Calibration standards are tightening. ISO 8655:2022 and ISO 17025 now require time-stamped, traceable ambient records. But the instruments that deliver this still cost $2K to $10K per point and lock teams into proprietary ecosystems.
Today’s options force a compromise:
Log by hand, or skip stations entirely
Standalone loggers fill up and record over older data. Handheld readings are transcribed manually, with no automatic timestamp. When an auditor asks for ambient conditions from three months ago, the records are incomplete or missing.
Invest in proprietary instruments
$2K to $10K per station. Vendor-controlled recalibration. Proprietary software to read your own data. Integration takes weeks.
You know every station should have a traceable reference. But at $10K per point, you instrument one bench and hope the auditor doesn’t ask about the others.
Traceable environmental monitoring should not require a proprietary ecosystem and a five-figure budget.
We work with calibration labs maintaining traceable references, metrology departments monitoring multiple chambers, and test teams deploying sensors across production stations.

Three steps to traceable data
Pick your measurement, protection level, and options (-CAL for recalibration, ISO 17025 certificate for traceability).
Open DracalView (free) for a live reading and simple adjustment of calibratable sensors.
Verify and adjust in-house using a 3-point polynomial calibration mechanism. Or send to any ISO 17025 accredited lab for recertification. Swap a spare to keep the station running. No vendor dependency.

How Dracal compares
Dracal fills the gap between manual methods that cannot prove traceability and proprietary instruments that deliver it at a cost most labs cannot scale.
Are you monitoring your own lab, or building the solution your clients use?
Both paths use the same instruments, calibration mechanism, and free software.
Path A
I monitor my own lab
Path B

Achieving ISO 8655:2022 compliance with Dracal sensors
“The Dracal climate monitor solution fits perfect in our calibration labs:
– Nice compact hardware
– Different free of charge software solutions (Dracalview, climate monitor, logging, …)
– Direct connectible to our applications
This together with quick delivery at affordable price brings us to a win/win situation.”
Automate 20+ test stations with traceable environmental data
“Not only did Dracal’s data acquisition tools offer us the independence and flexibility we were looking for, they also provided very reliable sensor support.
The user calibration option was a game-changer for us, meeting the crucial calibration and traceability requirements we needed to comply with.”
Using Dracal calibratable instruments as your accurate working reference
“Dracal sensors are nice because you can enter the sensed point without it needing to be in the chamber, which allows for a more accurate adjustment, especially when averaging readings over a longer period of time.
I am confident in the adjustments made to these devices to be as close as possible to nominal when they leave the lab, directly because of the way the software and device interact.”
