Page 36: Maintenance And Practical Advice
EM TEST equipment. EM TEST doesn‟t know each customer‟s Quality Assurance Policy nor do we know how often the equipment is used and what kind of tests are performed during the life cycle of a test equipment. Only the customer knows all the details and therefore the customer needs to specify the calibration interval for his test equipment. -
Page 37: Verification
For the calibration procedure, an adequate measuring set-up must be used. The directions given in the chapter "Verification of the characteristics of the ESD generator" of the IEC 61000-4-2 standard have to be strictly followed. Only expert laboratories with adequate knowledge or EM Test or its authorized distributors are permitted to perform calibration of P30N. -
