Measuring equipment management and calibration, language: EN, on-site / Measuring equipment and calibration (VE)

Monitoring and calibration of measuring- and test instruments is mandatory and specified in various standards. There are also requirements for calibration laboratories. The seminar gives an introduction to the proper and targeted metrological and organizational handling of measuring instruments. The participants learn how to request the matching calibration and how to define calibration intervals. In addition, the most important requirements of the ISO9000 series and  ISO 17025 are taken into account as a basis. Basics for a process-oriented and certification-compliant management of measuring equipment and hints for the safe passing of an audit round off the contents of the seminar.
