Thermco® Thermometer Recertification, 1 Temperature Point

Many factors determine recertification of thermometers, such as usage, temperatures measured, in-house procedures, and regulatory agencies' guidelines and policies. As a general guideline for good laboratory and manufacturing practices, thermometers should be recertified / verified on an annual basis.

• Complete visual inspection for any physical damage
• If possible the damage will be repaired
• Thermometer readings are compared against NIST standards in high precision calibration baths using the comparison method at determined test temperatures
• Each temperature is recorded to 1/10th of a scale division
• A calibration report is generated detailing the pertinent information including the correction factors for each test point
• All calibration information is entered into the THERMCO data storage system
• All certification procedures are performed in accordance with NIST and ASTM guidelines, which meet with requirements set by regulatory agencies
