ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration for Snap-on Instruments
SIMCO offers ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services for applicable Snap-on torque instruments, measurement ranges, and parameters.
Accredited calibration may include:
- As-found and as-left measurement data
- Documented measurement uncertainty
- Traceability to the International System of Units through national metrology institutes such as NIST or other recognized reference standards
- Pass/fail statements, where applicable
- Calibration documentation to support audits, compliance activities, and quality-management requirements
Accredited calibration is often required when torque measurements directly affect product acceptance, controlled assembly processes, safety-critical fastening, regulated manufacturing, or customer quality requirements.
Why Calibrate Snap-on Equipment?
Snap-on torque tools are commonly used to apply controlled torque to fasteners in manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, and repair applications. Over time, normal use, wear, overload, handling, storage conditions, mechanical damage, and other factors can affect torque tool performance.
Without routine calibration, inaccurate torque application can contribute to:
- Under-tightened fasteners
- Over-tightened fasteners
- Damaged threads, fasteners, or components
- Assembly and product quality issues
- Process deviations
- Incorrect maintenance or repair results
- Compliance risk
- Increased measurement uncertainty
- False confidence in completed fastening operations
Routine calibration helps verify that Snap-on torque equipment continues to perform within applicable specifications and remains suitable for its intended use.
For quality-driven organizations, accredited calibration also provides objective evidence of traceability, technical competence, and documented uncertainty to support customer requirements, internal quality systems, and regulatory expectations.

Do you calibrate Snap-on mechanical torque wrenches?
Yes. SIMCO supports many Snap-on mechanical torque wrenches, including QD-series adjustable click-type and ratcheting torque wrenches across a range of drive sizes and torque ranges.
Do you calibrate Snap-on torque screwdrivers and torque drivers?
Yes. SIMCO provides calibration support for many Snap-on torque screwdrivers, adjustable torque drivers, and torque-limiting drivers, including QDRIVER and QTS models. These tools are commonly used in lower-torque assembly applications where controlled fastener torque is important.
How often should a Snap-on torque wrench be calibrated?
The appropriate calibration interval depends on factors such as frequency of use, application criticality, tool history, manufacturer recommendations, environmental conditions, handling, and previous calibration results. Calibration intervals should be established and periodically reviewed using available performance and risk information rather than assuming the same interval is appropriate for every torque tool.
Should a Snap-on torque wrench be calibrated after repair or adjustment?
Calibration after repair or adjustment provides measurement evidence that the torque wrench performs as required before it is returned to service. The appropriate calibration or verification should address the functions and measurement ranges affected by the work performed.
Can Snap-on torque equipment be calibrated onsite?
Onsite calibration may be available for certain Snap-on torque instruments depending on the equipment type, torque range, location, calibration requirements, and service scope. Contact SIMCO to discuss onsite calibration options for your facility.
Do you repair Snap-on torque equipment?
SIMCO can help coordinate repair support for many Snap-on torque instruments when repair is available. After repair or adjustment, calibration can be performed to verify tool performance before the equipment is returned to service.
Can SIMCO support Snap-on equipment across multiple facilities?
Yes. SIMCO supports calibration programs for organizations managing torque equipment across multiple facilities or service areas. SIMCO can help coordinate calibration services, documentation, asset tracking, scheduling, and program support across locations.
