Accuracy of LCR meter?

OK, I stand corrected, thanks for taking the time to provide evidence. I'm appalled that they think it's OK to present their performance specs like that, but I guess I'm just naive.
bd139:
Worth pointing out that specifications are always conservative here or open to interpretation because fixture and lead capacitance and inductance is a function of the measurement methodology employed by the user. They may make up a significant portion of the measurement. This is unlike resistance which is only an issue on very low resistance measurements.

Ergo it’s better not to worry about a couple of percent and a few counts and work out what the tolerance and device spread of your design is and make sure you window values within that.
AVGresponding:
Also worth pointing out the laughably wide manufacturing tolerances on some components, notably electrolytic caps which can be as wide as +20/-80%

Edit: Might have been -20/+80% that I saw once. Either way, measuring the capacitance there would have limited use, ESR would be the better measurement.
bd139:
Usually -20% +80%. Unless it's ChongX and then you might as well ignore the label and look at the size of the can and make a finger in the air estimate.

For calibration there was an info shared by other fellow here in this forum ->

For DE-5000, adjust DC 500mV between TP1 and TP2.

For others, adjust DC 500mV between pin 26 and pin 28 on ES52920.

Be careful while calibrating these LCR meters. You need a meter with Hi-Z input impedance. Even a 10M input impedance meter loads down the reference voltages.
