There are 2 types of calibration intervals that we need to complete here, these are:
Initial Calibration Interval
Final or Fixed Calibration Interval
First, let us determine some main objectives for implementing calibration interval analysis.
4 Major Objectives For Implementing Calibration Interval Analysis
To designate Initial Calibration Intervals – this is the starting calibration interval based on experience and recommendations.
Use to extend interval of calibration – this means that a given calibration interval will be extended for a specific period until a fixed interval is reached. This is also applicable like for example during this pandemic where calibration is difficult to access and we want to extend a little more temporarily.
Use to reduce interval of calibration – this is applicable when we encounter out of tolerance where calibration is reduced as per implementation rule. See below example presentation
Use to determine the fixed calibration interval (final interval) – this is the main calibration interval that we need to achieve based on actual use which should be adequately justified
