Calibration is basically a way of making sure your testers results are accurate! It is a requirement for your tester to be calibrated.

o right so it would make sense to get it done, is there more than one type of calibration or is it just yes or no ? because thought i saw type 1 calibration and type 2 but probly mistaken ?

Nope as far as I am aware calibration is calibration...
