Measuring instrument verification schedule
Verification of measuring instruments. Thermometers and scales must have a valid verification certificate. Without it, their readings are not legally valid.
What this log is for
Thermometer and scale verification is mandatory for production facilities supplying retail chains. Calibration and verification are different procedures: the former adjusts the instrument, while the latter confirms its accuracy with a document. WeSetup automatically calculates the next verification date and attaches a scanned certificate.
