The DKD calibration certificate for force-measurement
Through the force-measurement accreditation from KERN, DKD calibration of your force-measuring devices means that we can meet the highest requirements. With test stands and measuring procedures designed for this purpose, our specialists can calibrate your checking equipment to the latest test methodology in our laboratory.

1. “Official” document
The DKD calibration laboratory KERN (DKD-K-11801) is accredited through the accreditation point of the German calibration service. The DKD calibration certificate is recognised internationally and is available in several languages.
2. Traceability
The reference standards of the accredited laboratory are monitored in strictly defined cycles and periodically brought into line with national and thereby international standards. This is carefully documented and given on the DKD calibration certificate. In this way the basic fundamental traceability to the national standard is ensured.
3. Identification
On the first page of the DKD calibration certificate you will clearly see the applicant or owner of the calibrated checking equipment.
4. Item to be calibrated
The calibration item as well as the type or model with serial number is documented. This means that there is no confusion and guarantees the assignment of the DKD calibration certificate to a specific balance.
5. Environmental conditions
The environmental conditions during calibration are given here, such as the current temperature, the relative humidity and the air pressure at that point in time.
6. Metrological part
In this part of the calibration certificate, the measurement obtained and the measuring results are shown, such as, for example, arithmetic mean, calibration final value deviation, relative hysteresis error and much more.
7. Measuring uncertainty
When obtaining any technical measurement, there is a particular uncertainty when trying to determine an exact value. This so-called measuring uncertainty should objectify measuring results, by establishing to what degree the measurement is expected to deviate from the true value. Determining and declaring the measuring uncertainty is of great significance, because the smaller this is, the more accurate the obtained weight.
8. Compensation calculation
By using the compensation calculation there is the possibility of obtaining the measured value of the force-measurement device by using the measuring point selected at the calibration, and extending this over the whole measuring range. This compensation calculation is shown as a formula as well as in table form.
