Calibration is important as it helps ensure accurate measurements. Accurate measurement is the foundation of quality, safety, and innovation in most products and services we use and depend on daily. Few people realise the vital role and importance of calibration in everyday life. Calibration improves the assurance of accurate measurements required for research, development, innovation, and production of millions of products and services around the world. Stop and take a quick look around the room. Most of what you see is manufactured within strict measurement specifications backed by calibration.

The importance of calibration will continue to increase. As technology pushes further, measurements need to be more accurate, and calibration becomes more critical. In the future, even more technologically advanced transport systems are expected, requiring more precise measurements that must be guaranteed by calibration. For example, consider the self-driving cars we see on the road today. This will become increasingly important as part of future transportation systems. Knowing that the accuracy of self-driving car precision measurement systems passes the higher level of assurance offered by calibration, we all feel a little queasy about self-driving cars. It will get better.

The purpose of calibration is to ensure accurate measurements. Benefits of calibration include: - Increase profitability by increasing revenue or reducing costs. and help both - Increase sales by helping manufacturers and service providers deliver quality products and services, earning good customer reviews and loyal customers. - Reduce costs and save money by reducing manufacturing errors and recalls, eliminating wrong product acceptances and rejections, and extending the life of manufacturing equipment.
