procedures should be obtained with each type of equipment. A

certificate of calibration and tolerance should be included.

Distribution of these manuals shall be in accordance with document

control procedures. Training aids furnished by the manufacturer(s)

M&TE requestor. Equipment selected should be the proper range,

accuracy, and precision. Also, where practical, the equipment selected

should be a type that minimizes the possibility of human error (e.g.,

direct digit readout, large mirror scale, null indicators, and direct

temperature readout).
