Introduction
The 1100R+ Performance Verification Kit allows you to verify the calibration and proper
operation of the 1100R+ tester. Each performance verification kit has a life cycle of two
years from the time of purchase. At the end of two years, the kit can be recalibrated or
replaced. All components for this performance verification kit are tested with instruments
traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
You should run performance verification on your 1100R+ tester at least once a year,
and any time you suspect that the tester is not operating properly. If any step in the
performance verification procedure fails, send the tester back to Cirris for repair.
No external adjustments can be made to fix the tester.
For information on setting up a quality system that meets national calibration standards
such as ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, and ISO 10012-1, see the appendix of this manual.
Disclaimer
All calibration procedures are performed in-house at the factory. Older versions of the
software may use the word “calibration” during the verification process. Note that in these
instances “calibration” means “verification”.

Appendix
The following information can be used a guide for setting up a formal quality system in
your organization.
Quality Standards
These standards are quality system requirements for organizations that perform quality
tests and use calibrated equipment. Establishing a quality system according to quality
standards ensures that tests are done competently and lends credibility to the
organization. In the United States, common quality standards include ANSI/NCSL Z540-
1, ISO/IEC Guide 25, ISO 10012-1, and the former MIL-STD 45662A.
You can review the ANSI/NCSL Z540 standard referred to above, as well as other helpful
metrology information, from the National Conference of Standards Laboratories
International (NCSL) at 1-303-440-3339 or www.ncsli.org. You can also review the ISO
standards from the International Standards Organization (ISO) at their web site
www.iso.net.
In the metrology industry, the word “standards” often refers to a centralized, most accurate
unit of measurement regulated by countries. The National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) maintains the national standards for measurements in the United
States.
Good Quality Practices
Quality standards, such as ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 and ISO 10012-1, require several good
practices for the calibration industry including the following areas:
•Recall System
How do you ensure that your company will remember to send an instrument in for
calibration? Use a card file or a computerized database recall system. This system
includes calibration dates, due dates, calibration sources, and other instrument
records. The recall system ensures that instruments are recalibrated in a timely
manner.
•Verification Labels
How do you know if calibration has been verified without looking for the paperwork?
When an instrument’s calibration is verified, the quality standards require the
instrument to be labeled as such. These labels, which are applied to instruments,
have fields for the instrument serial number, verification date, verification due date,
and by whom. A good source of inexpensive labels is United Ad Label at 1-800-992-
5755.
•Accuracy Ratios
Can you use a ruler to calibrate your digital calipers? The answer is no. Wherever
possible, quality standards require an accuracy ratio of at least four to one. In other
words, the insturment being used to measure the calibrated instrument should be at
least four times as accurate as the calibrated instrument.

Appendix 14
•Performance Verification Certificate
How do you know that an instrument has been verified? The Performance
Verification Certificate is a record of who, when, and by what equipment the
instrument was verified. An 1100R+ Performance Verification Certificate is
provided on the next page.
•Verification Data Report
How accurate is the calibrated test instrument in relation to its published
specifications? Some organizations require the measured values of an instrument to
be written down when that instrument is calibrated. Calibration laboratories typically
charge extra to create a data report. However, when an instrument is found to be
out-of-tolerance, the quality standards require the out-of-tolerance data to be
recorded in relation to the instrument specifications. A verification data report can fill
this requirement. You can photocopy the 1100R+ Verification Data Report from the
Appendix and fill it out.
•Traceability
Traceability refers to each unbroken link of valid verificationsoh going back to
national standards such as those maintained by the NIST in the United States. To
maintain traceablity, qualified personnel must perform the performance verification
under controlled conditions, using correctly calibrated instruments with correct test
accuracy ratios.
Several years ago NIST numbers (ie. reference numbers issued on NIST reports)
were commonly copied on successive certificates as a means of showing
traceability. This practice has been discontinued. Therefore, if you are writing a
performance verification procedure, do not require NIST numbers be copied on
reports to show traceability. NIST numbers are sometimes confused with other
numbers that calibration laboratories create for reference such as “asset numbers”,
“NIST trace numbers”, “ID numbers”, and report numbers. For more information
regarding the discontinued use of NIST numbers, contact Cirris for a copy of the
position paper from the National Conference of Standards Laboratories.
