CERAM Technology – Keeping Colours Constant
CERAM Technology Limited is offering a unique suite of services to quality technicians responsible for the ongoing maintenance and performance of colour measurement instruments.
CERAM Technology’s colour standards, internationally recognised by many industries as the leading set of standards for use in colour measurement, provide an ideal reference for testing the accuracy of spectrophotometers in order to ensure colour continuity.
The Stoke-based company’s core range comprises twelve glazed ceramic tile standards: three neutral grey for checking photometric linearity, seven chromatic standards for checking spectral response and two colour difference standards - providing a direct check on colour difference measurement for repeatability purposes.
Importantly this core collection is also supplemented by a unique service which enables manufacturers to obtain bespoke colour standards from CERAM Technology, tailored to meet specific colouring criteria that may be required in line with corporate or product branding. Whatever the colour requirement CERAM Technology can provide the standards to match.
Sean Hillman of CERAM Technology commented: “Guaranteeing exact colour matching/replication is an issue that affects a vast range of industries, from paint and textile manufacturers to food and drink producers.
“If uniformity is required for legal, safety or simply for retail branding reasons, then being able to confirm the accuracy of the colour measurement equipment used is essential – our standards and services ensure this requirement it met. “
As a UKAS Calibration Laboratory since 1992 (UKAS No. 0420), CERAM Technology is also equipped to provide calibration certificates for reflectance measurements on standards for all colorimetric work, ideal for ensuring compliance with ISO9000 Quality Control Procedures.
