Hello Jackie, good day. I am one of your recent new subscriber. I have a question. Our factory bought the thermometers to measure the temperatures of our workers before they enter factory every day. Should we include the thermometers as one part of our production monitoring equipments which calibration are needed to be carried regularly?
Hello @tszwailim4337 - well done. What you have identified is definitely something that should be monitored for accuracy. The use of the thermometers is to manage health in the business. In ISO 45001 Clause 9.1.1 (General) it states that The organization shall ensure that monitoring and measuring equipment is calibrated or verified as applicable, and is used and maintained as appropriate. Therefore your identification of these thermometers falls into that requirement. Well done!
Thanks for your question. I am not familiar with your business or set up, however determine if the maintenance machines are ALL critical to the outcomes of your final product. Those machines that are critical to these outcomes should be maintained and if calibration is part of this maintenance then yes. Determine whether there are international or national standards and if not go to the manufacturer for guidance.

Thank you
You're welcome!
Multimeter is not used in final product measurements so do we need to calibrate all maintenance machines

So we need to check production machines?
Possibly the answer in your other comment answers this one. Thanks
