Calibration work

Record calibration work

Create a draft, follow the guided work plan, and submit complete calibration evidence.

The calibration hub shows saved progress, blockers, and links to focused evidence pages.

A calibration event records one piece of work completed for one requirement. The event overview is a read-only hub: use it to understand progress and jump to the focused page for each evidence task.

Before you start

  • Use an active requirement for the equipment.
  • Confirm the performer and performed date.
  • Check the frozen procedure, measurement, reference-standard, uncertainty, conformity, and certificate controls.
  • Have permission to work on the assigned event.

Calculated uncertainty always requires structured measurement evidence. Externally reported uncertainty can instead come from supplied documentary evidence.

Create the draft

  1. Open Calibration work or the equipment requirement.
  2. Select Record calibration work.
  3. Confirm the requirement, performed date, performer, and known summary details.
  4. Review the inherited work controls and planned evidence path.
  5. Select Create draft and continue.

The created draft opens at its calibration hub. No evidence is edited on this page.

Follow the work plan

Metra determines readiness, blockers, progress, and the recommended next action. Use Continue calibration for the safest next task, or open an available task directly.

The work plan shows this sequence:

  1. Select eligible reference standards when required.
  2. Start or resume the controlled procedure.
  3. Record structured measurements.
  4. Calculate or record measurement uncertainty.
  5. Calculate conformity decisions.
  6. Complete the result and technical summary.
  7. Upload external certificate evidence or resolve generated-certificate readiness, according to the frozen route.
  8. Review readiness and submit.

This order is your map, but Continue calibration can jump if prerequisites or saved progress require a different step first. A focused task can remain blocked until prerequisites are complete.

Save long-running work

Each completed step is saved immediately as fixed execution evidence. If you leave, sign out, or return later, Metra resumes at the first unresolved required step.

Submit for review

Open Submission review from the work plan. Resolve every blocker, review warnings, and select Submit for approval when the Metra allows it.

Submitting freezes the event details and the exact procedure execution, measurement revision, standard usage, traceability assessment, uncertainty evaluation, conformity evidence, acknowledgements, and certificate version used.

The performer or submitter cannot approve their own event. A different authorised quality user must approve or reject it.
