TO 00-20-14 30 SEPTEMBER 2011 - Wright-Patterson Air Force Base

TO 00-20-14 30 September 2011l. The conditions (e.g., environmental) under which the calibrations were made that have an influence on themeasurement results.m. The uncertainty of measurement or a statement of compliance with an identified metrological specification orclauses thereof.NOTEA calibration report or certificate that contains a statement of compliance tooriginal manufacturer's specifications (with any exceptions or limitations noted)may satisfy this requirement.n. Evidence that the measurements are traceable.5.7.4 Calibration Certificate or Report Amendments. Amendments to the calibration certificate or report after issue shallbe made in the form of a separate document including the statement, "Supplement to Calibration Report (or calibrationcertificate)" and shall include the identifying number of the original report or certificate. Supplements shall meet all therequirements of original reports or certificates.5.7.4.1 Amendments are required for any event such as the identification of defective calibration equipment, that castsdoubt on the validity of results given in any calibration report, certificate or amendment. Such amendments shall quantifythe magnitude of error in the calibration results.5.8 AFTO FORM 249, TMDE CALIBRATION DATA.The AFTO Form 249 has been deleted, but may be used until exhausted. The PMEL should use a locally-generated chartmeeting the requirements of this TO and the applicable calibration procedure.5.9 AFTO FORM 250, TMDE CALIBRATION CORRECTION CHART.The AFTO Form 250 has been deleted, but may be used until exhausted. The PMEL should use a locally-generated chartmeeting the requirements of this TO and the applicable calibration procedure.5.10 MEASUREMENT STANDARD DECALS.Equipment that is certified as an Air Force Measurement Standard or a Base Measurement Standard shall be identifiedwith the appropriate decal established for this purpose. TO 33K-1-100-2 identifies Base Measurement Standards.5.10.1 Gold Decal. The gold Air Force Measurement Standard Decal and a certification label shall be affixed tostandards possessed and used by the AFPSL as a basic measurement standard for the Air Force.5.10.2 Blue Decal. The blue Base Measurement Standard Decal and a certification label shall be affixed to standardsthat are possessed and used by a PMEL as a Base Measurement Standard, and designated as such in TO 33K-1-100-2.PMEL personnel who certify or possess the standard shall affix the decal. The base measurement standard decal shall notbe affixed to working standards calibrated by the possessing PMEL. The blue decals may be obtained from the AFPSL.5.11 AFTO FORM 255, CERTIFICATION VOID IF BROKEN.The AFTO Form 255 (see Figure 5-9) label or an alternate method listed below shall be applied to operator accessiblecontrols or adjustments on standards and other TMDE, which if moved, will invalidate the calibration. If a panel must beremoved to access controls or adjustments, they are not considered operator accessible. Apply this label sparingly andreserve for critical locations or TMDE susceptible to tampering. If label is broken or shows signs of tampering, thecertification is void. Equipment shall be scheduled for certification unless situations addressed in exceptions paragraphapply. This label shall be validated with a K stamp of PMEL technician. Any non-PMEL organization applying the labelcan use inspection or production stamp or the initials of the responsible certifying technician. Do not cover the face ofthis label with any kind of tape that would defeat the purpose of the label. Alternate methods, such as sealant ormanufacturer’s calibration/warranty void seals, may be used at the option of the responsible calibrating work center toseal TMDE if the AFTO Form 255 cannot be applied satisfactorily.5-10
