Test and Measuring Equipment. The Supplier must administrate and monitor any testing and measuring equipment. This includes the regular calibration of testing and measuring equipment and the statistical determination of the measurement uncertainty of the measuring systems (capability, see VDA 5 guideline), to which reference is made in the production control plan. If test and measuring equipment is provided to the Supplier by the Buyer or the Buyer's customer, it must also be included in the Supplier's test and measuring equipment management system.
Test and Measuring Equipment. The Supplier must administrate and continuously monitor any testing and measuring equipment. This includes the regular calibration. Only ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration service providers may be appointed. If test and measuring equipment is provided to the Supplier by the Buyer or the Buyer's customer, it must also be included in the Supplier's test and measuring equipment man- agement system and sent back to the Buyer before the calibration date has expired. If requested by the customer, a determination of the measuring equipment capability of the test and measuring equipment shall be carried out to the specified extent.
Test and Measuring Equipment. The Supplier must administrate and continuously monitor any testing and measuring equipment. This includes the regular calibration and determination of the measuring equipment capability of the test and measuring devices (see VDA 5 guideline). Only ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration service providers may be appointed. If test and measuring equipment is provided to the Supplier by the Buyer or the Buyer's customer, it must also be included in the Supplier's test and measuring equipment management system and sent back to the Buyer before the calibration date has expired (the responsible test equipment manager of the relevant production plant of the Buyer shall be informed).
Test and Measuring Equipment. The supplier is obliged to equip himself with test devices so that all quality relevant product and process parameters can be checked. If an external company is used for examinations, the company must be accredited or certified accordingly.
Test and Measuring Equipment. The Supplier must administrate and monitor any available testing and measuring equipment. This includes the regular calibration of testing and measuring equipment and the statistical determination of the measurement uncertainty (capability) of the measuring systems referred to in the production control plan (see VDA 5 guideline or MSA). When calibrating the test and measuring equipment, the metrological traceability to the standards used must be documented and retained. The externally contracted calibration providers must demonstrate a corresponding scope of application to the ISO/IEC 17025 certificate (or comparable).
