Calibration Of Equipment In A Lab

Purpose this procedure specifies the schedule and requirements for calibration performance verification and maintenance of laboratory testing instruments and equipment.

Calibration of equipment in a lab. The piece of equipment or device with the known or assigned accuracy is called the standard. Laboratory equipment calibration is defined as an association between measurements one of a scale or accuracy made or set with one piece of equipment and another measurement made in as similar a way as possible with a second piece of equipment. Proper calibration of an instrument allows people to have a safe working environment and produce valid data for future reference. Calibration is the process of evaluating and adjusting the precision and accuracy of measurement equipment.

Equipment calibration deals with assessing the accuracy of equipment s results by measuring the variation against a defined standard to decide upon the relevant correction factors. Scope this procedure applies to the laboratory equipment used by the laboratory of xxx. The equipment is accordingly adjusted to fine tune its performance to tally with accepted standard or specification. Reference documents 3 1 xxx quality manual 3 2 procedure for quality control 4.

The equipment that might need electrical calibration can include clamp meters data loggers and insulation testers.
