I am new to the cove, but I am hooked. We are a QS-9000 company and have struggled with the "calibration" vs. "verification" issue many times. I have a question:
Suppose the calibration technician has identified a measuring device in production as out-of-calibration. An electronic or maintenance technician adjusts the device using the manufacturer's manual. The cal tech then "verifies" that the device is within required limits using a primary standard.
Is the action taken by the electronic or maintenance tech a pert of the calibration or is it considered "repair"? Did the cal tech "calibrate" or "verify?
