Hi there again
We are a small, ISO9001:2008 certified manufacturer of capacitors. We have a regular calibration process that meets the requirements but a question has recently come up. How often do we HAVE to send out weight standards for recertification/calibration from a 3rd party? Its pricey - which is why the question came up.
The scales being calibrated with the weight standards are not used for fine measurements - the smallest quantities being measured being around 1 kg with 1 g resolution. The question posed by the guy signing the PO is: can we be compliant if we make our process an annual visual examination of the standards to assess any damage, and baring any visible damage, limit the send-out to once every 5 or 10 years?
Thanks in advance!
