Clause 8.3
The organization shall provide evidence that the specified monitoring and measuring methods and equipment
are adequate to ensure the performance of the monitoring and measuring procedures.
Where necessary to ensure valid results, the measuring equipment and methods used
a) shall be calibrated or verified at specified intervals, or prior to use, against measurement standards
traceable to international or national measurement standards; where no such standards exist, the basis
used for calibration or verification shall be recorded,
b) shall be adjusted or re-adjusted as necessary,
c) shall be identified to enable the calibration status to be determined,
d) shall be safeguarded from adjustments that would invalidate the measurement results, and
e) shall be protected from damage and deterioration.
Records of the results of calibration and verification shall be maintained.
In addition, the organization shall assess the validity of the previous measurement results when the equipment or process is found not to conform to requirements. If the measuring equipment is nonconforming, the organization shall take action appropriate for the equipment and any product affected. Records of such
assessment and resulting actions shall be maintained.
When used in the monitoring and measurement of specified requirements, the ability of computer software to
satisfy the intended application shall be confirmed. This shall be undertaken prior to initial use and shall be
reconfirmed as necessary.
