Calibration is more than comparing an instrument against a standard and issuing a certificate. Reliable calibration requires technical competence, appropriate procedures, measurement traceability, sound uncertainty evaluation, accurate documentation and professional integrity.

Calibration Quality Assurance & Professional Practice is a practical professional guide designed to help calibration engineers, laboratory professionals, quality personnel, equipment owners and organizations understand and apply the principles that support reliable calibration services and trustworthy measurement results.

The course explores the key technical and professional considerations involved in calibration quality assurance—from planning and performing calibration activities to evaluating results, documentation, certificates and customer requirements.
