    Under normal operating conditions a 12 month period can be expected. This is no guarantee, however, as the precise application of the product is unknown to GMI. Individual codes of practice will dictate shorter periods. Regular calibration establishes a pattern of reliability and enables the calibration check period to be modified in line with operational experience.
