For nuclear quality programs
Calibration records for an ASME NQA-1 quality program
ASME NQA-1 sets quality assurance requirements for nuclear facilities and applications, with firm expectations on the control of measuring and test equipment. Equipment must be calibrated against traceable standards, identified by status, and acted on when found out of tolerance, all under retained, defensible records. Axiospec gives NQA-1 programs one system to capture each calibration with its readings and reference standard and to keep records an auditor can follow.
What ASME NQA-1 asks of your measuring & test equipment
Control of measuring & test equipment
Equipment used in activities affecting quality must be controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified intervals against standards traceable to national standards, with status identified.
Action on out-of-tolerance equipment
When equipment is found out of calibration, the validity of prior results must be assessed and action taken on the equipment and affected items, with records retained.
Records
Calibration records must be retained, attributable, legible, and protected from unauthorized change.
How Axiospec helps ASME NQA-1 teams
Traceable calibration captured per instrument
Record the reference standard and certificate behind every calibration so traceability to national standards is visible on the asset.
Status visible across the program
Each instrument carries a live status (in tolerance, due, overdue, or quarantined) with automatic due-date tracking, helping keep out-of-calibration equipment out of use.
Impact assessment when results are in doubt
Reverse-trace from an out-of-tolerance instrument to the calibrations and items it touched so you can assess and document the effect on prior results.
Defensible, attributable records
Calibrations and adjustments are written to a hash-chained ledger with timestamps and e-signatures, with maker-checker sign-off available, then exported as a complete pack.
Control custody with the tool crib
Check measuring and test equipment out to a person with a due-back date, see who has what at a glance, and check it back in with one click, keeping a full chain of custody on the record. A Due Calendar surfaces what is due, due soon, and overdue, with compliance rolled up per site.
