Cross Precision Measurement is Your One Stop Shop to Help with Calibration Audits
If you’ve ever been through an audit, you know that the goal is to get the auditor the information that they need quickly and get them out the door. These days everyone has too much work to do and not enough time to get it done. Spending unnecessary time on an audit can take you away from your normal tasks and result in lost productivity. Having a quality single-source calibration provider that is ISO 17025 accredited can absolutely help with that. Here are some of the key reasons why:
You Can Be Confident That Your Calibrations Were Performed According To The Proper Procedures.
In order for a calibration lab to be ISO 17025 accredited, their quality system must have well-documented and validated procedures for each calibration parameter listed on their accreditation certificate. Technicians at accredited calibration labs are trained to perform according to the procedures. These procedures, the training program, and the standards used are all scrutinized by their accrediting body (ex. A2LA) to ensure that the requirements of the accreditation body and the industry are being met.
The calibration certificates include a clear reference to the procedure used as well as the standards that were used. This allows your auditor to quickly confirm that your equipment was calibrated properly using NIST traceable standards. There is no industry standard for what a calibration certificate should look like, so where this information is located on a certificate will vary from one provider to the next. Utilizing a single source reduces the variety of certificate formats, speeding up the audit process.
You Have Easy Access To All The Certs For Your Equipment.
While the mechanism for this may be different depending on your provider, you should have a quick and easy way to show your auditor the certs that they need. Cross Precision Measurement customers, for example, can access the certs for their equipment easily by scanning the QR code located on the calibration sticker. In addition, our customers can access all of their equipment records in our free cloud-based calibration tracking software, GageSuite. This portal allows customers to see both the current certificates as well as any past calibration certificates for each piece of equipment. If you are using multiple providers, tracking down the information that your auditor needs can quickly become cumbersome. This is particularly true if any of your providers only give you paper certs.
