Requirements:

1. Format. Contractor format is acceptable.

2. Content. The calibration certificate or report shall include:

a. title (e.g., calibration report or calibration certificate);

b. the name and address of the laboratory, and the location where the calibrations were carried out, if different from the address of the laboratory;
