Why Calibrate?
We all know that calibration is mandated by the Food and Drug Administration, ISO 9001 and ISO 13485, but beyond meeting regulatory requirements, we at Coastal Calibration Laboratories strongly believe that calibration makes good business sense. As equipment ages and undergoes seasonal or daily changes in temperature and humidity or sustains mechanical stress, critical performance gradually degrades. This is called drift. When this happens, your test results become unreliable and both design and production quality suffer. While drift cannot be eliminated, it can be detected and trended through the process of calibration. Properly calibrated equipment gives you the confidence of knowing that your products/ services meet their specifications. |
