Types of Calibration: An Overview

Factory Calibration
ebro measuring equipment is always delivered with a factory calibration certificate. This guarantees the proper functioning of the device and compliance with the tolerances indicated in the technical specifications. Factory calibration is carried out with DKD-calibrated working standard measuring equipment

Calibration according to ISO 9000ff

Modern quality assurance systems like ISO 9000ff, QS 9000, GxP and FDA require regular testing and measuring equipment checks, which also includes calibration of these devices. ebro ISO calibration is an economical, fast and precise option for the fulfilment of these requirements.

DKD Calibration
DKD calibration is often needed for working standard measuring equipment, measuring equipment used by certified experts and for certain measurement procedures in pharmaceuticals and medicine - in other words, wherever an especially high degree of safety is required. DKD calibration is generally carried out by special DKD calibration laboratories. ebro has a DKD calibration laboratory for temperature and humidty on site.

Official Calibration
Values measured by a device that has been officially calibrated are binding in a court of law. This makes such devices ideal the for use by government inspection authorities such as food inspectors or certified court experts.

 
  

Factory Calibration

 
What characterizes factory calibration?
  • Calibration is accomplished using special equipment.
  • All factory certificates are issued by trained personnel.
  • The factory calibration certificate confirms the suitability of the device for official calibration.
  • All new devices receive factory calibration.

Please note: factory calibration is not possible in conjunction with a single repair order. If proof of calibration is required,  we always recommend an ISO calibration.
 
  

Calibration according to ISO 9000ff

 
What characterizes calibration according to ISO 9000ff?
  • Calibration is done by experts in a special laboratory.
  • The results are documented in detail, including traceability information, in a so-called ISO calibration certificate.
  • Manufacturer-independent calibration, devices from other manufacturers can be calibrated.
  • Calibration also includes device adjustments, if necessary (only for ebro devices)

  • We recommend ISO calibration annually for thermometers and every six months for pressure and humidity meters.
 
  

DKD Calibration (Accredited according to EN 17025)

 
What characterizes DKD Calibration?
  • Calibration is carried out only by accredited laboratories.
  • Calibration is internationally recognized.
  • DKD calibration is carried out only by especially certified persons.
  • DKD calibration is documented in detail including traceability.
  • DKD calibration is manufacturer-independent, devices from other manufacturers can be calibrated.
  • We recommend DKD calibration annually for thermometers and every six months for pressure and humidity meters.
 
  

Official Calibration (Only Germany, Austria, Switzerland)

 
What characterizes official calibration?
  • Official calibration is carried out only by governement gauging offices.
  • Measuring equipment must have a special type of approval from the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in order to be eligible for official calibration.
  • The official calibration certificate indicates the display correction, calibration tolerances and the duration of validity.
  • The ebro TFX 422 thermometer is officially calibrated (or suitable for official calibration).
