The laboratory shall be able to use the equipment needed to perform its activities correctly and that can affect results (for example software, measuring instruments, measurement standards, reference data and materials, reagents, consumables and auxiliary apparatus), and where it uses equipment it does not permanently control, it shall make sure that equipment meets these requirements. It shall: have a procedure for how equipment is handled, transported, stored, used and maintained according to plan; verify that equipment meets the specified requirements before it enters or re-enters service; make sure measuring equipment can reach the accuracy or uncertainty needed; calibrate measuring equipment where its accuracy or uncertainty affects whether results are valid or where metrological traceability depends on calibration; set up and review a calibration programme; label, code or otherwise mark equipment to show its calibration status or how long it remains valid; remove from service equipment that has been overloaded or mishandled, gives doubtful results, is defective or is outside specified requirements, isolate or label it, look into how the fault affected earlier work, and start the procedure for nonconforming work; carry out intermediate checks according to a procedure where needed; keep reference values and correction factors up to date and apply them; stop equipment from being adjusted by accident; and keep records for each item covering its identity with software and firmware version, its type, serial number and who made it, evidence that it was verified as conforming, where it is, calibration dates and results, adjustments, acceptance criteria and next due date, documentation for reference materials, the maintenance plan and maintenance done, and any damage, malfunction, modification or repair.
This control maps to 4 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.
Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
The graph holds this control, the 4 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
