At this moment, all over the world, people are building things and achieving valid results using measuring devices that have never been calibrated, except perhaps a the factory where they were made. I emphasized results because where calibration is concerned, in the end it's the results that matter.

Yes, in some industries if you make it and they use it with no complaints, that is adequate enough. I just ate a donut where the device that generates the profile is not calibrated. Other industries are actually concerned that you can show that the device you are using is actually measuring correctly, and you show that by the analyzing the gage rather than by assuming it is OK because nobody has complained yet. They specify this because people had incorrectly made that assumption over time, and created massive headaches. But, that is why I specified if it is OK between you and your customer.

See how fun?

Here are a few guidelines I have in my procedure.

Calibration will be performed at predetermined intervals. Recommendations from the equipment manufacturer will be followed. If no recommendations exist, equipment will be calibrated annually.
Longer calibration cycles will be established for equipment without movable parts, for example, rulers and pin gages.
Where equipment is identified as unsatisfactory, due to loss of accuracy or having sustained damage in any manner, it must be taken out of service until it is rectified or recalibrated.

I would like to take this question and answer it in the simplest terms. ISO mantra is "write what you do and do as you write" You can put whatever spin on the quote you like;"say what you do and do what you say" So here it is; describe your process and make sure that it meets your customer's requirement for quality. Be consistent, audit as often as you have written in your procedures and write a work instruction detailing the manner in which you keep your tape measures accurate even if that means buying new tape measures every 3 months!
