specific test purpose.
Uncertainty: when judging safety margin or operability for a given tested
component, the uncertainty of the test equipment should be considered
conservatively.
The calibration records provide a calibration history, showing calibration intervals, date
of last calibration, when the next calibration is due, conformance or non‐conformance to
required tolerances before and after adjustments, and any limitations on use. It is often
desirable to affix a sticker directly to the test equipment, giving the date of previous
calibration and the required date of the next one.
When test equipment is found to be out of calibration, the validity of tests done since the
last calibration date is evaluated. For this purpose, it is recommended that a history of
usage for each piece of test equipment be maintained. Test equipment found to be out of
calibration is identified by a tag or other suitable means.
Special consideration should be paid when determining calibration intervals. Some test
equipment vendors may guarantee shorter period of time for their equipment than similar
test equipment. In this case, the user of test equipment should be careful not to exceed the
calibration interval given by vendor to ensure the quality of the test.
12.2.6.7. Surveillance documentation and records
All results of surveillance activities are documented and recorded. Arrangements are
made for documentation to be issued and maintained in accordance with quality
assurance requirements. The following is a list of typical documents related to
surveillance activities:
Logs and logbooks giving the readouts of safety system parameters;
Recorder charts and computer printouts;
