4 Calibration Management Best Practices

6/16/2018

 
Regardless of the industry you work in, calibration is one of those things you simply cannot overlook. Inspection equipment needs to function reliably and accurately. Calibration ensures consistency and is a requirement of quality management standards across the globe. In this week’s blog will examine four key steps to ensure that your organization is ready for your next audit.

  1. Educate your employees- Education includes topics such as proper use, care, maintenance, and of course, procedures. In order to ensure that you properly follow all procedures, continual training is vital. Make procedures visible, frequently remind staff through email alerts or in person sessions, the importance of the calibration process, signs to look for, and what to do when you suspect equipment is out of calibration.
  2. Documentation is your friend - Good record-keeping practices benefit you in two ways: you will be prepared for any audits that may come your way, as well as reminding you when calibration dates are coming up. Proper documentation should include any information pertinent to your equipment. This includes, but is not limited to, accidents, malfunctions, part replacements, servicing, etc. A good set of records should be easy to reference and can save you time and money in the long run. 
  3. Maintain all equipment - While it may be tempting to continue to use equipment past required calibration intervals, this should be avoided at all costs. These intervals and any calibration earmarks exist for a reason. Operating past these deadlines opens up unnecessary liability.
  4. Invest in calibration management software - The right software can handle all of the above steps, except for actually calibrating the equipment.  Choose a system that uses best industry practices, digitally maintains all applicable records, and sends reminders on upcoming calibration requirements.

The Calibration process does not have to be time consuming. With the right systems in place, you will be prepared for any audit, as well as have the peace of mind that comes with protecting yourself from liability.
