5610: Calibration Certificate Evaluation - RESCHEDULED

This class is a 2-hour webinar.   The learning event will introduce concepts necessary to successfully implement ISO/IEC 17025:2017 compliant calibration certificates within the laboratory and evaluate service provider certificates for compliance.

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the two hour webinar session, using notes and reference materials, participants will be able to:

• IDENTIFY ISO/IEC 17025:2017, Sections 6.6, Externally Provided Products and Services, and 7.8 Reporting of Results, or NIST HB 143 criteria related to the evaluation of calibration certificates;
• DESCRIBE common nonconformities that can occur when reporting measurement results, including SI unit and symbol errors; and
• ANALYZE calibration certificate examples to IDENTIFY nonconformities and DEVELOP appropriate corrective and improvement actions.

Materials & Supplies:

None

Prerequisite(s):

There are no prerequisites for this webinar.
