Monitoring and measuring devices are used and controlled in a manner that ensures continuing suitability; this includes ensuring that the environmental conditions are Suitable for the calibration, inspections, measurements and tests being carried out. ID also define the processes employed for the on-going calibration, control and maintenance of monitoring and measuring devices including their identification, location, frequency/method of checks, uses/acceptance criteria and the action to be taken when results are unsatisfactory All monitoring and measuring devices that can affect product quality are identified and calibrated at prescribed intervals against certified equipment having a known valid relationship to intemationally or nationally known standards. Where no such standards exist, the basis used for calibration is documented. Inspection Department does not have an internal laboratory facility and therefore cannot perform all required inspections, tests andior calibrations; accordingly, external laboratories used for inspection, test or calibration services are selected, qualified and monitored per Section 7.5.1 Appropriate calibration records are maintained to document results of calibration activities (Section 4.2.4) and suitable indicators are used to show current calibration status. A number or anther identifier is used to provide traceability to the device calibration record (Section 7.5.3 & 7.6).
