Training for Calibration Program

Course Objectives

• Comprehensive equipment list – To pass the ISO audit, the company must demonstrate that it has a comprehensive equipment list with controls in place for additions, subtractions and custodianship of equipment.
• Calibrated and no calibration required items properly identified – The equipment list must identify any units that do not require calibration, and controls must be in place to ensure that these units are not used in an application that will require calibration.
• Documented calibration procedures – The valid calibration procedure is based on the manufacturer’s recommendations and covers all aspects of the instrument under test.
• Equipment custodianship – There is an assignment of responsibility for ensuring equipment is returned to the calibration lab.
• An OOT investigation log – For any instrument found OOT, an investigation must be performed and recorded.
• Proper documentation – All critical aspects of the calibration must be properly documented for the certificate to be recognized by an ISO auditor.
• Proper recall system – A procedure should be established that includes timeframes for recall notification, an escalation procedure and provisions for due-date extension.
