"Calibration Not Required" label requirements

Hi everyone,

I have a quick question about calibration labels.

In our surveillance audit, we received a "Sensitive Point" indicating:
"Some test equipments are not calibrated and not identified as 'calibration not required'".

Are there any standard/official formats for the "Calibration Not Required" labels? Must I purchase these labels from a company who makes them or may I use say a standard white mailing label and print out my own "Calibration Not Required" label?

Thanks!

I believe that any durable label should suffice to notify users of the equipments calibration status.

Re: "Calibration Not Required" labels

you can print them yourself.

I would just put a piece of tape over them after they've been applied so they stay legible and don't smear or run.

Be sure to define the applicable use of "Calibration Not Required" labels in your work instructions!

In our system we include all "Reference Only" gauges in the calibration database. In the database we include a rational of why this gauge is determined to be "Reference Only".

We have had a similar issue found with the TGA and FDA , however if 'No Calibration required' is an option the organisation wants to use, a justification to why no calibration is required should be recorded against the equipment.

Thank you all for your replies! So if I update our Calibration-SOP with information on equipment that does not require calibration than I should be ok? I could say something like "equipment which does not require calibration will be labeled as such. Justification will be documented for equipment which does not require calibration."

Thanks.

Yes, do mention in your SOP that

"The equipment that do not require claibration would be affixed with a label as shown below - (include specimen)"

And in the Equipment Calibration List, do mention these equipment with a note that calibartion is not required and provide justification.

Hope that helps.

Yes, here is one: I have a granite surface plate that is no longer used for measuring, it is simply a stable surface to place my vision system CMM to reduce the effect of ambient vibration. It no longer requires calibration. It is no longer being used to measure anything. That readily justifies that it no longer needs calibrated.
