A comparison of a measurement standard or instrument of unknown accuracy to detect, correlate, report, or eliminate by adjustment of any variation in the accuracy of the unknown standard or instrument.

(ISO) The set of operations which establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by a measuring instrument or measuring system, or values represented by a material measure or a reference material, and the corresponding values of a quantity realized by a reference standard.

(ICH Q7) The demonstration that a particular instrument or device produces results within specified limits by comparison with those produced by a reference or traceable standard over an appropriate range of measurements.

Ensuring continuous adequate performance of sensing, measurement, and actuating equipment with regard to specified accuracy and precision requirements.

The agreed specified working accuracy of the instrument.

The limits set for instrument failure, as determined by the process requirements.

Lists all instruments which must be considered for calibration showing the device, process system, calibration, criticality etc.

Frequency of scheduled calibrations.

Specified range over which the instrument is calibrated. This should be greater than the process range.

Document summarizing the results of a calibration activity.

Indication of instrument compliance at a fixed point in time.

(IEEE) A diagram that identifies the modules in a system or computer program and shows which modules call one another. Note: The result is not necessarily the same as that shown in a structure chart. Synonyms: Call Tree, Tier Chart.

Any of several approximately equal units of heat, each measured as the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) gram of water by 1°C from a standard initial temperature, specially from 3.98°C, 14.5°C, or 19.5°C, at a constant pressure of one (1) atmosphere. Also called “gram calorie”, “small calorie”.The unit of heat equal to 1/100 the quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one (1) gram of water from 0°C to 100°C at one (10 atmosphere pressure. Also called “mean calorie”.The unit required to raise the temperature of one (1) Kilogram of water by 1°C at one (1) atmosphere pressure. Also called “kilogram calorie”, “large calorie”.

Analytical method that measures heat loss or gain resulting from physical or chemical changes in a sample. Differential scanning calorimetry compares the results of heating a sample to those for heating a reference material. For example, a method to measure the temperature at which the sample crystallizes, changes phases, or decomposes.
