Course Objectives
Quality Management System Standards such as ISO 9000, QS-9000 and ISO/IEC 17025 require the establishment of an effective system for the control of inspection and measuring equipment. Frequently organizations establish such systems without considering practicality and cost effectiveness. This course enables participants to gain the latest information, knowledge and skills for identifying the elements of an effective calibration system; understanding the requirements for those supplying calibration services; preparing for compliance; improving and utilizing measurement data.

Using workshops and case studies, participants learn how to develop and document a calibration and measurement assurance program and assess measurement capabilities.

Who Should Attend

• Those who manage, utilize or control calibration systems
• Quality managers and engineers

• Assessors of calibration systems

Note: Attendees should bring a calculator that can perform statistical computations.
