kalibointitodistus

Kalibointitodistus is a Finnish term that translates to "calibration certificate" in English. It is an official document that attests to the accuracy and traceability of a measuring instrument. This certificate is issued by an accredited calibration laboratory after the instrument has undergone a calibration process.

The calibration process involves comparing the readings of the measuring instrument against a known standard or reference instrument. The calibration certificate details the results of these comparisons, including any deviations or errors found. It also specifies the environmental conditions under which the calibration was performed and the uncertainty associated with the measurement results.

A kalibointitodistus is crucial for ensuring the reliability and validity of measurements in various fields, including manufacturing, research, and quality control. It provides objective evidence that the instrument is performing within its specified tolerances and that its measurements are traceable to national or international standards. This traceability is essential for complying with regulations, ensuring product quality, and making informed decisions.

The content of a kalibointitodistus typically includes the name and address of the calibration laboratory, the identification of the instrument being calibrated (e.g., serial number, model), the calibration date, the date of the next recommended calibration, the measurement results, the uncertainty of the measurements, and the signature of the authorized personnel. Possession of a valid kalibointitodistus is often a requirement for businesses operating in regulated industries.
