Please assist me to interpret the standard with regards to making the clear distinction between VERIFICATION, CHECKING, and CALIBRATION. I have always sent the Master device to outside calibrators and obliviously state on the purchase order that ‘measurement standard to be traceable to International or national standard or any other suitable controlled master’. I then use the calibrated Master device to verify other internal devices in usage to validate the measurement result.
I had a lengthy debate with a colleague; he argues that a check by devices in usage against an uncalibrated Master device is acceptable. He states that there is no requirement in the standard to carry out calibration on the device including the Master device. Please advise how the standard is interpreted regarding the above.
