8.3.3 Calibration Data Logs
Site
log books must record at least the following:
- Date
and time of the calibration period (no valid data)
- Name
of calibration person or team members.
- Calibration
method used (this should identify SOP number and data sheet used)
- Where
the data sheet or sheets can be found on site
- Action
taken and/or recommended
The
data sheet should contain this same information along with the measurement
values found and observations made. Model and serial numbers of equipment
tested and used for testing must appear. The original report should always
be found at the site location and a copy can be used for reports to
management (a single-copy carbon form could be used). The truism that
"it is impossible to have too many field notes" should be
underscored in all training classes for operators and auditors.
