our story

CM LAB was founded by Clifford Hicken, David Swarts, and Bennie Swart, who collectively contributed 102 years of service in the Legal Metrology (Trade Metrology) Department, initially at the DTIC and later at SABS. Drawing from this extensive experience in Mass & Volume Calibration and Trade/Legal Metrology, CM LAB embarked on its journey as a SANAS 17025 Accredited Laboratory for Mass & Volume Calibrations in May 2009.

Since achieving accreditation, our laboratory has witnessed steady growth in our client base. We take pride in delivering value-added, cost-effective, and efficient services to our clients. Our commitment to integrity and honesty serves as the cornerstone of our business.
