PMEL Forum

I have an ISO accrediting organization (well known) insisting that we start "verifying that equipment returning from outside calibration is within the specified manufacturer's tolerance".

In the past, we would audit shipping methods and packing material, verify the vehicles used had adequate padding etc...

At first I thought this was just a junior auditor who was just learning the ropes but the issue does not appear to be going away, and my QC manager (who is competent and reasonable) is searching for a solution.

Is anyone else getting this requirement form their accrediting organizations?

Have you found a reasonable way to comply?

We are using Fluke PM600-A200K Module and the 6270A Controller.

Does anyone have a procedure to calibrated Climet equipment? I have a CI-1054 particle counter and a CI-95A. I think the CI-95A is just flow, but the particle counter has other measurements based on particle size.

I added another video where I did a presentation to SIM. 

We built some software to calibrate cal kits..
If you are looking to pull the trigger and bring the work in-house, let me know.

It's been a while since I posted.  Hope all is well everyone.  I want to hear thoughts on the calibration of cal kits.  Up to this point I've always sent ours to Keysight annually.  I've been in discussion with management about possibly calibrating them in house.  I've shown them in the manual stating why these need to go to Keysight.  However, there is an Open/Short/Load Air Force procedure in GIDEP.  I think the best we could achieve is 1:1 . Any idea how much more accurate the "master" kits manufacturers are utilizing?
