Calibration of balances
Any balance will only give correct results if it is checked regularly, i.e. calibrated correctly and adjusted when required. So a balance is only a reliable measuring and checking tool if it 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.
As a customer you have the following options:
