CALIBRATION TRACKING

Track more than the next calibration date.

Keep instrument identity, interval basis, traceable standards, results, approvals and certificates together so current status can be trusted.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Calibration tracking software manages each instrument's identification, calibration status, due dates, results, traceability evidence, certificates and history.

Build a reliable instrument register

Record the asset code, serial number, location, measurement range, unit, accuracy, tolerance, owner and current status. Distinguish measuring equipment from reference standards.

Unique identity prevents certificates and results being attached to the wrong instrument.

Control due and exception status

Calculate upcoming and overdue work while showing instruments affected by relocation, damage, failed calibration or limited-use decisions.

Status should reflect approved evidence rather than simply the presence of a recent date.

Retain results and certificates

Keep as-found and as-left data, method, environment, uncertainty where relevant, standard references, approval and the original certificate.

Searchable history supports trend review, impact assessment and audit retrieval.

Authoritative guidance

Use these primary sources alongside your organisation's competent technical and legal advice.
