- It's been a year (or your specified calibration interval) since the last calibration.
- The readings appear inconsistent or inaccurate when compared to a known reference or standard.
- The thermometer has experienced physical shock, exposure to extreme environments, or rough handling.
- There are signs of drift or error outside the manufacturer’s specified tolerance.
- Regulatory or quality standards (such as ISO or GMP) require it to be calibrated prior to certain testing or reporting activities.
