original list of equipment
It could also be "primary" instead of "original".

Stephen Sadie
: original device simply for the term asked or in the context "original equipment list"

prototype
I suggest prototype in analogy to the international prototype meter in Paris.
Because of the difficulty of precisely measuring the end-to-end length of a metal bar such as the 1799 prototype, the metre was redefined in 1889[2] as the distance between precision marks on a new 'X' shaped 90% platinum 10% iridium bar at 0 °C. This alloy was used because it does not oxidize, is hard, can be highly polished, and expands or contracts very little with temperature changes. The bar was kept at the headquarters of the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) in Pavillon de Breteuil near Paris. Selected metrologists were authorized to travel there to duplicate the marks on to their own bars for regional and national prototypes.[3]

Discussion
My impression is that there are "Normale" (standards) that ascend in calibration significance. The Urgeraet in this document seems to be something that the company has that provides a reference standard for the company. It is used to calibrate the calibration devices. It is not used to measure products. It is a device with a higher level of accuracy than that of the calibration devices that are used for QA.
