Occassionally we have to rent electronic equipment to accomodate upswings in Production or when a piece of equipment goes down. Like most of us, we always request a calibration certificate when we order the part. Like most of us, we return the requipment and that's the last we think about it. There is no communication with the rental supplier on whether the equipment was received in tolerance, thereby leaving doubt about the readings generated while we used it. I know the supplier is going to make sure the certificate is current before he sends it back out but when does this happen? Each time it is returned or just when it is due? Does 17025 require rental suppliers to calibrate upon equipment return as well as notification to customers of any out of tolerance conditions?
What about reference standards used by calibration labs. If one of those is found out of tolerance is it required by 17025 that they notify clients who had their equipment calibrated with that reference standard?
Sorry about the long post but this has reached a critical point in our facility.
Thanks for your sage advice.
