Measurement management system certification is a quality assurance mechanism used to ensure the consistency and reliability of the measurement equipment and measurement processes involved in the production, R&D and service processes of an organization. It covers the comprehensive management from the calibration, use, and maintenance of measuring equipment to the design, implementation, and monitoring of the measurement process.
To certify a measurement management system, the following steps are usually followed:
1.Understand the certification requirements and standards: First of all, you need to understand the specific requirements and standards for the certification of measurement management systems, such as ISO 10012, etc. These standards and requirements are usually developed by an authoritative certification body to ensure the validity and reliability of the certification.
2.Establish a measurement management system: According to the certification requirements and standards, the organization needs to establish a complete measurement management system, including management regulations and operating procedures for the calibration, use, and maintenance of measurement equipment.
3.Implement internal audits: Organizations need to conduct regular internal audits of measurement management systems to ensure that they meet certification requirements and standards, and to identify and correct issues in a timely manner.
4.Apply for certification: When an organization believes that its measurement management system already meets the certification requirements and standards, it can apply for certification from a certification body. The certification body will review the submissions of the organization and conduct an on-site review to determine whether it meets the certification requirements and standards.
5.Get certified: If an organization passes an audit and an on-site audit by a certification body, it will receive a measurement management system certification. The certificate is usually valid for 3 years, during which time regular surveillance audits are required to maintain the validity of the certification.
By implementing measurement management system certification, organizations can ensure the consistency and reliability of their measurement equipment and measurement processes, improve product quality and production efficiency, reduce production costs, and enhance market competitiveness.
