The calibration procedures of charge amplifier (CA) on vibration acceleration standard are described. The calibration principle and fundamental calibration procedures are explained in detail. Typical commercial CAs (3 types, 4 CAs) are evaluated in terms of the frequency sensitivity gain, the long-term stability, the linearity for input charge, the linearity for gain setting and the effects of environmental conditions (temperature and humidity). The maximum discrepancy in the sensitivity gain is approximately 4 % among the tested CAs. A relative sensitivity gain difference of 1.5 % still remains when CAs of the same type are compared. It should be mentioned that a difference of 1.5 % is not negligible. Such a large difference has not been commonly observed up to the present time. Based on these experimental results, the technical guides for charge amplifier calibration are summarized.
