Control of Inspection, Measuring & Test Equipment
1. Introduction
This procedure is created for inspection, measuring and test equipment in a manner which ensures that the measuring uncertainty is known and is consistent with the required measuring capability.
2. Purpose:
To ensure and identify inspection, measuring and test equipment with a suitable indicator or approved identification record to show the calibration status:
Maintain calibration records for inspection, measuring and test equipment.
