Calibration & Control of Measuring and Monitoring Devices

Ref section 6.3.2 All identified measuring devices shall be checked and where necessary ajdusted based on risk assessment.

Does anyone have an example

Thanks

And the device is ?? A pressure gauge is not quite the same as a balance.

I recall posting one for typical analog balances and checkweighers some time back (search required). The precise details may also depend on the design/application, eg thermometers. There are a few examples of "this and that" on this forum.

An example would checking a thermometer. The ones we use have factory calibration certificates that are valid for 1 year. So every year, we send them in for a check up and recalibration. Every three months i do a check in boiling water (sea level) and icewater. If i get a deviation of more than the accuracy of the temperature (0.5°C) i indicate it on the thermometer.if I have a deviation of 1°C (twice the accuracy) i send them in for reclibration.

The frequency of recalibration can be determined from experience, manufactor reccomendation, frequent measuring during the first use period,...

I understand how to check items, what i am after is if i require a risk assessment to the frequency as the standards request

are you using some software for record of calibration?
