ISO/IEC 17025:2017
6.4.10:
When intermediate checks
are necessary to maintain confidence in the performance of the equipment, these
checks shall be carried out according to a procedure.
7.7.1: The
laboratory shall have a procedure for monitoring the validity of results. The
resulting data shall be recorded in such a way that trends are detectable …..
statistical techniques shall be applied to review the result (7.7.1 e: Intermediate checks on
measuring equipment).
CAL LAB
ACCESS, LLC have developed an intermediate checklist to meet the above
requirements. It consists of key test points to cover the complete range of the
calibrator (lab equipment), you as a lab in-charge can decide how often you want
to conduct an intermediate check on each of the instrument (monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually). Most of the laboratories conduct quarterly study on their
critical instruments (calibrators) such as Fluke-5700, Fluke 5522A,
Fluke-5520A, Fluke-5500A, Wavetek-9100, etc.
This
checklist consists of 5 OEM recommended verification test data points with
control charts on each point detecting the trends over time, also comes with 80
% guard band limit control charts to provide you an advance notification on the
calibrator, so that you may take an appropriate action (or) reduce the
calibration cycle. On the other hand, these charts will also help you to decide
on extending the calibration cycle of the calibrator.
We also,
have intermediate checklist(s) on other calibrators….
