    Recommended Calibration Interval-NIST

    Uploaded by

    juncar25
    NIST does not require or recommend specific recalibration intervals for measuring instruments. Intervals depend on accuracy requirements, contractual obligations, an instrument's inherent stability, and environmental factors. NIST recommends that laboratories adopt measurement assurance programs to characterize instruments' short- and long-term behavior through control charts. This data can be used to determine initial recalibration intervals and validate or refine them over time.

    Recommended Calibration Interval
    Q. Does NIST require or recommend specific recalibration intervals for measuring instruments, devices or calibration standards?

    A. In general, NIST does not require or recommend any set recalibration interval for measuring instruments, devices, or standards. Specific recalibration
    intervals depend on a number of factors including:

    Accuracy requirements set by customers

    Requirements set by contract or regulation

    Inherent stability of the specific instrument or device

    Environmental factors that may affect the stability

    In the absence of other external requirements for specific intervals, NIST recommends that calibration and measurement laboratories adopt internal
    measurement assurance programs that include cross­comparisons of primary and secondary measurement standards. Recording and analyzing the resulting
    data in control charts can be used to characterize the short and long­term behavior of specific devices. This time­dependent behavior can be compared to the
    accuracy requirements of the particular application to determine an initial recalibration interval. Subsequently, recalibration reports should include "as
    submitted" and "post calibration" accuracy and precision data to validate and/or refine the interval.

    NCSLI has a recommended practice that can help you determine a reasonable recalibration interval based on your own situation:
