Why Calibrate?
WARFARE CENTERS
CORONA
• Ensure the readiness of test equipment to perform accurate
measurements and provide valid data
• Limit the number of erroneous test decisions
• Maintain overall measurement integrity and traceability

Accurate? Precise? Stable?
Can you trust the person collecting the data?
Can you trust the measurement instrument?
What proof do you have that the numbers reflect reality?
• Can you trust the decision you are about to
make using the collected data?
• What is the cost if you are wrong?
