A general rule for Beamex MC6, is to start with a one-year calibration period as the MC6 has a one-year uncertainty specified. The calibration period can be changed in the future as you get cumulated stability history, which is compared with uncertainty requirements. In any case, there are many issues to be considered when deciding the calibration period of a calibrator, or any measuring equipment.

This article discusses some of the things to be considered when specifying the calibration period and provides some general guidelines. The same guidelines that apply to a calibrator also apply to other measuring equipment in the traceability chain. These guidelines can even be used for process instrumentation…
