1. Purpose
The purpose of this procedure is to provide a documented sytem for the Control of Monitoring and
Measurement Devices (alternatively called equipment).
2. Scope
This Procedure applies to all Measurement and Test Equipment and related services used to verify
conformance of product and processes. It sets out the responsibilities and process for the control of all
existing, new and archived equipment, including equipment owned by the Customer and personal gauges
that are used for the determiniation of product quality.
ECN - An Engineering Change Notice (ECN) is a document authorizing and recording design changes
throughout the prototyping and life-cycle phases of a product. ECN documentation contains the
justification for changes made to a component or system once the initial design is complete

All variable data measuring equipment is to have an appropriate Gauge Repeatability & Reproducibility
Studies conducted prior to release or initial usage according to commodity group, i.e. 0-25 mm
micrometer, 25-50mm micrometer, 0-15mm vernier, etc. This is conducted prior to release after which
they receive Calibration or verification controls as per the Inspection Equipment Schedule.
Where more than one operator or measuring device (gauge, check fixture, etc.) is routinely used to collect
variable data both gauge repeatability & reproducibility will be assessed. Where only one operator and
measuring device is used, only gauge repeatability will be assessed.

5.1.1.New Equipment
New Inspection Equipment is determined during the Process Development & Validation Process,
through customer input or other Engineering Change. Also included is any personal inspection
equipment used for qualification of product for the customer.
Inspection equipment and related documentation (Design Records, Calibration, etc.) are brought
to the Lab Personnel for control into the Inspection Equipment Management System (ex.
GageTrak or Intranet).
The Quality Lab Technician identifies and maintains the status of fixtures and gauges through the
use of unique ID numbers, permanently marking each so that Ownership can be easily determined,
ie. PROPERTY OF: __________”. Information maintained in the Fixture Management Software
should include:
Type of Equipment
Ownership of Equipment
Location of Equipment
Engineering Revision Level
Method and Frequency of Calibration / Inspections
5.1.2.Damaged Equipment
If equipment has been found to be faulty or otherwise defective it is to be reported to the Lab
Technician, who must remove it from use or otherwise clearly identify it as being out of service.
If applicable the inspection equipment should be removed from the point of use and placed in the
lab.
The Lab Technician is to notify the responsible Quality Engineer who may notify the Customer
depending on ownership or impact.
If the equipment is repairable, it must be done so and then re-qualified / verified for use. If the
equipment is not repairable, the Fixture Management software should be updated and the fixture
archived or scrapped, with records maintained.
5.1.3.Obsolete Equipment
If equipment becomes obsolete, the Lab technician is to remove it from use or otherwise clearly
identify it as being out of service.
The Lab Technician is to notify the responsible Quality Engineer who may notify the Customer
depending on ownership or impact.

The fixture Management software should be updated and fixture archived, with records
maintained.
5.2. Laboratory
5.2.1.Internal Laboratory
The internal laboratory (or lab) of vRSC / vRSM shall have a current Laboratory Scope with a
posted copy available in the Laboratory.
The Laboratory Scope shall outline the defines the capability to perform required tests, inspections
or calibration services with applicable standards.
Where deemed necessary, technical procedures of the lab are documented, with consideration
given to Customer Specific Requirements as applicable.
Receipt, identification, handling, protection and retention or disposal of test samples shall be
retained until final data is complete throughout the life of the item in the laboratory, enabling
traceability from final data to raw data.
Only individuals with the appropriate background and experience will be responsible for making
judgement on testing and calibration.
5.2.2.External Laboratory
All measuring and test equipment that is in service is coordinated by the Quality Technician and if
outside calibration is required, certified by an approved sub-contractor that meets and is accredited
to ISO/IEC 17025 (or national equivalent) with a defined laboratory scope that includes the
capability to perform the required inspection, test or calibration.
The Certificate of Calibration or test reports must include the mark of a national accreditation
body.
If the external lab does not meet the requirements noted above, and no alternative is readily
available the Customer must be notified and give Documented approval. Records of this approval
must be maintained with the Vendor Information.
Records of current accreditation and Laboratory Scope for external Labs are maintained by Lab
Personnel.
The Lab Personnel schedules the verification and calibration (if necessary) according to the
schedules established and contained in the Fixture Management Software in cooperation with
equipment user, as appropriate.

All instrument inspections results reflect “as found” conditions. Identification of calibration /
usability status are reflected in these inspection results and the Calibration Tags, as illustrated in
relevant Work Instructions.
The Laboratory Technician will ensure that calibration/verification activities and records shall
include following details, as applicable:
5.3.1.In-House Fabrication
At times, the tool room may be relied on to make additional gauges in house. It is important a
print or detailed sketch is provided before the fabrication begins.
Note: Fabrication WILL NOT begin if a print or detailed sketch does not accompany the
Toolroom work order
Once the item has been made, the drawing and gauge are delivered to the Lab technician for
validation, calibration and internal registering.
