Kalibreerimistõendid

Kalibreerimistõendid are documents that attest to the accuracy and reliability of measuring instruments. In Estonia, these certificates are crucial for ensuring that measurements taken by various devices are traceable and conform to established standards. A kalibreerimistõend typically includes details about the instrument being calibrated, such as its model, serial number, and the date of calibration. It also specifies the measurement conditions, the calibration method used, and the results obtained, often presented with associated uncertainties.

The issuance of kalibreerimistõendid is a regulated process. Accredited calibration laboratories, operating under the supervision of national metrology institutes or designated bodies, are authorized to perform calibrations and issue these certificates. These laboratories must adhere to strict quality management systems and technical requirements to ensure the competence and impartiality of their calibration services. The traceability of the measurements to national or international standards is a fundamental aspect of a valid kalibreerimistõend.

Kalibreerimistõendid are essential in numerous sectors, including industry, healthcare, environmental monitoring, and scientific research. They provide confidence that measurements are accurate, which is vital for product quality, safety regulations, fair trade, and the integrity of scientific data. Without a valid kalibreerimistõend, a measuring instrument may not be legally recognized or accepted for critical applications. The validity period of a kalibreerimistõend is determined by factors such as the instrument's type, usage, and the stability of its performance.
