Fluke Distributor: Authorization and Calibration Scope
Updated
Check a Fluke distributor or Fluke Networks distributor before ordering to prevent wrong channel routing, out-of-territory repair costs, and scope mismatches.
Verifying a Fluke or Fluke Networks supplier requires three pre-order checks: confirming the seller is an authorized sales outlet in the destination territory (since cross-border repairs can incur parts import charges and market-restricted meters lose warranty outside their region), matching coverage periods by product line, and checking that the servicing calibration lab's ISO/IEC 17025 scope under ILAC MRA bodies (UKAS, NVLAP, A2LA, SCC/CLAS, DAkkS, RvA) covers your specific parameters.
Check a Fluke distributor, Fluke Networks distributor, or Fluke authorized distributor before ordering to prevent wrong channel routing, out-of-territory repair costs, and calibration scope mismatches. Start supplier discovery in the IT distribution directory and enterprise networking directory, and pair your review with the distributor verification checklist and the official vs source-supported guide.
Separate sales channel authorization from territorial and reseller rules
Under the Fluke Insulated Hand Tool Lifetime Limited Warranty, Fluke will, at its option, repair at no charge, replace, or refund the purchase price of a defective product purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet and at the applicable international price.
Under the Fluke Insulated Hand Tool Lifetime Limited Warranty, Fluke reserves the right to charge for importation costs of repair/replacement parts if a product purchased in one country is sent for repair elsewhere, and authorized resellers are not authorized to extend any different warranty on Fluke's behalf.
Fluke models 101, 106, 107, 15B+, 17B+, and 18B+ are intended for sale and use in the Chinese and High Growth Markets only, and their warranty is void if sold, purchased, or used outside of these territories or from unauthorized distributors.
Fluke Networks authorized resellers shall extend the standard warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only, have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke Networks, and warranty support is available only if the product is purchased through a Fluke Networks authorized sales outlet or the buyer has paid the applicable international price.
Before Fluke can offer an Extended Warranty Plan on an instrument whose warranty has expired, a Pre-Plan Inspection performed during the calibration process may be required, and calibration charges will apply.
Compare commercial channel terms in the deal registration and channel partner guide and verify industrial supplier routes in the Rockwell Automation distributor verification guide.
Confirm that the named supplier entity is an authorized sales channel in the destination country before approving the purchase order.

The NIST Quality System (NIST QS), documented in the NIST Quality Manual (NIST-QM-I), commits, to the extent allowed by statute and regulation, to conformity with ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 17034, ISO/IEC 17043, and ISO TS 8000 as they apply to the measurement services that NIST delivers.
Under the NIST Policy on Traceability, merely having an instrument or artifact calibrated at NIST is not enough to make the measurement result traceable to NIST reference standards; establishing traceability requires an unbroken chain of comparisons, a statement of uncertainty accompanying each measurement, a clearly understood and controlled measurement system, and the dates and details of each link in the chain.
The results of calibrations and tests performed by NIST apply only to the specific instrument or standard at the time of test unless otherwise clearly stated, and NIST policy requires all NIST measurements to be accompanied by statements of uncertainty as discussed in NIST Technical Note 1297 (1994 Edition).
The NIST NVLAP Calibration Laboratories Accreditation Program (LAP) offers accreditation in 8 major fields of metrology with over 90 individual parameters, requires mandatory proficiency testing (PT) where available at the level of the laboratory's accredited capabilities, and accepts PT results under option (a) when the PT provider is accredited to ISO/IEC 17043 for the parameter being tested at the uncertainty level of that test, and that accreditation is issued by a body which is signatory to a mutual recognition arrangement (MRA) for proficiency testing accreditation in a regional body recognized by ILAC.
NIST NVLAP Calibration Laboratories accreditation requirements documents include NIST Handbook 150:2020 (update 1), NIST Handbook 150-2:2024, Lab Bulletin LB-164-2026, Lab Bulletin LB-158-2024, and Lab Bulletin LB-117-2020 for laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under the ILAC MRA.
Check that the laboratory scope covers the required instrument ranges and uncertainties rather than relying on a standalone report number.
Frequently asked questions
Does Fluke honor product coverage when an instrument is purchased from an unauthorized seller or shipped outside the country of purchase?
Fluke warranty remedies (no-charge repair, replacement, or refund) require purchase through an authorized sales outlet at the applicable international price. Resellers cannot alter Fluke's warranty terms, and sending an instrument to another country for service can trigger import charges for repair or replacement parts.
Are all Fluke calibration laboratories covered by the same accreditation scope?
No—accreditation certificates and parameter scopes are site-specific. For example, in Everett, Washington, the Everett Service Center holds A2LA Certificate No. 2166.01 for electrical calibration, whereas the Everett Fluke Park Laboratory holds NVLAP Certificate No. 105016-0 covering electrical instruments, metrology wells/baths, and pressure controllers.
How does Fluke Networks Gold Support calibration differ from Non-Gold service center calibration?
Gold members receive one annual factory calibration at no charge (including failed-module repair, firmware updates, and an advance-scheduled loaner) without needing a purchase order or credit card, whereas Non-Gold owners book paid per-incident calibration or repair through regional Authorized Service Centers.
Does having an instrument calibrated at NIST by itself make commercial customer measurements traceable?
No. Under the NIST Policy on Traceability, a NIST report applies only to the tested artifact at the time of test; full measurement traceability requires an unbroken comparison chain, documented measurement uncertainties per NIST Technical Note 1297, a controlled measurement system, and complete link records.
