To avoid mistake of any products, material measurement it’s necessary to made calibration.

What are requirements of LAB for calibration?

As per ISO 9001 & TS 16949 etc… Standards are refer that NABL approved lab can calibrate instruments, NABL approved labs adequate procedures, standards according to ISO/IEC 17025.
