Verified 2026-10-27 Confidence: High

A maker's introduction to calibration describes it as the comparison of a device under test whose value is unknown against a reference standard whose value is known, and insists that the standard carries a known uncertainty lower than that of the device being calibrated. It describes a calibration as running through an as-found check, an adjustment where one is needed, and an as-left check that is required whenever the instrument has been adjusted.
