Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, or repair units, or perform calibration, validation, or certification activities.  \n􀀂 The product Technical Manual may provide additional information on calibration procedures.  \nThe transition from analog meters to digital displays brought a new level of accuracy to weld parameter control and indication on Miller welding equipment. This evolution in technology also prompted changes in procedures for weld meter testing and calibration. In February of 2002, Miller released a document entitled Welding Equipment Meter Calibration. This was a collection of articles from Miller’s Techline newsletters that provided definitions, guidelines, and resources to help service technicians support their customers’ calibration needs.  \nMuch has changed since that time. Developments in technology, products and regulatory standards have required the technical staff at Miller to revisit the topic of weld meter calibration. The result is the document you are now reading. It replaces the 2002 document and its purpose is to provide information aligned with current technology and industry standards. It defines the terminology of welding variables, test procedures and requirements. It also discusses documentation related to equipment manufacturing and servicing. The intention is to help machine owners and technicians understand the service requirements of welding equipment and indication devices, and to understand the related service options.  \nSECTION 2 − INDUSTRY STANDARDS  \n\n| |\n| --- |\n| 12.0\u003Cbr>85.0\u003Cbr>AMPERAGE\u003Cbr>V A\u003Cbr>VOLTAGE |\n\nThe regulations that pertain to welding power equipment design and calibration come from multiple sources. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the international standards and conformity assessment body for all fields of electrotechnology. Safety and performance requirements for the manufacture of welding equipment are defined in IEC 60974−1: 2008 − Arc Welding Equipment Part 1: Welding Power Sources. This international standard has been adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) with modifications as ANSI/IEC 60974−1: 2008 − American National Standard for Arc Welding Equipment, to apply to equipment manufactured in the United States.  \nFigure 2-1. Sources Of Different Standards That Regulate Calibration Activities  \nStandards for calibration of welding equipment after entry into service are also defined by various agencies.
