Actual event from yesterday:
During the in-house calibration of a thermocouple, it was broken by the Technician before it could be verified within the range that it is used. It was last calibrated 6 months ago and found within tolerance.
My question:
Is it standard industry practice to do an evaluation of the product impact as you would if the TC was actually found to be out of tolerance? Do we assume the TC was good or bad?
I pose this question in regards to other types of equipment as well (i.e. measurement equipment). For example, what about dropped calipers? I guess the same goes for lost measurement equipment where it was used to accept product and then came up for calibration but nobody could locate it. What's the product impact?
Thanks.
