The accuracy of the calibration of a Mott polarimeter with a recently suggested method that uses an auxiliary target is compared with the accuracy obtained with the classical double-scattering experiment in its improved form. It turns out that the former method is affected by depolarization of the polarized incident beam in the auxiliary target. This systematic error source can, however, be eliminated by performing an additional asymmetry measurement.
