Metrological Center SAS

What Metrological Center SAS does

Metrological Center S.A.S. is a privately held Colombian metrology laboratory founded in 2013 and headquartered at Calle 73 Bis # 24-14 in Bogotá D.C. The firm operates a single calibrated facility serving clients across all economic sectors at both domestic and claimed international levels. Its core technical asset is ONAC accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (accreditation code 18-LAC-024), which authorizes the laboratory to issue accredited calibration certificates across nine measurement magnitudes: turbidimetry, mass, volume, relative humidity, temperature, optics, electrochemistry, substance concentration, and pressure. The substance concentration capability — covering chlorine and dissolved oxygen meters — is described as unique in Colombia, providing a defensible niche distinction within the broader accredited calibration market. Accredited services are delivered through two laboratories (a Physics Laboratory and an Optics and Chemistry Laboratory), with both in-lab and on-site service options; reference materials and certified standards underpin measurement traceability, including ISO/IEC 17034:2016 reference materials used in pH calibration.

The commercial model is professional-services-led and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Seven revenue streams are observable: accredited calibration services (the core stream), technical maintenance (delivered via unnamed strategic allies), equipment verification, IQ/OQ/PQ qualification, laboratory equipment sales (a hardware stream including thermometers, climate chambers, balances, spectrophotometers, and pH meters), consulting and training (covering ISO/IEC 17025 implementation, uncertainty analysis, and internal audits), and internal audit services against ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001. Customer acquisition runs through direct sales via phone, email ([email protected]), WhatsApp, and the company website, supplemented by webinar-based educational marketing and an online payment portal integrated with Colombian banks (Bancolombia, Bogotá-Grupo AVAL, BBVA). The firm employs between 11 and 50 people, has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no recorded M&A or leadership changes in the source data.
