- | Most M&TE are on arbitrary 12 month calibration intervals... as if “one size” fits all. These are typically “manufacturer recommended intervals” - which are often extremely conservative because the manufacturer wants their calibration labs to stay busy. And most companies happily pay them to do so. Yes… over-calibrating M&TE reduces risk… but only to a degree((A MUCH better way to reduce risk is to increase the minimum " | + | Most M&TE are on arbitrary 12 month calibration intervals... as if “one size” fits all.
