We welcome you to register to the interlaboratory calibration of automatic pipettes
Goal of inetrlaboratory calibration:
The purpose of the interlaboratory calibration is to provide an opportunity to meet the requirements of the EVS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard to ensure the authenticity of calibration laboratory results. Although the accreditation criteria currently state that reference measurements must be participated in at least once every 5 years, it is recommended to participate more frequently and the larger the number of participants in the reference measurement, the better. If you have only participated in reference measurements with 2-3 laboratories or have done so only a few years ago, then it is advisable to participate in reference measurements with a large number of participants and set your plan for participating in reference measurements accordingly, since the next opportunity may not be until 5 years later..
The organization of reference calibration is based on the EVS-EN ISO/IEC 17043:2023 standard.
Calibration objects and calibration points:
The reference calibration objects are manufactured by Sartorius and the models are:
Picus LH-747021
calibration points 0.1 μl; 2 μl; 5 μl; 10 μl
Tacta LH-729060
calibration points 20 μl; 100 μl; 200 μl
Tacta LH-729090
calibration points 1 ml; 5 ml; 10 ml
If any calibration point is outside the scope of a participant’s accreditation, this does not mean that the remaining points cannot be attended.

- The organization of comparison measurements is based on the EVS-EN ISO/IEC 17043:2023 standard.
- The methodological basis for calibration may be EVS-EN ISO 8655-1:2022 or another method based on a similar principle.
Approval criteria: The En number is used to assess the agreement between laboratories.
Comparison scheme: circular scheme
Target group: accredited calibration laboratories and laboratories that wish to obtain confirmation of their measurement capabilities
Timeline:
The schedule for the reference calibration depends on the number of participants. Each laboratory is allocated 3 working days to calibrate the calibration objects. After the last calibration, data analysis is carried out and a preliminary report is issued within 2 weeks after the arrival of the last calibration results.
If necessary, the deadline for the final report will be postponed by a maximum of 2 weeks if there are valid reasons for the interpretation of the results.
The participation fee per participant is 380 euros (VAT is added to the price), which must be paid based on the invoice.
Payment and withdrawal: The participation fee must be paid based on the invoice submitted, by the specified payment deadline. In case of withdrawal from participation or failure to submit results, the participation fee will not be refunded.
Registration is open until 22. april 2026
