First, I would like to say that I have gotten a lot of my ISO questions answered by searching this forum. It is a wonderful resource.
However, I have not found a concise answer to my current question.
My company makes very small parts which are weigh counted to fill orders. Depending on the size of the parts, we count out anywhere from 25 to 150 pieces and weigh them. Once that weight is determined, we enter the count on the scales and then continue adding parts until the desired quantity is achieved.
The argument against calibration is that it does not matter if the scales are accurate, meaning that if it weighed, say 100 pieces at 25g or 25kg would be irrelevant. We do not care what they actually weigh, we are just obtaining a count.
We are working towards ISO 9001 certification, if that makes a difference.
Please let me know your opinion as well as your argument for your opinion.
