§820.72 (inspection, measuring, and test equipment) is under Subpart G (Production and Process Controls) of the regulations. Does this mean that the scope of these requirements is limited to production (and outside the scope of design controls)?
The reason I ask, is that our developers use A LOT of equipment! Strictly speaking, this equipment is used to make measurements, but these measurements are limited to the development process, and are NOT used to conduct formal design verification testing.
Do I need to worry about the requirements of this section (820.72) for all this development equipment? I'd argue no..but curious to know what others think.
