What should you do after receiving a gauge block certificate?
When a gauge block is calibrated by an external laboratory, the received certificate must be properly incorporated into the metrology management system.
In addition to retaining the document, it is necessary to record the obtained results, maintain the traceability of the standard, and assess whether it remains suitable for use according to the criteria established by the organization or the applicable regulations.
