You may not have wanted to hear from the manufacturer on this one, but
here goes. :-)
At a bare minimum the Calibration reference should be exchanged for a
new one. This is the ruler the device is being calibrated by and aging,
use, environment etc, all can change the reference. The DTP41-100KIT
gives you a new reference, and the requisite values that can be loaded
via our ToolCrib software.
Should the instrument itself be certified? I'd say yes, but then maybe
the reason X-Rite hired me in the first place is I always had my
instruments maintained on a regular basis! If your ISO9000 certified, it
probably already part of your procedures.
I look at it this way, when I commuted to and from work 190 miles a day
(don't ask!) I relied on my car to be in top shape, and maintained it
that way. Now that I live 5 minutes from work, and can walk if it breaks
down, I'm not as worried about it. How important is the process that
your DTP41 is keeping in control?

Hello,
I have a 2 year old X-Rite DTP-41UV. The calibration certificate
indicates
that after 2 years I should have X-Rite re-calibrate the device. Is it
likely that the device will lose much accuracy after 2 years?
