What is Calibration ?

A basic tool in ensuring the traceability of a measurement is the calibration of a measuring instrument or reference material. Calibration determines the performance characteristics of an instrument or reference material. It is achieved by means of a direct comparison against measurement standards or certified reference materials. A calibration certificate is issued and, in most cases, a sticker is attached to the calibrated instrument.

Three main reasons for having an instrument calibrated :

1. To ensure readings from the instrument are consistent with other measurements.
2. To determine the accuracy of the instrument readings.
3. To establish the reliability of the instrument i.e. that it can be trusted.

Therefore, Instrument Calibration is an essential duty to achieve in every company owning and using some measuring instruments.
