After the repair or adjustment of measuring instruments subject to the calibration obligation, their correctness must be checked and confirmed by recalibration. Especially in the case of stationary measuring instruments, the competent calibration authority is not able to calibrate the devices immediately. However, a so-called repair indicator allows continued operation until recalibration. Only repairers with a special authority may affix the mark.
