Recalibration

The respective measuring task and the stress to which
your measuring instrument is subjected affect the ageing of
the components and may result in deviations from the
guaranteed accuracy.

If high measuring accuracy is required and the instrument
is frequently used in field applications, combined with
transport stress and great temperature fluctuations, we
recommend a relatively short calibration interval of 1 year. If
your measuring instrument is mainly used in the laboratory
and indoors without being exposed to any major climatic
or mechanical stress, a calibration interval of 2-3 years is
usually sufficient.

During recalibration* in an accredited calibration laboratory
(DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025) the deviations of your instrument
in relation to traceable standards are measured and docu-
mented. The deviations determined in the process are
used for correction of the readings during subsequent
application.

We are pleased to perform DAkkS or factory calibrations
for you in our calibration laboratory. Please visit our website

By having your measuring instrument calibrated regularly,
you fulfill the requirements of a quality management system
per DIN EN ISO 9001.

* Verification of specifications or adjustment services are not part of the cali-

bration. For products from our factory, however, any necessary adjustment
is frequently performed and the observance of the relevant specification is
confirmed.
