2. Scope:

All measuring instruments of the company.

3. Responsibility:

Equipment Department and departments using measuring instruments.

4. Procedures

4.1 Definition of measuring instruments:

 Any device that can be used to directly or indirectly measure the value of the measured object, such as instruments and standard materials used to unify the value, including metrological reference instruments and metrological standard instruments.

4.2 Issuance and use of three measuring instruments

4.2.1 The company's measuring instruments must be uniformly numbered and registered by the equipment department, and a ledger, registration card and file must be established. They can only be used after the issuance of a certificate of conformity.

4.2.2 Each department must register and calibrate the measuring instrument room before it can be used.

4.2.3 Strictly implement the calibration cycle of measuring instruments. Measuring instruments that have not been calibrated, failed after calibration, or exceeded the calibration cycle are not allowed to be used. The inspection rate is required to reach 100%

4.2.4 The equipment department shall make a periodic calibration plan in accordance with national regulations and ensure that the accounts and materials are consistent. 4.2.5 The measuring instruments of each department should be used and maintained correctly according to the instruction manual and standard operating procedures. For shared measuring instruments, a designated person should be designated to keep them and fill in the usage records truthfully and promptly.

4.2.6 No one else is allowed to use them without the consent of the custodian or the approval of the leader.

4.2.7 When the measuring instruments are used during the calibration period, if they are suspected to be inaccurate or some measuring instruments such as analytical balances need to be moved away from the workplace due to work needs, they should be sent for inspection or requested for inspection in a timely manner.

4.3 Sealing and scrapping of measuring instruments

4.3.1 When the actual needs of measuring instruments between departments in the company are unbalanced, the equipment department is responsible for making adjustments

4.3.2 When idle measuring instruments need to be sealed, the using department should submit a written application and explain the reasons. After the approval of the equipment department, the sealing procedures can be carried out for sealing, and the status mark should be hung on the sealed measuring instruments.

4.3.3 The sealed measuring instruments should be stored in an environment that meets the technical requirements, kept clean and dry, and inspected regularly.

4.3.4 When the user department needs to unseal and use the equipment, it should first apply for it, and it can only be unsealed and used after the approval of the equipment department; the newly unsealed measuring instruments shall be sent for inspection by the equipment department, and they can only be used after obtaining the certificate of conformity.

4.3.5 When the measuring instruments lose their original accuracy and cannot be repaired, the economic value of repair is not great, or the quality is poor, they should be scrapped.

4.4.3 The repaired measuring instruments shall meet the accuracy level determined by the national verification regulations.

4.4.4 When carrying and transporting precision instruments, they should be properly packaged to prevent shock and collision.

4.4.5 Units using measuring instruments should use measuring instruments according to standard operating procedures and do a good job of daily maintenance of measuring instruments to prevent shock, dust, moisture, mildew, light, corrosion, and magnetization.

4.4.6 When using measuring instruments, they must not be disassembled at will.
