Recalibration
The respective measuring task and the stress to which your
measuring instrument is subjected affect the ageing of the com-
ponents and may result in deviations from the guaranteed accu-
racy.
If high measuring accuracy is required and the instrument is fre-
quently 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 documented. The
deviations determined in the process are used for correction of
the readings during subsequent application.
We are pleased to perform DKD or factory calibrations for you in
our calibration laboratory. Please visit our website at

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
calibration. For products from our factory, however, any necessary ad-
justment is frequently performed and the observance of the relevant
specification is confirmed.
