Documentation of calibration is essential for maintaining records and ensuring traceability. A typical calibration record should include:
- Equipment Identification: Model, serial number, and location. - Date of Calibration: When the calibration was performed. - Technician Details: Name and qualifications of the person who performed the calibration. - Standards Used: Details of reference materials or standards. - Results: Measurements before and after calibration, adjustments made, and final verification.
Proper documentation helps in tracking the performance of equipment over time and is essential for audits and quality assurance.
