Kalibratierondes

Kalibratierondes, or calibration rounds, are planned sequences in which measurement devices or systems are tested and adjusted using traceable reference standards to ensure measurement accuracy over time.

They are used across laboratories, manufacturing, and field environments, and can apply to instruments such as balances, spectrometers, pressure gauges, weather sensors, and software measurement modules.

A typical calibration round includes measuring one or more reference standards with known values, comparing instrument readings to true values, computing corrections, applying adjustments, and documenting results in a calibration record or certificate.

Calibrations rely on metrological traceability to national or international standards. They are conducted according to documented procedures and quality systems; results are reported with measurement uncertainty and a calibration interval.

Rondes are scheduled by time, usage, or process requirements, and may be triggered by out-of-tolerance readings or maintenance events. A failed calibration can lead to rework, repair, or equipment replacement.

The practice supports data integrity, regulatory compliance, quality management, and reliable process control.
