If a calibration due date is not indicated on the calibration label, this means
that the calibration certificate for your instrument has been modified to
follow the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.

EXFO recommends that an annual calibration be performed on your
instrument to ensure that it remains within the published specifications.
However, as prescribed by the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, this date can only
be set by you.

You should indicate the calibration due date in the space provided on the
calibration label.
