Environmental Conditions

2 Other environmental conditions such as: humidity,

dust,

vibration, etc. will be discussed in lesson 3 of this subcourse.

(c) Initially identify to AMCC the calibration standards that

require calibration by the US Army Standards Laboratory (USASL) for

inclusion in the automatic recall system.

Assures those standards are

shipped to the USASL for calibration within the specific interval or in

accordance with the recall schedule established by the AMCC.

(d) Make intercomparison checks of newly calibrated standards

received from the USASL in accordance with TB 9-4931-489-50, to assure no

degradation during transit.

The USASL test report for the standard will

include the date the standard was compared, value obtained, and signature of

responsible individual.

(e) Provide calibration service for calibration standards that are

identified as requiring calibration and adhere to the specified calibration

intervals.

(f) Perform preventative maintenance on components of calibration

standards sets and perform repair/overhaul in accordance with pertinent

publications.

(g) Adhere to AMCC overhaul/repair instructions for unserviceable

calibration standards that are designated in TB 43-180 as required USASL

calibration.

The calibration laboratory will pack and ship these

unserviceable standards in accordance with instructions from AMCC.

(h) Provide calibration laboratory service within the installation

where the laboratory is located and within the assigned geographic area for

calibration standards and TMDE in accordance with TB 43-180.

(i) Establish and maintain a recall system (using DA Form 2416) to

automatically schedule calibration service for calibration standards and

TMDE requiring calibration by a laboratory.

Assure service is provided

within the specified interval. Use automatic data processing equipment and

techniques, if available.

(j) Assist AMCC in evaluating calibration standards, calibration

techniques, and procedures as required.

(k) Prepare calibration correction charts as necessary.

(l) Comply with all requirements of the AMCC measurement audits.

(m) Provide to AMCC that management indicator data required for

overall analysis of the Army Calibration System.
