI being the major aviation repair and manufacturing center in Greece, uses high technology and precision equipment to implement corresponding work load and customer contracts.

Precision Measuring and Test Equipment Calibration activity started at HAI in parallel with production activity.  Corresponding Laboratory had to demonstrate all these years that it operates as competent, to carry out specific calibration and/or tests.

To that extent, PME Laboratory operates a calibration and measurement system that ensure calibrations or test and supporting measurement performed, are traceable to appropriate National Standards of Measurement so that, confidence is placed in the Quality of Measurements carried out, at all levels of the tractability chain.

Today the PME Laboratory provides services to both HAI production and wide range of customers including armed forces, industry, research centers, public organizations, technical assistance companies, aviation and maritime companies.

Its highly qualified technicians perform more than 18000 calibrations per year utilizing state-of-the art prototype equipment which are calibrated at the USA Wyle Laboratories, an entity which is certified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. 

PME Laboratory covers are of 559 sq.m. and consists of three areas:  Electronics, Physics and, Metrology.  A Mobile Team for on site calibration Services to Industry is also available.

PME Laboratory maintains and controls environmental factors, as necessary to ensure calibration accuracy for all standards and Measuring and Test Equipment.  The installation where the tests are carried out is maintained and protected against extreme  conditions such as heat, dust, humidity, noise and vibration disturbances and interference. The installation is having the essential equipment and necessary energy sources for the tests.     When required by the tests, these are equipped with devices monitoring environmental conditions.

The Laboratory’s Quality System is in compliance with and is accredited to the international standards EN-45001.     This Quality System is audited periodically by such national and international organizations and companies as Hellenic Accreditation Council, Bureau Veritas International, Boeing, Dasa, General Electric, NAMSA, etc.
