About Element Metech KDK
Element Metech KDK GmbH is an accredited calibration service founded in Heidelberg in 1994 with its laboratory located in Wiesloch. More than 35 employees calibrate measuring and testing equipment in the fields of electrical engineering, mechanics, dimensional metrology, temperature and light – as factory and DAkkS calibrations in accordance with DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 (laboratory number D-K-15180-01-00). The service portfolio also includes contract measurement services and initial sample inspections with tactile and optical coordinate measuring machines, repair and adjustment, express and on-site calibrations, as well as an online test equipment management system (KAN 2.0) with 24/7 access. All standards are traceable without gaps to national and international standards such as PTB, METAS, UKAS and NIST. The laboratory serves customers from the automotive industry, aerospace, medical technology, laser/optical technology and the manufacturing industry, including ABB, Daimler, Siemens and Leica. In the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region, the company offers a collection and delivery service for test equipment.
