3.1 Terms and definitions
3.1.1
verification
confirmation and provision of evidence that the specified requirements have been fulfilled
Note 1 to entry: In connection with the management of measuring equipment, verification provides a means for
checking that the deviations between values indicated by a measuring instrument and corresponding known values
of a measured quantity are consistently smaller than the maximum allowable error defined in a standard, regulation
or specification peculiar to the management of the measuring equipment.
Note 2 to entry: The result of verification leads to a decision to either restore to service, perform adjustments,
repair, downgrade or declare obsolete. A written trace of the verification performed is kept on the measuring
instrument's individual record.

4 Frequency and kind of verification
The frequency and the type of the checks depends on the requirements of the contracting parties, taking
into account the requirements of the manufacturer and user while respecting mandatory regulations.
For accuracy class lower than 0,5 particular attention should be given ensuring standard equipment and
uncertainty requirements when verifications are done on-site.
Verification shall allow traceability of the measurement done prior to verifications and that the
equipment is within the specifications for the next period. See Figure 1.

Accordance of the equipment to the standard is determined taking into consideration the uncertainty, the
error of measurement plus the uncertainty shall be equal or less than the class of equipment.
A guidance is found in Annex C while Annex D gives guidance to the determination of the expanded
uncertainty.
