Purpose

The layout for calibration certificates, containing every element required by ISO/IEC 17025 clauses 7.8.2 and 7.8.4, the Laboratory's standard statements (SOP-18 section 6.3), the reference standards table, the results tables, the decision rule section and the authorisation block. The template is implemented in the certificate generation system; this document is the controlled specification of its content.

What it covers

  • Header (every page)
  • Section 1 - Identification
  • Section 2 - Conditions and reference standards
  • Section 3 - Results
  • Section 4 - Statement of conformity (only where requested and agreed)
  • Section 5 - Remarks, deviations, opinions and interpretations
  • Section 6 - Standard statements
  • Section 7 - Authorisation

How to complete it

  1. 1.Populate every field from the worksheet and job file; never type results directly from memory.
  2. 2.Use the standard statements verbatim; alterations require Technical Manager approval.
  3. 3.For accredited work include the accreditation symbol and number in the header and identify any non-accredited result with an asterisk and the standard statement; omit the symbol entirely for non-accredited certificates.
  4. 4.State the sign convention (correction or error) once and use it consistently.
  5. 5.Include 'End of certificate' after the last item of content and page X of Y on every page.

Before you use it

  • Replace every square-bracket token, starting with [LABORATORY NAME], [ADDRESS] and [EFFECTIVE DATE]. The full token list is in GD-01 Read Me First.
  • Have the content technically reviewed against how your laboratory actually works, then approved by the responsible manager before it becomes a controlled document.
  • Update the Word fields after editing so the table of contents and page numbers are correct: select all, then press F9.
  • Record the document in your own document register and set its review date.
