. The types of equipment covered by the program (e.g., instruments, tools, gages, reference and transfer standards, and nondestructive examination equipment) are defined. (NQA-1) 3. Measuring and test equipment is labeled, tagged, or otherwise controlled to indicate its calibration status and to ensure its traceability to calibration test data. (Approved via SE (Accession No. ML050700416).) 4. Measuring and test equipment 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. (NQA-1) 5. Measuring and test equipment found out of calibration is tagged or segregated and not used until it is recalibrated. When measuring and test equipment 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. (NQA-1) 6. Calibration and control measures are not required for rulers, tape measures, levels, and other such devices, if normal commercial equipment provides adequate accuracy. (NQA-1) 7. Records of calibration status and the capability of measuring and test equipment to perform its intended function are maintained. (NQA-1) 8. For procurement of commercial-grade calibration services for safety-related applications, laboratory accreditation programs administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation, as recognized through the mutual recognition arrangement of the International Laboratory Accreditation Program (ILAC), are acceptable in lieu of a supplier audit, commercial-grade survey, or
