Hi there. I've recently come across some equipment (oscilloscopes, verniers, DDM, etc) stored in an uncontrolled (atmosphere) area at work.
The equipment is labled 'calibration date to start when next used'.
ie annually calibrated May 2008, is in storage until July 2008, cal due date re-defined to July 2009
Surely this is unacceptable?
If the equipment is externally annually calibrated May 2008, then the cal due date remains at May 2009!?
I'm due an audit soon & am after some solid evidence, but have been unable to find any within ISO 9001:2008.
