Calibration certificate

A calibration certificate is a formal document that confirms the results of a calibration. It is issued by the laboratory performing the calibration and serves as evidence that an item of inspection equipment has been tested against traceable reference standards.

A calibration certificate typically contains:

  • Identification of the calibrated device (manufacturer, type, serial number, inspection equipment number)
  • Measurement results with determined deviations and measurement uncertainties
  • Reference standards against which the calibration was performed
  • Environmental conditions during calibration (temperature, humidity)
  • Date of calibration and validity period
  • Accreditation of the laboratory (e.g. DAkkS, SCS)

In Memida, calibration certificates belong to the inspection reports for the respective item of inspection equipment. You can import existing PDF and DCC calibration certificates, check the extracted inspection data, and then confirm the import. You can also record measured values and use them to create a calibration certificate. Files can be downloaded from the inspection report and through the REST API.

A digital calibration certificate (DCC) contains calibration data as an XML file following the PTB schema. For calibrations within the scope of a valid accreditation, a laboratory can issue the DCC as a DAkkS eAttestation using the digital accreditation symbol approved for that purpose. DCC in Memida explains how to seal and verify DCC files in Memida.
