kalibrerats

Kalibrerats is the past participle of the Swedish verb kalibrera, meaning that an instrument, device, or system has undergone calibration. In Swedish technical and scientific writing, kalibrerats signals that the item’s measurements have been adjusted and validated against reference standards, and that its stated accuracy is supported by a calibration process or certificate.

Calibration is the procedure of comparing an instrument’s readings with known standards and applying adjustments or corrections to align results with accepted values. The term kalibrerats is commonly used in laboratory notes, maintenance logs, and calibration certificates. Calibration establishes traceability to higher-level standards such as the International System of Units (SI) through documented chains of calibration.

Typical content of a kalibrerat record includes the instrument identification, the reference standard used, the measured deviation before adjustment, any adjustments performed, environmental conditions, and the issued calibration date and due date for re-calibration. The consequences of using kalibrerats equipment without confirmable traceability can include inaccurate measurements, non-compliance with quality management systems, and safety risks.

In English contexts the term is often translated as "calibrated" or "has been calibrated." Related concepts include kalibrering (calibration), kalibrerad (calibrated, adjective), and calibration certificates. The concept is central to metrology, quality control, and regulatory compliance across science, engineering, healthcare, and manufacturing.
