Verification or calibration
”Required by law” or “a metrological requirement”
1. General information
What is verification?“, „ Which cases require a verification and which a calibration?“, „Is a factory calibration sufficient?“ all these are questions we are frequently asked by our customers. For this reason, JAKO has developed a guideline that shows the reasons, purposes, benefits as well as the forms of conformity certificates and the validity periods in a comparison matrix. The following services are compared:
- Verification
- Calibration
- Factory test
2. Table: Comparison between verification, ÖKD calibration, factory test
Verifcation | Calibration | Factory test report | |
---|---|---|---|
VERIFICATION- only when required by law, e.g. when measuring devices are used for:
|
CALIBRATION (accredited, ÖKD) -especially when metrological safety is required, e.g.:
|
FACTORY TEST REPORT - only if a monitoring of the functioning of test equipment is sufficient, e.g.:
|
|
Determination of the suitability of a measuring device for a specific application
|
Determination of the uncertainty of measurement for reliable measurement results
|
Determination of the device function!

The stamping mark is valid for a fixed period (minimum 1 year) depending on the accuracy class | Only valid for the time of calibration |
Only valid for the time of test |
