How often should packaging test equipment be calibrated?

For reliable, audit-ready data, a rigorous calibration schedule is essential. We recommend:

• Annual Calibration: A full, traceable calibration by an accredited lab for all critical sensors (load cells, accelerometers, displacement transducers) to ensure absolute accuracy against national standards.

• Regular Verification: Frequent “in-house” checks (e.g., monthly or quarterly) using certified reference weights or calibration fixtures to confirm system stability and repeatability between annual calibrations.

• Event-Based Recalibration: Immediate recalibration after any event that could affect measurement integrity, such as equipment relocation, physical shock, or a major repair.
  Derui offers comprehensive calibration services and support plans to help you maintain this schedule, ensuring your lab’s data is always defensible.
