The types of equipment covered by the program (e.g., instruments, tools, gages, reference and transfer standards, and nondestructive examination equipment) are defined. 4. M&TE are calibrated, adjusted, and maintained at prescribed intervals or, prior to use, against certified equipment having known valid relationships to nationally recognized standards. If no nationally recognized standards exist, the bases for calibration are documented. 5. M&TE found out of calibration is tagged or segregated and not used until it is recalibrated. When M&TE is found out of calibration, an evaluation is made and documented of the validity of previous inspection or test results and of the acceptability of items previously inspected or tested. If any measuring or test equipment is consistently found out of calibration, it is repaired or replaced. A calibration is performed when the accuracy of the equipment is suspect. 6. Calibration and control measures are not required for rulers, tape measures, levels, and other such devices, if normal commercial equipment provides adequate accuracy. 7. Records of calibration status and the capability of M&TE to perform its intended function are maintained. M. HANDLING, STORAGE, AND SHIPPING (NOT APPLICABLE TO DC APPLICANTS) (Criterion XIII) 1. Measures shall be established to control the handling, storage, shipping, cleaning and preservation of material and equipment in accordance with work and inspection instructions to prevent damage or deterioration. 2. When necessary for particular products, special protective environments, such as inert gas atmosphere, specific moisture content levels, and temperature levels, shall be specified and provided. 3. Controls for the packaging, shipping, handling and storage of items are required to be established on a case-by-case basis with due regard for the item’s complexity, use, and sensitivity to damage.
