Measuring devices; application for calibration
During calibration, the relationship between the measured value of the output variable and the corresponding value of the input variable is determined under specified conditions. A comparison is made with a reference of the same unit.

Procedure details
Description
Measuring devices that are not approved for calibration and are not used in legal metrology are always calibrated. This verifies the traceability of the calibration result to recognized national and international norms/standards, which is required by the quality management standards of the DIN EN ISO 9000 series.
In the laboratory of the German Calibration Service (DKD) in the Landshut-Passau calibration office, Landshut branch, calibrations of weights and measures, nominal value 1 mg to 50 kg, and their volume determination up to 1250 cm3 are carried out. This is a voluntary quality assurance measure (possibly required by the ISO 9000ff. standard).
If you have any further questions, please contact the Landshut-Passau Weights and Measures Office, Landshut branch.
Requirements
The decision to calibrate depends on various aspects and should be selected accordingly:
- For measuring instruments that are used as test standards in the company (reference measuring instrument)
- When providing proof of traceability to external bodies, particularly abroad.
The period of validity is not specified. It is always the responsibility of the user.
Proceedings
A calibration is generally documented in a written report. The DAkkS calibration certificate states all calibration results, the reference standards and auxiliary equipment used for the measurement, the ambient conditions and the calculated measurement uncertainty. Calibration certificates from accredited laboratories are unquestionable proof of traceability and have international validity.
