Is vernier caliper a compulsory inspection measuring instrument?

Measuring instruments are divided into compulsory inspection and non-compulsory inspection. Compulsory inspection refers to the compulsory implementation by the national metrology department.

Non-compulsory inspection, such as vernier caliper, is managed by our own unit and supervised by the government. Calipers are considered as an optional inspection of working measuring instruments. However, it is required to use standard measuring instruments for verification on a regular basis, and your unit does not have standard measuring instruments, so you have to send them out for verification.
