Recently, it was suggested that we start calibrating our own Flow-meters. We have 22 of them. The suggest-er felt that it isn't difficult, would save money, etc. The suggest-ee was not comfortable with the idea and said so.
I tend to agree with the suggest-ee because 1) At our ISO audit last May, the auditor wanted to see Calibration records for a piece of equipment. I had the work order showing that a Calibration was completed by an outside service instantly available, but he stated that he needed to see something with Traceability information on it. (We had that in the paper files). 2) If we need to provide Traceability information, we would need more than a calibrated bucket and a stopwatch.
I would like some guidance as to whether in-house calibration of flow-meters is compliant with the ISO 9001 standard, without purchasing calibration lab-quality equipment.
Thanks!
