Thereafter the maximum nominal calibration interval is indicated below.
Test equipment calibration intervals.
Customer technical support.
At the time the equipment is set up for your use you should be provided with proof usually in the form of a certificate of calibration which insures that the device is measuring accurately.
Calibrating measurement and test equipment m te is expensive but using equipment that is out of calibration can be even more costly.
Typically the device should be tested and calibrated before usage.
A calibration vendor that is accredited by a signatory of aplac ilac or eu must provide the calibration whenever possible.
Some equipment owners do not want or need to implement a process called out in publications such as ncsl international rp 1 establishment and adjustment of calibration intervals and ilac g24 2007 guidelines for the determination of calibration intervals of measuring instruments the simplest option is to set the calibration.
Equipment assurance in house calibration and equipment verification.
Equipment calibration intervals appendix a 1 all test equipment requiring calibration shall undergo an initial calibration before being put into service.
That is the only way you will know for sure that the measurement results are accurate.
Comparison measurements of several calibrated test instruments among each other are another decision making aid for adapting calibration intervals for example if a test laboratory uses several force transducers and has the equipment needed for comparison measurements on hand.
Subsequently recalibration reports should include as submitted and post calibration accuracy and precision data to validate and or refine the interval.
Faulty m te will produce suspect parts and once you ve discovered that your m te is the problem you ll have to screen the suspect parts and repair or scrap the parts that aren t in spec.
A calibration vendor that is accredited by a signatory of aplac ilac or eu must provide the calibration whenever.
The information presented should be read in conjunction with the guidance found in the informative annex of the general accreditation criteria.
Compare measurements of different test instruments.

Why calibrate test equipment.
Since this is custom test equipment he often has no history to help determine the correct intervals.
