ISO 8655 is an international standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for piston-operated volumetric apparatus used in laboratory settings, such as pipettes, burettes, and dispensers. It covers aspects such as systematic and random errors to ensure reliable, consistent volume measurements.
The guideline provides procedures for calibration, performance verification, and maintenance to help users maintain the quality and traceability of their volumetric equipment.

The frequency of calibration depends on several factors. At a minimum, we recommend calibrating your pipette at least once a year. Consider how often the pipettes are used, the level of precision required for your experiments or applications, and the potential risks associated with inaccurate results.
For high-accuracy needs, it is advisable to calibrate your pipette every three to six months to minimize the chance of failure.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of your pipette is always recommended in the lab. If you start to see rusting or other stains on the outside of your pipette then it is highly likely that there is damage inside the device.
If you notice any leaking during pipetting or difficulty in transferring liquids, it indicates that the pipette requires servicing and repair. To extend the lifespan of your pipette, it is recommended to follow a regular maintenance and calibration schedule.
Yes, in many countries, METTLER TOLEDO offers on-site technician services who can visit your lab to perform maintenance and calibration, minimizing downtime and ensuring your equipment stays operational.
