An acoustical calibrator should be recalibrated at least annually by the instrument manufacturer or an acoustical test laboratory qualified to perform calibration American National Standards Institute Specifications for Acoustical Calibrators ANSI S1 40 2006 par 5 2 Larson Davis believes the frequency of recalibration depends on the number of calibrators being used and the number of instruments b...
