When is calibration needed?
01
At least every 2 years
A tachograph requires a periodic inspection at least every two years. Check the last inspection date on the installation plaque and arrange a visit before the next inspection is due.
02
After changes to the vehicle
A change to the registration number, vehicle characteristic coefficient or effective tyre circumference requires another inspection and calibration. Tell us about these changes when arranging your visit.
03
After repairs or when faults occur
A tachograph needs another inspection after a repair. Incorrect readings, a damaged seal or recurring warnings require a workshop check; do not wait until the periodic inspection is due.

PRACTICAL ANSWERS
Questions about calibration and service
Yes. Calibration concerns the tachograph installed in a specific vehicle and that vehicle's parameters. Bring the vehicle, its registration certificate and company invoice details.
Yes. We service successive generations of VDO and Stoneridge digital tachographs, including Smart 1 and Smart 2. If you do not know the model, send a photo of the front of the device or its technical printout.
Not always. The problem may involve the device, sensor or vehicle installation. We first diagnose the fault, then agree the work required, whether a repair is possible and its cost.
No. An update changes the software, while calibration confirms or updates the vehicle parameters stored in the tachograph. We determine the work required for each based on the device model and vehicle circumstances.
During your visit, tell us you would like a notification in two years about your calibration expiry and provide a contact number. The reminder is optional.
Contact us by phone or through the form to agree a price and date. Repair cost depends on the fault and parts required; we confirm it after diagnosis.
