results shall be documented and evaluated to ensure that test requirements have been satisfied. 6. Test records, at a minimum, identify the item tested, date of test, tester or data recorder, type of observation, results and acceptability, action taken in connection with any deviations noted, and the person evaluating test results. L. CONTROL OF MEASURING AND TEST EQUIPMENT (Criterion XII) 1. Measures shall be established to ensure that tools, gages, instruments, and other measuring and testing devices used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified periods to maintain accuracy within necessary limits. 2. M&TE is labeled, tagged, or otherwise controlled to indicate its calibration status and to ensure its traceability to calibration test data. (Approved via March 24, 2005 SE, ADAMS Accession No. ML050700416.) 3. 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
