Not sure about calibrating them. Usually manufacturer will supply certificate of conformity.
Unless its something completely different :)
RE: 'Calibration' of penetrameters
I dont think there is a an ASME code reference for this.
ASTM E-747 and E-1025 (both referenced in ASME V and ASTM E-94) describe design, manufacture and material grouping classification for wire and hole-type Image Quality Indicators (penetrameters), respectively.
As HouseHark says, a certificate provided at time of purchase confirming conformity to these standards should be sufficient evidence for an auditor. Hope to be corrected if I am wrong.

This was usually done with a comparator and electronic mikes. The only real problem I've encounter was a radiographer grahiting the holes.
