1.Certificate ID: ID of the ACC Calibration Certificate to which the Moisture Annex is assigned.
2. Temperature Test: The test verifies whether the heating unit reaches and maintains the target temperature within a defined tolerance. At least two readings (two test points) must be performed. These test points and their corresponding temperature values apply to as-found only. (Note: As-left data is shown when another temperature test has been chosen for as-left instead of the SmartCal test.)
3. As-Found & As-Left: The Moisture Analyzer Certificate includes the assessment before (as-found) and after (as-left) any adjustment or repair. As-found data is important to determine if the validity of previous measurements has been adversely affected.
4. Thermometer Details: Shows an extract of the Calibration Certificate. Shows the conventional test value (CTV) for the test points. E.g., if the kit has a CTV of 101°C, the expected reading on the kit is 101°C at a set target temperature of 100°C.
5. SmartCal Test: The SmartCal test is primarily used for as-left testing, evaluating the performance of both the weighing and heating units simultaneously. It is highly sensitive to temperature variations and specifically designed to verify the accuracy of the heating unit.
In addition, SmartCal can be used for routine testing, providing a simple and efficient solution by checking both units in a single step. This approach saves time, reduces errors, and ensures comprehensive performance control—unlike traditional substances such as sodium tartrate or NaCl solution, which offer only limited verification.

6. Test Conditions: For traceability, this section documents the material used as well as the conditions and settings applied during the SmartCal test. Influencing factors such as temperature and humidity are recorded because they are used to normalize the result, ensuring it is reproducible.
7. Test Results: The displayed values from the instrument and the normalized result are listed (as-left and as-found). Normalization adjusts the result to the standard conditions of 20 °C and 50% relative humidity, allowing reproducibility and comparability even when the actual test conditions (temperature and humidity) differ.
