Have you performed in-house calibration to calibrate your instruments and implemented it well?
Calibration is one of the most important processes when quality is in mind, either engaged directly or indirectly in manufacturing a product or providing services.
Almost all of the industries need calibration mainly because of a requirement for quality, safety, and regulatory requirement (and of course, including auditor’s requirement).
Because of this, the Internal calibration laboratory is a must to establish, and many 3rd party calibration laboratories exist to provide their services.
Calibration service allocates a significant amount of a company’s budget and therefore it is a big plus if you consider having an internal calibration laboratory also called in-house calibration to be implemented.
In this topic, I will share my knowledge based on my experience regarding the elements or guides when establishing an Internal Calibration Laboratory which is aligned to ISO calibration requirements specifically ISO9001:2015 and ISO17025:2017. You will discover the requirements in order to implement a calibration system within your company including below topics:
