The heart of calibration and verification The principle When should you carry out DAkkS calibration? Every electronic measuring device will only give correct results if it is checked regularly, i.e. calibrated correctly and adjusted when required. An electronic balance, test weight or another measuring device is only a reliable measuring and checking tool if it is calibrated and this calibration is documented as part of a quality procedure. DAkkS calibration is always necessary, when checking equipment is to be used in a QM process (e.g. in accordance with ISO 9000ff, TS 16949, VDA, FDA, GLP,...

The balance Calibration of balances Any balance will only give correct results if it is checked regularly, i.e. calibrated correctly and adjusted when required. A balance is only a reliable measuring and checking tool if it is calibrated and this calibration is documented. The issued DAkkS calibration certificates are proof of the metrological traceability to national and international standards, as required by the DIN EN ISO 9000 and DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 standards, amongst others. KERN recommends a recalibration period of one year. The standard does not give a defined recalibration period. KERN...

Adjustment at the location of installation Pricing table for adjustment at the location of installation Adjustment at the location of installation is necessary, as the measuring results of balances depend on the local gravitational force (gravitational acceleration) and therefore depend on the location of use. KERN can carry this out just before shipping at the factor, individually to suit the location of installation. What are the advantages of carrying out adjustment at the location of installation? For adjustment to the location of installation you need the value for gravitational acceleration...
