Hey all,
I just have a quick question regarding calibration cycles. From what I understand, it's up to the organization to determine the adequate calibration cycle of equipment. Is that the case?
The reason I ask is because I am trying to move our equipment to a 2 to 3 year cal cycle, as most of the equipment we have is not used and the company is always worried about the financial impact of calibration services.
The quality director is fighting against it for some reason. We have years of previous records showing calibration was "in cal" when received and "in cal" after calibration services were performed, so there is a history.
What are the AS9100 requirements when it comes to this history? Does the history even matter? Can the organization determine the cal cycle based on frequency of use? Or can an organization just determine their own cal cycle?
Thanks for your help
