For other occasions the use of measuring equipment, organizations consider the using other methods, avoid unnecessary costs increase, the examples such as measuring the on-off circuit of universal meter, for machinery factory under the tape measure, steel ruler. Purely for monitoring of the measurement equipment, it can not be carried out cycle identification, because they do not directly confirm the product's compliance, such as the tightness of the test pressure gauge, the console voltage table, etc..

14, the service requirements of what?
