Depending on usage, you might need to get them tested for flatness and linearity. Parallelism for a 0 to 1 inch mic as well

I think you misunderstood me. You mentioned that you could use the end standards to calibrate the mics. All that does is set the zero on the mic itself. Calibrating a mic consists of checking for linearity, flatness, and parallelism. Like you mentioned, it won't matter for your use.
