The economic QPT way, as per Chapter 7.1.5.3.1. Internal laboratories

IATF 16949:2016 is the industry standard in the automotive industry for quality management systems around the world. IATF 16949:2016 goes back to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 and also defines additional specific requirements for the automotive industry and its suppliers.

Here you will also find it noted that measuring equipment hast to be recalibrated by a DAkkS calibration laboratory. Now the question is: What do you do with measuring systems that cannot be sent to a DAkkS calibration laboratory? For example, the following measuring systems: contour measurement devices, thread-measuring devices, form- and position-measuring devices (roundness measuring device), roughness-depth measuring devices, 3D measuring machines, length-measuring devices, profile projectors….

One solution is the procedure referred to in Chapter 7.1.5.3.1. Internal laboratories. The QPT has taken this point into account and prepared a procedure for the recalibration of measuring systems on site in compliance with the IATF 16949 standard.

• Traceable documentation, available at any time on the QPT web server
• Considerably more cost-effective, as no DAkkS certification is necessary
• Expansion of system knowledge of employees on site
