MODUK DEF STAN 05-055: PART 01 PDF

This Defence Standard is based on the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001 and BS EN ISO 10012 and covers:

a) The requirements for the management and calibration of Test and Measurement Equipment (TME) items and requirements for Calibration Laboratories. It applies to TME sent to a contractor for:

1) Calibration,

2) Repair,

3) Calibration after repair, and

4) when the contractor is required to travel to the TME to conduct the work.

Note: It also applies to those contracts, which include a combination of TME, and other equipment such as parts of a main system; in such contracts it is important that the requirements for the TME are identified and listed in the contract.

b) The Management and Control of Test and Measurement Equipment (TME) tested using Unit Level Tests.

Note: This is equipment which, because of its simplicity or mode of use, does not require periodic calibration but should be regularly checked against a working standard using an approved Unit Level Test Procedure (ULTP), under pre-defined and controlled conditions.
