Get Informed before Your Next Calibration

To first summarize this weeks posts, calibration is the physical process of taking comparative measurements from your device against a standard device, and verification is the analytical process of comparing the resulting measurement errors against the performance specification of your device. Verification is, of course, not possible without the preceding calibration. However, verification is so closely related to calibration that they are treated as two inseparable parts of the same process.

We don't want the next catastrophic headline to bring your company into sharp focus, as it can happen any time. So make sure you know the importance of, and the difference between, calibration and verification, and that your calibration records are ready for scrutiny at all times.

So we can help you prepare for your next calibration, below are some valuable resources.....
