The reliability and quality of the results of a clinical laboratory, are dependent on the quality of the equipment where they are processed. The quality of a product is to present results with a metrological reliability according to the measuring processes carried out. Thus, measuring equipment must contain metrological characteristics according to the requirements of the processes that are included, such as: maximum error, uncertainty, resolution ... All equipment for very good they are, show losses of its metrological characteristics over time, it becomes important to determine its periodic calibrations, maintenance and its adjustment. The frequency of calibrations should be based on well-established criteria in order to avoid the occurrence of non-compliance due to the measurements with the equipment beyond its specifications, thus ensuring the metrological reliability and increased productivity due to the control of processes, thus avoiding any kind of damage on the part thereof. The normative and Quality Certification as a requirement to establish calibration of measuring equipment at appropriate intervals, but not clearly stipulate the proper range. It is important to manage the steps of calibration and maintenance equipment according to ensure that the results emitted by these conditions are maintained in trusted within the period between calibrations and maintenance, sothat there occurs a fault condition, and therefore, large amount of measurements with errors Laboratories
