NATA-calibrated Noise and Vibration devices now available

SiteHive now offers NATA-calibrated noise and vibration monitoring devices, giving you trusted, compliant, and independently-verified data.

SiteHive’s next-generation devices enable compliance with Australian environmental standards, reduce project risk, and ensure your monitoring data stands up to regulatory and legal scrutiny.

What’s new?

The next-generation SiteHive Hexanode Noise, Noise+Dust and Vibration devices can now be NATA-calibrated by any independent NATA-accredited lab. Or, alternatively, SiteHive can provide your devices calibrated and ready to go, along with appropriate Certificates. Our calibration partners include:

• NVMS
• Calibre

Calibration standards

The device calibrations are traceable, documented, and aligned with national standards. SiteHive Hexanode Noise and SiteHive Hexanode Noise+Dust monitoring devices are calibrated against:

• IEC 61672-3:2013 (Sound Level Meters)
• IEC 61260-1:2019 (Octave Filters)

And support advanced features including:

• Directional noise mapping
• Triggered images
• AI-classified audio
• In-field calibration

SiteHive Hexanode Vibration monitoring devices are:

• Calibrated against ISO 16063-21:2003
• Reporting and assessment aligned with DIN 4150-3 and BS 7385-2
• And key features include: PPV & VDV in one device; structural frequency assessment; ground-borne noise; and self-orienting deployment.

Why is NATA-level calibration important?

NATA calibration solves a key challenge for environmental monitoring: having confidence in your data, and proving it’s accurate and compliant. 

It is critical for projects that require defensible environmental noise or vibration data — especially those subject to tight compliance frameworks. In Queensland, for example, NATA calibration is a requirement for construction projects.

Accredited calibration also provides several benefits including:

• Supports reporting requirements under EPA guidelines, infrastructure contracts, and environmental codes of practice
• Meets environmental regulations and policies across Australia and New Zealand
• Reduces risk during audits, disputes, or legal reviews
• Improves stakeholder confidence — for clients, consultants, regulators and communities.

Who can benefit from NATA-calibrated devices?

NATA calibration is ideal for anyone conducting noise or vibration monitoring where data accuracy, compliance, and risk management are priorities. This includes:

• Queensland-based construction projects, where NATA level accuracy is stipulated in the TMR framework
• Environmental and acoustic consultants needing traceable, defensible data
• Contractors and construction teams delivering regulated projects
• Regulators and government stakeholders who need verifiable environmental reporting
• Client-side environmental managers responsible for approvals and compliance

How to access NATA-level calibrated devices

The new next-gen SiteHive Hexanode Noise, SiteHive Hexanode Noise+Dust and SiteHive Hexanode Vibration devices can all be NATA calibrated, and they are available now. You can:

• Have your SiteHive devices calibrated yourself by any NATA-accredited lab; or
• SiteHive can provide you with NATA-calibrated devices and certification. This service is $50/month per device, and SiteHive manages the full calibration process so your devices arrive fully calibrated with certificates.

(Note that the next-generation devices can also be used without NATA calibration – they come as standard with calibration conducted by SiteHive.)

With this new release, SiteHive combines real-time, cloud-enabled monitoring with accredited calibration, raising the benchmark for environmental compliance. By choosing SiteHive’s NATA-calibrated devices, you’re choosing:

• Confidence in your data
• Compliance with national standards
• Clarity in your reporting
• Reduced risk in every decision.

About NATA

NATA is Australia’s leading national accreditation body, recognised by government to assess organisations against international standards for laboratories, inspection bodies, proficiency testing providers and reference material producers. They provide accreditation services to conformity assessment bodies which facilitate stakeholders having confidence in test, measurement and inspection data and thus enabling them to gain national and international acceptance of their products and services.
