Monitoring and measuring equipment

Not really; there are such institutions

Our facility: Pressure gauges on pressure vessels are inspected; other types of pressure gauges are not inspected. Flammable gas detectors are inspected sometimes but not always. Thermometers and thermocouples are not inspected. Balances and platform scales are inspected to some extent. Flow meters are not inspected, and experimental measuring instruments are not inspected either.

This is not necessarily the case; some devices are subject to external mandatory inspections, some to internal inspections, and some require no inspection at all. Below are our company’s regulations: The monitoring and measurement equipment in our factory is classified into four categories: A, B, C, and D. Category A: These are working measuring instruments that fall within the scope of mandatory inspection; examples include those used in trade settlement, safety protection, medical and health care, and environmental monitoring, all of which are subject to mandatory inspection. Category B: Secondary measurement standards used as a basis for traceability of measurement values, as well as measuring instruments used for product quality inspection, control of production processes, and management of key energy resources ； Class C: Measurement equipment with stable performance, whose values do not change easily; it has no direct impact on product quality and does not provide important parameters for the manufacturing process. Category D: Monitors that are purchased along with the production equipment and form part of it; they have no direct impact on product quality, serving only to display or give indications, and are monitoring devices with no specific quantitative requirements. Regulations on the Classification and Management of Monitoring and Measuring Equipment: Working measuring instruments classified as Category A and B, which fall within the scope of mandatory verification, are subject to regular inspection by external parties at specified intervals in accordance with the regulations. After the testing results are deemed satisfactory by the measuring instrument management department, a compliance label is attached and the instrument is handed over for use on site; the relevant testing records are then archived by the measuring instrument management department. Class C instruments are subject to comparison testing by the instrumentation management department in accordance with relevant standards; once the comparison is successful, a compliance label is attached and the instrument is handed over for use by the field departments. The management department must retain the original comparison records ； Class D monitoring devices do not detect

Are none of the measuring instruments in the laboratory calibrated?

Items subject to mandatory inspection must be inspected on schedule; for those that are not mandatory, it depends on the specific circumstances. Those related to product quality and safety definitely need to be inspected, while others do not require inspection

There’s no way around mandatory inspection; it must be carried out. Additionally, it’s not complicated to create a bid for one’s own company, and those items that are not subject to mandatory inspection can be handled by the company itself.

Everyone, I’m not sure which regulation specifies which devices are included in monitoring and measuring equipment? Hope: lol Please give some advice

Our company only inspects the pressure gauges on pressure vessels. The electronic balances in the laboratory, as well as the load cells used in the workshops, are inspected partially every year as part of the 9001 certification process; the rest are inspected internally by our own team

Understanding of Clause 7.6 Control of Monitoring and Measuring Equipment in the \"Requirements of GB/T19001-2008 Quality Management System\" 7.6 Control of Monitoring and Measuring Equipment – Key points of understanding: ● Role of monitoring and measurement: --- Implementing process control； --- Provide compliance evidence or non-compliance deviation information ； --- Provide data for statistical analysis. ● Monitoring equipment and measuring equipment should be distinguished from one another, and different levels of control should be applied based on their respective functions and importance. --- Monitoring equipment are devices used to monitor the operational status of production and service provision processes; for example, production lines consist of instruments that display the operational status ； --- Measurement equipment are devices used to determine quantities and provide data through measurement, such as testing instruments, artistic work instruments, and measuring apparatus. ● It is necessary to select monitoring equipment that meets the requirements for surveillance and measurement; the functions, accuracy requirements, and measurement range of such equipment must all be in line with the monitoring requirements. ● To ensure the validity and reliability of the measured values, it is necessary to apply the controls specified in clauses a)–e) of the standard to the measuring equipment when required.
