Calibration & certification
Kuduwave calibrations
Your reputation is measured in decibels. Keep your Kuduwave calibrated, and every test you run stands on a verifiable foundation.
What we calibrate
What a Kuduwave calibration covers
GeoAxon calibrates and certifies these functions of your Kuduwave:
- Air conduction
- Extended high frequencies
- Masking
- Speech
- Diagnostic functions
- X-Check
- Ambient-noise monitoring
You receive a calibration certificate. All calibration data is recorded and is available on request to accompany the certificate, for full transparency in your quality audits.
Standards
Calibrated to the standards for audiometry
Kuduwave audiometers are designed and calibrated to the IEC, ANSI and SANS standards for audiometry. The calibration references:
- ANSI S3.6American National Standard specification for audiometers
- IEC 60645-1International Electrotechnical Commission standard: audiometric equipment for pure-tone and speech audiometry
- SANS 10154-1South African National Standard for audiometric equipment
See all our statements on the regulatory and standards page.
Keeping your certificate valid
What invalidates a calibration
A calibration stays valid as long as the instrument is handled with professional care. It becomes invalid if the audiometer is:
- misused, roughly handled or physically broken;
- repaired by anyone not authorised to do so;
- transported by road, air or rail without its dedicated anti-vibration case;
- used at a new site without a subjective calibration check before testing.
If any of these has happened, stop testing and book a calibration.
How often
At least once a year
Calibrate your audiometer at least annually. Some standards ask for more: in South Africa, SANS 10154-1 sets quarterly calibration for portable audiometers used in occupational health, including audiometers moved from one location to another. Follow the current edition of the standard that applies to your programme.
Between calibrations: X-Check
Run X-Check before a session to verify, in 30 seconds, that your Kuduwave is still performing as calibrated. X-Check does not replace regular calibration.
How to book
Book your Kuduwave calibration
Fill in the request form
Tell us your Kuduwave model, its serial number and where you are in the calibration request form below.
We arrange the calibration with the right calibration centre for your country and contact you with the details.
Choose on-site or laboratory
We offer both: on-site calibration to keep your facility running, or a controlled laboratory environment. Tell us which suits your logistics.
Pack it properly
If your Kuduwave travels to us, send it in its dedicated anti-vibration carry case - transport without it invalidates a calibration.
