Basic training course for calibrations

This basic training course is designed for laboratory managers, persons responsible for the test equipment, quality inspectors, and machine operators, and teaches the fundamentals and importance of calibrating static testing machines.

Our experts will cover the measurement uncertainty and classifications of a calibration, show you what is important when interpreting a calibration certificate and provide you with interesting facts about traceability and conformity statements. In addition to the practice-oriented communication of current guidelines for force (DIN EN ISO 7500-1) and length calibration (DIN EN ISO 9513), we provide you with an outlook on the upcoming requirements and trends in calibration.
