Best practice (industry standard) is to calibrate torque wrenches at least once per year, or more frequently if used heavily or in critical applications. Alternatively, many organizations follow either the manufacturer's recommendation (typically annual) or a usage-based interval (e.g., every 5,000 cycles or 12 months, whichever comes first).
