Information on calibrating the device
The device has a MIDDeclaration of Conformity which replaces
the initial calibration by a calibration authority. The validity of
this declaration expires 8years after placing on the market.
Afterwards the user of the measuring device is obliged to have
the device recalibrated. Further information can be obtained
from your national calibration authority.
Note
If you are in the position as measuring instrument
operator or if you have been assigned by the
measuring instrument operator to record measured
values, you shall, depending on the intended purpose,
register the usage of new or renewed measuring
devices to your responsible calibration authority
within6hours after initial operation. In this case,
please contact your national verification authority.
To manage the MIDdevices used, you will find a
ready-made form in the appendix or under:

Declaration of conformity
The device has a factory calibration which replaces the initial
calibration by a calibration authority. This is certified by a
MIDDeclaration of Conformity according to
EUDirective2014/32/EU. The validity of this declaration expires
8years after placing on the market. Afterwards the user of the
measuring device is obliged to have the device recalibrated. The
year of initial calibration is indicated on the device after
theCEmark. Example:
M19
0120
M19: The device was manufactured and first calibrated in2019.
If the device is also placed on the market in2019, the
calibration validity ends at the end of2027. If the device is not
placed on the market until2020, the calibration validity ends at
