Calibration ensures the instruments in use are giving the correct readings. The device measures according to the standards set forth by national and international groups like the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It allows for comparing the device output to a reference standard and making necessary adjustments to align the measurements.

It is conducted to ensure there are no systematic errors in the measurement equipment, considering different factors like instrument drift, environmental conditions, and wear and tear. Through regular calibration, it is possible to retain the accuracy and confidence of the measurements. For instance, while measuring temperature, a thermometer is calibrated by comparing its readings to a calibrated reference thermometer placed in a

controlled environment. Discrepancies are adjusted to the instrument's readings, resulting in more accurate temperature measurements. Besides retaining consistency, the process of calibration also ensures accuracy. If a device measures and reads the same each time, it should show accuracy.
