I'm a bit new to this, and I started working at a small TV station recently. I've read a little bit but I'm still confused. Does the CALM act passed in 2010 apply to commercials I make? How do I measure my ads and what maximum value can I hit? Should I get the other commercial producers to also comply, or does it not matter?

Besides my answer below, feel free to edit your question to narrow it if some points remain unclear after reading the A/85 document. – audionuma Oct 21 '18 at 4:56
Although I am not a lawyer, I believe that the CALM act does apply to commercials, either the ones you produce in-house or the one provided by a third party (as I suppose you are in the US).
For the technical aspects of achieving such compliance, the ATSC A/85:2013 seems a good starting point.
