Yeah, I was going to say this. Requirements to have all the equipment with an up-to-date cal done by someone who theoretically knows what they are doing, are pretty common. At my job, depending on what you are doing, this may be required to be NIST traceable too. So in the case of the 53310A, it's no more complicated than connecting a NIST traceable 5V source and letting the self cal routines run, but it's still going to be required.

Some companies have ISO or other certifications that require all test equipment (there are some exceptions if marked Not Subject To Periodic Calibration or similar) be periodically calibrated by a certified test/cal facility.? I once got some of my personal HP equipment calibrated for free because I had brought it into the R&D Lab where I worked.? They didn't have all the gear I needed for a project so I brought in what I needed from home.? During the product's development they started work on getting an ISO certification that required all equipment in the lab and production areas to have current calibration stickers.? They calibrated my gear knowing it was going back home with me at some point, a sweet deal!
