Issue of M&TE for use

DOE-STD-1054-93

3.4.3.3.4

Instruments used on sy stems that contain oil, brackish

water, etc., should be identified clearly to avoid

contamination of other sy stems. For example an oil-

contaminated gauge should not be used on an oil-free

compressed air sy stem, or a saltwater gauge should not

be used on a sy stem containing process liquids.

Issue of M&TE for use

3.4.3.4.1

Issuing of M&TE should be conducted utilizing a

usage record. (See Appendix B.) The M&TE should

have a usage record filled out to identify each item

calibrated or tested by that M&TE. A new usage

record should be initiated each time the M&TE is

calibrated, and the previous record should be retained

in the maintenance history file. The usage record for

each item of M&TE should be retained in the issue

area.

3.4.3.4.2

Test equipment whose calibration has expired may be

used only with written request from the operations

manager and approval of the standards laboratory

manager. If this situation occurs, the test equipment

shall be calibrated as soon as feasible.

If the

calibration data reflect out-of-tolerance values, the

maintenance performed with this test instrument shall

be evaluated (see Section 3.4.5). M&TE with an

expired calibration should be identified by a "rejected"

sticker and placed in a location to satisfy Section

3.4.3.2.1 of this procedure.

3.4.3.5

Control

3.4.3.5.1

The control process used for M&TE should be a well

established Recall Program containing, as a minimum

the following controls:

Total inventory listing

Calibration DUE notices - weekly

Individual automatic

job

opener

and

information cards

Calibration OVERDUE notices - weekly
