Control of Monitoring and Measurment Manuals

Document Control...Monitoring and Measurment

Hello folks,

Any advice on whether or not it is necessary to "uniquely identify" each and every equipment manual for each piece of calibrated equipment as well as each piece of calibration test equipment? If all of the manufacturer manuals are marked controlled documents and kept in the same location is it overkill to split each one out individually?

Regards,

MCJ

Can each manual be specifically linked to it's piece of equipment?

Could a guy named Murphy mistakenly try to perform an operation on a piece of equipment with a manual because the picture on the front kind of looks like the equipment itself?

Could that same guy named Murphy use the wrong calibration manual or equipment for the wrong item with out some type of guidance document/form or whatever?

It's your choice...do what you want, but remember, somewhere we have to perform "Preventive" actions that many times cost less than the "Corrective" ones.
