Kalibrointihistoria

Kalibrointihistoria is a Finnish term that translates to "calibration history" in English. It refers to the documented record of a measuring instrument's calibration events. This history typically includes details such as the date of calibration, the results of the calibration (e.g., before and after measurements, deviations from standard), the identity of the calibrating technician or laboratory, the specific calibration standards or procedures used, and any adjustments made to the instrument.

Maintaining a calibration history is crucial for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of measurements over time. It provides a traceable record that demonstrates the instrument's performance and allows for the identification of trends, potential issues, or drift. This information is vital for quality control, regulatory compliance, and making informed decisions about instrument maintenance, repair, or replacement.

In many industries, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and research, detailed calibration histories are a mandatory requirement. They serve as evidence that instruments are functioning within their specified tolerances and that the data they produce is trustworthy. Furthermore, a comprehensive calibration history can help in troubleshooting measurement problems and in optimizing the calibration schedule for a particular instrument. The practice of keeping such records is a fundamental aspect of metrology, the science of measurement.
