Abstract. The article is devoted to the identification, ranking and quantitative analysis of the
risks that affect the quality of calibration work in the calibration laboratory. The paper used the
brainstorming technique, the Ishikawa chart, and the ranking method for research. The results
are represented by the Pareto chart. The ranked list was compiled based on the statistical data of
the calibration laboratory. The ranked list was used as assessment criteria of risk.

1. Introduction
The new version of the GOST ISO / IEC 17025-2019 standard was adopted in 2019. A feature of the
implementation of the requirements of the standard in the new edition is the addition of a new process -
risk management, to the usual version of the organization's QMS. Moreover, all calibration laboratories
must adopt a risk-based mindset, which will affect how laboratories approach calibration processes.
Previously, the risk was mentioned only as the need to take it into account when making decisions, no
more. That is, it was mainly advisory in nature. In connection with these changes, it became necessary
to organize and implement risk management in the QMS [1].
The risk management policy also affects the laboratory policy, it dictates [2]:

• Statement of the fact of focus on risk management on the part of the laboratory management in
relation to the stated goals.
• Intention to implement risk management.
• Determining the authority of the personnel in relation to risk management [3].
• Obligation to ensure access of those responsible for risk management to the necessary resources
(personnel, time, training, finance).
• Commitment to maximum involvement of the company in maintaining risk management [4].
• Establishing indicators of the effectiveness of risk management.
• Allocation of resources for risk management.
• Ways to resolve conflicts.
• Striving to revise and improve the risk management system [5-7].

The purpose of the study is to identify the most common risks affecting the calibration process.
The relevance of the study is due to the need of the calibration laboratory to minimize the risks arising
during the calibration process.

Research problem:

• Identify risks and their consequences using the brainstorming method and Ishikawa diagram.
• To rank quantitative indicators of risks arising within one year.
• Identify the most common risks.

The process of calibration of measuring instruments in the calibration laboratory of OOO


«Laboratorno-issledovatel'skij centr» was chosen as the object of research.

2. Identification of risks
Risk is the factor that affects the final result, and influence will mean the deviation of events from the
expected result of the events that were influenced. Regarding to the calibration process, the end result is
understood as obtaining a reliable result with a given, i.e. certain accuracy [8].
To form the most complete list of risks, the brainstorming method was used, for this an expert group
of six people was created (GOST R 58771-2019 Risk management. Risk assessment technologies),
namely:

• Quality Director - Chief Metrologist.


• Director of the Department of Measuring Technology.
• Leading Metrology Engineer.
• Quality specialist.
• Head of the laboratory of precision mechanics and measuring instruments for geometric
quantities.
• Metrology engineer.

Brainstorming allows you to establish the relationship between the end result and the problems that
affect the ability to produce a valid calibration result.
To enhance the effectiveness of the application, the brainstorming method was used simultaneously
with the construction of the Ishikawa chart. This made it possible not only to identify risks, but also to
make a preliminary ranking of factors. With a causal diagram, it is easy to visualize the root causes that
generate specific consequences and are manageable [9], [10].
The Ishikawa chart is shown in figure 1.

Figure 1. Ishikawa chart.

Data analysis has identified five main groups of risk factors [8], [11]: Calibrating instruments,
Calibrator, Working place, Item of calibration, Quality measurement. These groups are shown in figure 2.

3. Enumeration of risk register


Further according to the provided diagram during the year, the identified risk factors were counted and
their further registration in the register. The frequency of occurrence and possible consequences on the
calibration process and the issuance of a calibration document to the customer were determined. The
proportion of cases of occurrence of adverse factors was calculated. Table 1 shows the quantitative risk
indicators obtained after observations [12-15].

The processing of the information received made it possible not only to group particular risk factors

4. Recommendations and conclusions


After completing the risk ranking process. it is necessary to identify the risk groups that have the greatest
impact on the calibration process. This task is solved by constructing a Pareto chart (figure 3). which
allows you to demonstrate the quantitative ratios of various groups of risks in descending order of

Figure 3. Pareto chart.

It can be seen from the Pareto chart that the most common risks will be the risks of the «Calibration
resources» and «Personnel (Calibrator)» groups. In further researches. a system for influencing the risk
group «Calibration resources» will be developed. which includes the development of a corrective action
plan for risk management in the calibration laboratory. and the determination of the numerical
characteristics of the identified risks.
As a result of the study. the risks that may arise during the calibration process were identified and
ranked. Identified those that have the greatest impact on the process. The results obtained will be useful
not only for calibration laboratories. but for any organizations working in the field of ensuring the
uniformity of measurements. because the assessment methods used are available and allow them to be
effectively applied in the transition of calibration laboratories to risk-based thinking.
