Get ready for the new ISO 8655:2022 – update your calibration software now
The ISO 8655 series is the most important standard for the calibration of micro pipettes, bottle-top dispensers, or other volumetric instruments with reciprocating pistons
The new version includes changes that should be considered in any calibration
The new version of ISO 8655:2022, which is currently being implemented in national standards, includes changes that should be considered in any calibration.
These include:
- For small-volume volumetric instruments (e.g., pipettes in the lower microliter range), the error limits are adjusted
- Many Liquid Handling instruments that were between the listed nominal volumes in ISO 8655:2022 have tighter error limits to meet in the new standard
- The number of measurements required is increased
- The measuring ranges of the scales to be used for calibration have been changed
EASYCAL™ 5 offers automatic lifetime updates
In addition to the adjustments to the test plans, the calibration software must also be updated to reflect the changes to the standard. BRAND's EASYCAL™ 5 software offers automatic updates. All that is required is an Internet connection and the user's consent.
