Requirements For Equipment Returning From Outside Calibration

[briansalomon]

I have an ISO accrediting organization (well known) insisting that we start "verifying that equipment returning from outside calibration is within the specified manufacturer's tolerance".

In the past, we would audit shipping methods and packing material, verify the vehicles used had adequate padding etc...

At first I thought this was just a junior auditor who was just learning the ropes but the issue does not appear to be going away, and my QC manager (who is competent and reasonable) is searching for a solution.

Is anyone else getting this requirement form their accrediting organizations?

Have you found a reasonable way to comply?
