The presentation, reflecting the content of ALogP-33, details the creation and need for the new calibration certificate but also the responsibility of the owner of test & measurement equipment and of the service provider. Within ALogP-33.2 methods used to determine the appropriate calibration interval, based on RP-1, puts the burden on the owner of the test & measurement equipment to include the environmental condition of the test & measurement equipment used.
