The law does not require calibration at all, so logically it cannot require recalibration.

Hi all,
St. John's Lane in Bristol, near the junction with Littleton Lane, has had a speed camera for many years. On the 13th November 2024, the speed limit was changed from 30 to 20 in the area covered by this automated speed camera. This was done very quietly, by extending an existing 20 zone with just more small 20 signs. This has caught many locals out.
I am looking at a NIP to registered keeper, and on viewing the calibration certificate for the device (attached), it was last calibrated before it was modified to function for the new 20 limit.
On the certificate, you can see a space for "Any Changes?", thus implying that re-calibration after changes can be a protocol.
Does anybody know whether it is a legal requirement to re-calibrate devices after changes (such as mandated limit for device functionality)?
As an IT professional, I would say yes, but does anybody know what the law says?
Many thanks for any help.
