Are results reviewed and authorized prior to release?
Are results provided accurately, clearly, unambiguously
and objectively?
Does Report (i.e. Calibration Certificate) include all the
information agreed with the customer and necessary
for the interpretation of the results and all information
required by the method used?
6 Non-conforming work
Does the laboratory has a procedure for work that do
not conform to its own procedures or the agreed
requirements of the customer (e.g. equipment or
environmental conditions are out of specified limits,
results of monitoring fail to meet specified criteria) ?
Are followings addressed for non-conforming work:

Section 3.2 : Capability Assessment
1 Service Range
Does supplier have past track record of providing the
calibration services with appropriate methods & range
for which Welspun seeks external supply?
2 Service
Does laboratory use documented procedures /
instructions to carry out calibration?
Is metrological traceability of measurement results
established by means of a documented unbroken chain
of calibrations, each contributing to the measurement
uncertainty, linking them to an appropriate reference?

System of Units (SI)?
Where reference materials are used for calibration,
does laboratory have certified values of these reference
materials? Are reference materials provided by a
manufacturer certified for ISO 17034?
Are equipment requiring calibration or which has a
defined period of validity labelled, coded or otherwise
identified to allow the user of the equipment to readily
identify the status of calibration or period of validity?
