Hi Poki,

OPT3001 is calibrated to +/- 10% if this is okay for your needs and no glass is placed over the sensor then no calibration is needed. If glass or a cover is placed over sensor then the transmission of the glass should be checked. As transmission decreases error will increase and calibration may be needed.

Please see here for more details on accuracy: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/808110

and here for details if a glass is placed on top of sensor: https://e2e.ti.com/support/sensors/f/1023/t/884142

Best.
