A method for calibrating a test object (120; 320) comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of calibration masters by means of a calibration system, wherein a calibration master indicates the following: an associated test object (120; 320); a calibration method including at least one calibration value, which calibration method is provided for the associated test object (120; 320); a measured variable for the associated test object (120; 320); selecting a calibration master that the test object (120; 320) is associated with; defining standards for the calibration of the test object (120; 320), the standards comprising: a method for calculating the position of measured values of the measured variable in relation to the respective calibration value and/or a measurement uncertainty; a specification associated with the calibration value, wherein the specification is determined in relation to the test object (120; 320); defining testing equipment (130; 330) suitable for the indicated measured variable; the method further comprising the steps of: creating measured variables for each calibration value using the defined testing equipment (130; 330); and transferring each of the measured variables from the testing equipment (130; 330) to the test object (120; 320), wherein the test object (120; 320) creates respective measured values in response to the transferred measured variables; detecting the respective created measured values by means of the calibration system; identifying, by means of the calibration system, the position of each of the detected measured values in relation to the determined specification using the method for position calculation in order to check whether the respective measured value is within the determined specification, wherein the position is calculated for each measured value after detection thereof; performing conformity checks for each of the detected measured values; identifying, by means of the calibration system on the basis of the performed conformity checks, whether or not the conformity assessment of the calibration of the test object (120; 320) has been successful; performing, for each of the detected measured values, a plausibility check by means of the calibration system, in order to check whether the respective measured value is obviously faulty, and in order to check whether or not the calibration of the test object (120; 320) can be approved in a non-changeable manner. providing a plurality of calibration masters by means of a calibration system, wherein a calibration master indicates the following: an associated test object (120;
