Frequently Asked Questions about 45°/0° Directional Reference Tiles:

What’s the difference between evaluated and unevaluated tiles?

Evaluated tiles include certified color values and traceability documentation, ideal for checking and maintaining instrument accuracy. Unevaluated tiles have the same material and finish but are intended for general visual assessment without traceability requirements.

Can I use these tiles for calibration?

No. These tiles are for ongoing performance checks, visual assessments, and process control—not for primary calibration. Use official calibration standards for your instrument.

How should I store my tiles?

Store in a clean, protected environment to prevent damage or contamination. The eight-slot storage case is recommended for maximum protection and organization.
