Recorders in stores and controlled rooms
A fixed wall display, a portable logger and a reference thermometer may all be used in the same room. Specify which instrument needs calibration, whether its probe can be removed, and the readings around the storage limits that you want reported. A request to study temperatures throughout the room requires its own description.
Agree the report details with quality
Ask your quality contact for the current asset register and the spelling of the site name to print on the report. For an inspection balance, supply the lightest and heaviest loads used for the product. If a customer audit sets a deadline, give RTS the date the records must be reviewed as well as the day the instrument can be released.
From an inspection result to a release decision
An inspection instrument and the product it measures have different acceptance requirements. Send the instrument's working range and the limits used by the quality procedure. If a result is expected to carry a pass or fail statement, agree the decision rule and the source of the limit before the work starts. A product drawing alone may not explain how the instrument will be accepted.
Keep any required certificate fields in the order: asset number, instrument location, named accessories and report recipient. A temperature probe used with a detachable display should remain identifiable as that pair. The same record makes it easier to compare the next calibration with the present one after a probe is replaced.
