Hello all,
I have been searching all of the posts but I can't seem to find a clear answer to my question. My company does internal calibrations on basic equipment like calipers, micrometers, etc. We are an ISO certified company so we have a procedure for calibration. The procedure does not specify calibration to be done in any kind of controlled environment. I cannot find anything in the quality system requirements that spells out what the environmental conditions must be. Could an external auditor write a finding if the temperature in the lab was over 75 degrees? What absolute thing can I use to say "we must keep the lab between.....and....."? Help?!?
