Calibration certificates play a vital role in quality management systems, particularly under ISO 9001:2015. Whether you’re preparing for an audit, ensuring legal defensibility, or simply maintaining high standards, understanding the requirements around calibration is important.
ISO 9001:2015 Requirements
- Clause 7.1.5.1 – Organisations must ensure that monitoring and measuring resources are:
- Suitable for their intended purpose.
- Maintained to ensure continued fitness for purpose.
- Clause 7.1.5.2 – Measurement Traceability
When measurement traceability is required (by regulation, customer expectation, or policy), the organisation must:
- Calibrate or verify measuring equipment at specified manufacturers intervals or prior to use. Remove manufactures – This aligns more closely with ISO wording and avoids implying that manufacturers alone dictate intervals.
- Ensure traceability to international or national measurement standards.
- Identify equipment to determine its calibration status.
- Safeguard equipment from adjustments that would invalidate the calibration.
- Protect equipment from damage or deterioration during handling, maintenance, and storage.
These requirements ensure that any measurements used to verify product or service conformity are accurate, reliable, and defensible – especially in regulated or safety-critical environments.
