Digital technologies have proved their usefulness in instrumentation and measurements since many years, becoming a “must have”. The use of microprocessors and microcontrollers in measuring instruments became a common practice, bringing the advantage of signal and information processing at the instrument level, digital interfaces, remote control, software update and calibration. Thus, the instrument can be calibrated and verified being connected in an automated calibration system which can carry all the process without the operator interference and to generate in the end the calibration certificate. The paper presents the possibility of joining the automated calibration system and the creation of a Digital Calibration Certificate (DCC) with the Blockchain technology for storing and validation. As benefits there are the traceability of the DCC, the impossibility of altering the information and the preservation of the full history in the digital wallet.
