Where it goes wrong
Calibration records are usually accurate. The problem is that the person choosing an instrument at 6 a.m. can't see them.
Practical controls
- Record the calibration due date and certificate reference against each serial number.
- Mark instruments that are in calibration or out of service so they can't be picked by mistake.
- Record the instrument used on every inspection report, so it's traceable later.
- Review anything due in the next 30 days every week, not every month.
How NDT Pilot handles it
When an inspection starts, only in-service instruments with current calibration can be selected. Expired ones are listed with their due date, and a daily automation emails the team about upcoming and overdue calibrations.
