Accredited calibration of measurement equipment Recognized internationallyLogo BELAC

Laborelec has more than 45 years of experience in calibrating electrical measuring instruments. Our laboratory is internationally renowned and certified by the Belgian Accreditation body (BELAC).

For several decades, Laborelec has been involved in the calibration of energy meters, voltmeters, instrument transformers, and other electrical measurement devices. Laborelec has carried out this task at the request of various network operators, metering companies, and all types of companies with electrical measuring instruments, both in Belgium and abroad.

Power/energy metering

Power metering

Laborelec is an authority in the field of calibrating power and energy meters. Our lab maintains the Belgian standard in this area for three-phased and single‑phase measurement equipment, up to 400 V and 150 A. We also participate in a yearly inter-laboratory comparison. During this initiative, Electricité de France (EDF) invites ten laboratories from France, Germany, Slovenia, Italy, and Belgium to calibrate two reference standards.

Laborelec invariably comes out as one of the top labs in terms of accuracy and narrow measurement uncertainty.

Our calibration lab is ISO 17025 accredited. The equipment that we use is itself calibrated every two years by the German PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), to a point where we can guarantee our customers measurement uncertainty of 10-4.

Instrument transformers

BELAC has also accredited Laborelec for calibrating instrument transformers. Our lab calibrates devices of up to 150 kV and 6 kA. Calibrations are performed in
our laboratories in Linkebeek, based on the prevailing international standards.

We regularly have PTB calibrate our own reference standards.

Electric and magnetic field measuring instruments

Laborelec has also developed a methodology for calibrating instruments that measure electric fields of up to 35 kV per meter and magnetic fields of up to 0.5 mT. Our experts originally developed this methodology for their colleagues at the Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) lab. But the methodology is now also BELAC accredited and is currently being used by Elia, VITO, and the University of Liège.
