The knowledge you may need to know about the Calibrate Certificate

What is Calibration Certificate?

The calibration certificate provides valuable information on the quality and measurement accuracy of equipment. Calibration is the process used to maintain the accuracy of measuring device. This involves comparing the device to a known reference that is highly accurate in relation to the device being calibrated.

What is the Information in Calibration Certificate Included?

To better understand what a Calibration Certificate looks like, you should know it shall be include the following:
1. Title: Calibration Certificate
2. The details of the laboratory performed the calibration
3. Applicant information
4. The calibrated device name and details
5. Evidence that the measurements are traceable
6. Calibration results with respective sign conventions
7. Equipment that LISUN used to perform calibration test and the due date that the equipment will be due for re-calibration. (This ensures you that what we are calibrating your equipment with calibrated and up to date)
8. An identification code for the calibration certificate (Normally it is the combination of your account number and work order number)
9. Date that Third party lab preformed the calibration test & the date that your equipment will be due for recalibration
10. Details on the lab conditions where the calibration performed
11. Name and signature of the person who performed the calibration
12. QA Stamp (This shows that a qualified person inspected the equipment)

Types of Calibration Certificates

Calibration certificates come in various forms, each serving a unique purpose and adhering to different standards and requirements. The three primary types are Manufacturer’s Calibrate Certificate, Traceable Calibrate Certificate and Accredited Calibrate Certificate. You’ll find an explanation of each type and a comparison table to illustrate their differences as below:

Calibrate Certificate Types	Calibrating Lab Qualifications	Calibrate Certificate Features	Calibrate Certificate Application Fields
Manufacturer’s Calibrate Certificate	Calibrate based on manufactory internal Quality Standards.	Verifies compliance with design specifications and normally only marked by PASS, usually with free	Quality control in manufacturing, new equipment. Some countires or some non-standard instruments may also can pass ISO17025 based on this type certificate.
Traceable Calibrate Certificate	It is a third Calibrating Lab who may have ISO17025 but they DON’T have the ISO17025 qualifications for the instruments which you are ready to submit to calibrate	Provides the Calibrate Certificate content and format may be same as Accredited Calibrate Certificate but without iLac-MRA sign or stamp	General industrial and commercial applications, some countires or some non-standard instruments may also can pass ISO17025 based on this type certificate.
Accredited Calibrate Certificate	Requires adherence to strict standards and regular audits under ISO17025.	Offers highest reliability includes detailed uncertainty data. The Calibrate Certificate with iLac-MRA sign or stamp	They bought the instruments’ purpose to be ready to audit a ISO17025 lab

Do You Need A Calibration Certificate?

If you work in a regulated industry or with sensitive equipment, you may be required to have your instruments calibrated on a regular basis. Depending on your industry, there may be specific requirements for what information must be included on the certificate, but in general, it will include the name and model of the instrument, the date of calibration, the name of the laboratory that performed the calibration, and the parameters that were measured.

If you are not sure whether need a calibration certificate, you should consult with your supervisor or the regulatory body that governs your industry. Having a valid certificate can help to ensure that your equipment is accurate and up to standards, giving you peace of mind and helping to protect your business.

How Long the Valid of Calibration Certificate?

The certificate is valid at a specific period of time, after that, the equipment must be re-calibrated to ensure accuracy. The calibration certificate valid time depends on different factors, including the type of equipment being used and it using purpose.

For example, the precision instruments used in critical applications may need to be re-calibrated more frequently than those used for general applications. Normally, most calibration certificates are valid for one year. After the certificate expires, you will need to have your equipment re-calibrated in order to maintain accuracy.

Calibration Certificate Benefits

First, calibration certificates help to ensure equipment is working correctly and accurately.
Second, it can provide a record of equipment was calibrated last time, which can be important for maintaining warranty coverage or comply regulatory requirements.
Finally, a calibration certificate can also be used as a marketing tool, demonstrating to potential customers that the equipment is well-maintained and reliable. Consider all of this, the calibration certificates offer a number of important benefits for businesses and individuals

Conclusion

Calibration certificates is important because they ensure the devices used to measure or test products are accurate. This helps protect both user and manufacturer from faulty measurements or product defects. LISUN support customer to do calibrate certificate who purchased LISUN integrating sphere spectroradiometer system, goniophotometer, glow wire tester, needle flame tester and so on. LISUN all testing instruments supply the Manufacturer’s Calibrate Certificate with free which calibrate by LISUN internal lab. We also supply the Traceable Calibrate Certificate or Accredited Calibrate Certificate who has CNAS qualifications. Please note CNAS is the membership of iLac-MRA and the CNAS Calibrate Certificate can be accepted by all membership of iLac-MRA which already include about almost all countires in the world.
