About Lake Balance

Dave Griffith started Lake Balance Company in June of 1986, after moving to Madison, OH from Oxford, MA. What began as a focused weighing and balance service has grown into a full calibration and proficiency testing laboratory serving labs nationwide.

In 2003 the company began doing business as Lake Balance & Calibration Services. In 2004 Lake Balance earned its first ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation — establishing a culture of documented quality and measurement traceability that continues today.

Our technicians bring more than 70 years of combined experience and have been trained by manufacturers including Mettler, A&D, and Rice Lake. We provide ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibrations of balances, moisture analyzers, scales, weights, pipettes, and temperature instruments.

Lake Balance was the first company to provide ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certificates for pipettes — extending accredited calibration into a discipline that many labs previously treated as informal.

Today we operate from 7722 Metric Drive, Mentor, OH, with current PJLA accreditations L24-897-2 (ISO/IEC 17025 / ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 calibration) and L24-898 (ISO/IEC 17043 proficiency testing).

For calibration labs that need to show their results hold up, Lake Balance proficiency testing ships PT kits for mass, balances and scales, pipettes, pressure, dimensional, electrical, temperature, flow, and force calibration.
