Digital Metrology

The DKD (Deutscher Kalibrierdienst / German Calibration Service)  is a forum within PTB with the aim to support the consistency of calibration in metrology. The DKD provides a platform for the professional exchange of its members, which include more than 600 german and international calibration laboratories and companies.
