other suitable techniques. When it cannot be determined which standard is
defective, the problem should be discussed with the supporting calibration
activity.
(2) Determine what caused the out-of-control limit condition.
(3) Return the defective standard to the supporting calibration
activity for repair and/or calibration after the problem has been discussed
with the supporting activity.
(4) For problems that
cannot
be
resolved
or
if
assistance
is
necessary contact the AMCC.
e. Maintenance of Records.
(1) Data resulting from visual inspections will be recorded on the
reverse side of the calibration report.
When a calibration report is not
furnished, data will be recorded as a separate record. As a minimum, data
will include: date of visual inspection, condition of standard, and
signature of person performing inspection. When damage is observed, a short
narrative explanation of the damage, suspected cause, and corrective action
taken will be recorded.
(2) Data resulting from intercomparison will also be recorded on the
reverse side of the calibration report.
When no calibration report is
furnished, data will be recorded on a separate record. Data to be recorded
will include: date in intercomparison, value(s) obtained, control limits,
and signature of person performing the intercomparison.
When agreement
between measurements is not obtained (item is not within control limits),
enter a short narrative description of the problem encountered and
corrective action taken.
(3) Upon request, a copy of these records will be forwarded to AMCC.
These records will be kept locally for three consecutive calibrations.
Records may be retained for a longer period when required for historical
data.

Technical Measurement Audits
This paragraph describes the technical measurement audits administered
by the AMCC to evaluate technical capabilities and proficiency of
calibration laboratory and team technicians, Army-wide.
Technical
measurement audits will be performed on a scheduled basis and at such other
times as may be necessary to identify deficiencies or to investigate problem
areas.
Audits will be designed to determine technical proficiency,
availability of requisite skills, technical information, uniformity of
measurement techniques and results, and to provide a uniform method of
evaluating the technical competence of organizational elements of the
calibration facility. Technical
