The calibration usually covers the complete specified range, but can be customized to your needs (3). Measurement points are selected in accordance with the manufacturer’s performance test or equivalent.

The measurement procedures and the test equipment are selected to ensure traceability to national and international standards.

The uncertainty of measurement is accounted for when performing a compliance or non-compliance test. If the measuring instrument does not comply with the specification after adjustment or repair is needed, the customer is contacted before any further action.

(1) When adjustments are performed, measurement results are reported for the actual points.

(2) You can order not to perform any adjustments, e.g. for reference equipment where calibration history is important.The measuring instrument is then shipped, no matter if it comply with the specification or not.

(3) The complete specification refers to relevant parts of the specification.When performing accredited calibrations, where not all of the parameters are covered by the accreditation, the calibration will be complemented by non-accredited measurements to cover the complete specification.When the complete specification cannot be covered, the equipment is labeled ”Limited calibration”.
