ISO 9001 Clause 7.1.5 Compliance Self-Assessment

Answer 10 questions about your calibration management practices. Get an instant compliance score with specific recommendations for each gap.

7.1.5.1

Do you maintain a complete register of all calibrated equipment (including ID, type, serial number, location, and calibration interval)?

7.1.5.2(a)

Are calibration intervals specified and documented for each equipment type (not just "we do them annually")?

7.1.5.2(a)

Are all calibrations traceable to international or national measurement standards (e.g., NPL via UKAS-accredited laboratory)?

7.1.5.2(b)

Can you identify the calibration status of each instrument (current, due, or overdue) at any time?

7.1.5.2(a)

Do you have any instruments currently overdue for calibration?

7.1.5.2(c)

Are instruments protected from adjustments that would invalidate calibration (e.g., sealed adjustment points, controlled access)?

7.1.5.2

Do you have a documented out-of-tolerance procedure (what to do when equipment fails calibration)?

7.1.5.2

Can you link each calibration certificate directly to the equipment record it covers (not just stored in a folder)?

7.1.5.2(a)

Do you include measurement uncertainty values on calibration certificates (or receive them from your calibration provider)?

7.1.5

Can you generate a calibration summary report for your auditor on demand (not assembled manually from multiple sources)?

What this assessment covers

This self-assessment checks your calibration management against the key requirements of ISO 9001:2015 Clause 7.1.5 — Monitoring and measuring resources. It covers equipment identification, calibration intervals, traceability, out-of-tolerance procedures, and documentation.
