Calibration is crucial in various industries and fields where precise and accurate measurements are essential. It ensures that instruments used in manufacturing, engineering, laboratory testing, scientific research, and other areas provide consistent and trustworthy results. By regularly calibrating instruments, organizations can maintain quality control, meet regulatory requirements, and make informed decisions based on reliable data.

Accurate calibration relies on using traceable reference standards that have a known and documented accuracy. These reference standards are often calibrated by accredited calibration laboratories that have the expertise and equipment to provide accurate and reliable measurements.
