CALIBRATION SYSTEM
The purpose of calibration is to ensure that various
types of measurement and process equipment
accurately and consistently perform as designed
and intended
Further, its is also to ensure that equipment
accuracy and consistency remain correlated with
known quantities or values that are commonly
referred to as standards.

Calibration Equipment
Calibration Procedure
Calibration procedure are the step-by-step
instructions that describe the calibration process
for a given piece of equipment.
Such procedure are not normally stored with the
equipment ,these procedures reside in the
calibration laboratory.
Calibration procedures identify all process
equipment models or configurations to which the
procedures apply.
Calibration technicians have no authority to
deviate from the instructions for any reason,
unless there is a documented cause for
improvement,.

Calibration Environment
Specifications
It describes the conditions under which calibrations
are to be performed.
Calibration environment specifications commonly
address cleanliness,temperature,humidy,and vibration
;however,many other factors may need to be
controlled to ensure that a valid calibration is
completed.

Calibration Standard
Hierarchy
1. International Standards:
A standard recognized by international agreement
to serve internationally as the basis for fixing the
value of all other standards of the quantity
concerned.e.g SI Units
2.National Standards:
A standard recognized by an official decision to
serve in a country as a basis for fixing value of all
other standards of the quantity concerned.
Generally a primary standard in a country is also a
primary standard to which other standard are
traceable.

Calibration Standard
Hierarchy
3.Primary Standards:
•A standard i.e. widely acknowledged as having the
the highest metrological quality and whose value is
accepted without reference to other standards of the
same quantity .
•National Standards are generally primary standards.
4.Secondary Standards:
A standard whose value is based on comparisons
with some primary standard. Note that a secondary
standard, once its value is established ,can become
a primary standard for some other user.

Calibration Standard
Hierarchy
5.Reference Standard:
A standard having the highest metrological
quality available at given location from
which the measurements made at that
location are derived
Working Standard:
A measurement standard not specifically
reserved as a reference standard, which is
intended to verify measurement equipment of
lower accuracy.

Calibration Standard
Hierarchy
Transfer Standard:
A standard that is the same as a reference
standard except that its is used to
transfer a measurement parameter from
one organization to another for
traceability purposes.
IM-213 MQC Naima Javed ,Assistant Professor IMD
Equipment Traceability
Traceability is a process intended to quantify a
laboratory’s measurement uncertainty in
relationship to national standards.
Traceability is based on analysis of error
contributions present in each of the
measurement transfers:the calibration of the
laboratory’s reference standards by the NIST,
the measurement made in calibration transfer
in lab,and the measurements made on a
product.
Such traceability may be as simple as retention
of certificates and reports of calibration or as
complex as reproduction of the analyses
demonstrating the uncertainties claimed for
the measurements.

Assessment of when the out-of-
calibration condition occurred
4. Quantification of the amount of
product/service delivery
produced/delivered during the out-of-
calibration condition
5. Evaluation of product or service delivery
status (i.e., was any product produced or
any service provided to customers during
the out-of-calibration condition?)
6. Identification of who is authorized to
manage the containment efforts
