Calibration and standards

Back to overview
  • In principle, any company can carry out calibrations themselves.
  • The precondition, however, is that the measuring equipment used is traceable to international or national measurement standards and that the tests/calibrations are performed according to the requirements of the standards.
  • The international standards therefore recommend/propose that these tests are performed exclusively by accredited  calibration laboratories (in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025)
