Key Features of Our EMS Calibration Package

NIST-Traceable Calibration

We calibrate environmental monitoring sensors using NIST-traceable equipment,  meeting the highest criteria set by the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST).

This traceability ensures that every calibration is backed by a documented, continuous chain of comparisons to national measurement standards, providing the highest level of accuracy, precision, and consistency.

Regulatory Compliance

Each calibration comes complete with a detailed NIST Calibration Certificate, essential for regulatory compliance and meticulous record-keeping. These certificates are essential for meeting compliance requirements, such as those from the FDA, CDC, USP, and ISO.

Onsite Training

Enhance your team's capabilities with our onsite training sessions included in the calibration visit. 

Our expert trainers will ensure your staff is fully equipped to handle the system operations and respond effectively to any environmental alerts or concerns, keeping proficiency at its peak.

24/7 Product Support

Gain uninterrupted access to our dedicated support team with 24/7/365 product support.

Onsite Calibration Service

Rees has the largest regionalized field service support in the industry. Rees technicians offer prompt and convenient onsite calibration services and repairs, ensuring your operations continue without significant disruption.

Frequently Asked Questions

Calibration ensures that your Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) is providing accurate, reliable data. It helps maintain compliance with regulatory standards, supports data integrity, and ensures critical equipment is functioning within specified tolerances. Regular calibration minimizes risk, supports quality assurance, and protects the integrity of your monitored environments.

Rees calibrates a wide range of sensors and EMS components, including:

  • Temperature sensors (standard, ULT, cryogenic)

  • Relative humidity sensors

  • CO₂ sensors

  • Differential pressure sensors

  • Light (lux) sensors

  • Analog inputs used in EMS configurations

We calibrate both wired and wireless EMS devices used across various industries, including pharmaceutical, biotech, blood and tissue, and healthcare.

Calibration frequency depends on your internal SOPs, regulatory requirements, and risk tolerance. However, most organizations calibrate their EMS equipment annually. Rees can help establish a calibration schedule based on your compliance needs and operational priorities.

During calibration, a qualified Rees technician will:

  • Verify each sensor’s performance using NIST-traceable standards.

  • Provide as-found and as-left readings to document accuracy.

  • Adjust sensor readings if needed (where applicable).

  • Issue calibration certificates for your records.

  • Ensure minimal disruption to your monitoring system and operations.

Calibration time varies based on the number and type of sensors. A typical calibration visit can range from a few hours to a full day. Rees works efficiently to complete the process without compromising accuracy, and we’ll provide a time estimate in advance.

Yes! We encourage bundling multiple calibrations into a single visit to save time and reduce system downtime. Whether it’s one location or multiple zones, our team can coordinate a plan that works best for your facility’s needs.

Yes. All calibrations performed by Rees are traceable to NIST standards, and we provide calibration certificates with documented traceability to support audit-readiness and regulatory compliance.

Yes. Rees regularly calibrates sensors in validated and GxP environments. We follow strict protocols and provide documentation to support your compliance with FDA, EMA, and other regulatory agencies.

You'll receive:

  • Calibration certificates for each sensor

  • As-found and as-left data

  • NIST traceability info

  • Optional summary reports for your compliance records

Yes. Rees offers bundled services including calibration, temperature mappingvalidation, and preventative maintenance. We can coordinate these services during the same visit to streamline your compliance process.

With our EMS Calibration Package, you can rely on Rees for maintaining the accuracy and operational efficiency of your environmental monitoring systems.
