1 Perform calibrations and verifications more frequently than we specify, according to measurement system manufacturer instructions and good engineering judgment.
2 Perform linearity verification either for electrical power or for current and voltage.
3 The CVS verification described in § 1065.341 is not required for systems that agree within ±2% based on a chemical balance of carbon or oxygen of the intake air, fuel, and diluted exhaust.
