Optional Calibration & Certification

Add an optional calibration certificate to document your instrument’s performance before use and support your quality records. Find out below what testing is included and what your certificate provides.

Who issues the certificate?	The calibration certificate is issued by SAUTER GmbH.
What testing is included?	Following a functional check, the tester undergoes indirect UCI calibration based on DIN 50159-2. Five measurements are taken on each hardness reference block, with the probe held vertically using an alignment ring. The test force and reference hardness values are recorded for the instrument being calibrated.
What does the certificate report?	The certificate identifies the instrument, reference blocks, test settings and calibration conditions. It reports individual readings, mean values, measurement error, repeatability and expanded measurement uncertainty.
