About Calibration
±
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a U.S. government agency
that calibrates and certifies thermometers and other precision instruments. When you
purchase a thermometer, look for the NIST label. The label tells you the thermometer
is calibrated and certified; it will be accurate for at least one year. Each year, NIST
thermometers must be certified to assure accuracy. This service is usually done by the
manufacturer of the thermometer or an NIST calibration laboratory.
