Calibration
ISO 7.1.5 — how to register monitoring & measuring equipment, record calibration events (date, result, certificate), understand the four statuses (OK, Due soon, Overdue, Uncalibrated), and manage the calibration register in Brytebuild.
Section 01
What is Calibration?
2 minutes
The Calibration register in Brytebuild is the ISO 7.1.5 compliant log of all monitoring and measuring equipment (gauges, calipers, torque tools, CMMs, etc.) used in your quality processes. It tracks when each instrument was last calibrated, when it is next due, and whether it is currently fit for use.
- Every piece of measuring equipment is registered with a unique asset code (e.g.
EQ-2026-0001) - Calibration events are logged against the equipment — each entry recomputes the status and next-due date
- Equipment with a Pass result and a future due date shows as OK
- Equipment is flagged Due soon or Overdue when its next-due date is approaching or has passed
- A calibration interval (in days) can be set so the system automatically computes the next-due date when no explicit date is provided
Adding equipment creates the instrument record only. Actual calibration events (date, result, certificate) are recorded separately from the equipment detail page — the same pattern as Document Control.

| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Number | The unique asset code — e.g. EQ-2026-0001 (auto-assigned) or a custom code like CMM-01. Immutable once saved. |
| Equipment | The instrument name — e.g. Vernier Caliper — 150mm. |
| Location | Where the instrument is physically stored — e.g. Quality Lab, Assembly Bay. |
| Last Calibrated | The date of the most recent calibration entry. Blank if no calibration has ever been recorded. |
| Next Due | The next calibration due date. Highlighted in amber (due soon) or red (overdue). |
| Status | OK — calibrated and within date. Due soon — approaching due date. Overdue — past due date. Uncalibrated — no calibration ever recorded. See Section 06. |
Section 03
Adding equipment
2 minutes
Click + Add equipment (top-right of the Calibration page) to open the form inline above the list. This creates the instrument record — calibration entries are added from the detail page after saving.

Auto EQ-… when blank
Used for next-due when a record has no due date
| Field | Required | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Required | The instrument name — e.g. Vernier Caliper — 150mm, Torque Wrench — 10–60 Nm. Include the range or key spec to distinguish identical instrument types. |
| Asset Code | Optional | A custom reference — e.g. CMM-01. Leave blank for the auto-assigned EQ-YYYY-NNNN format. Immutable once saved. |
| Type | Optional | The instrument category — e.g. Dimensional, Torque, Temperature, Pressure. Free text — use whatever classification your lab uses. |
| Location | Optional | Where the instrument is physically stored — e.g. Quality Lab, Assembly Bay, Goods-in. Shown in the register list. |
| Calibration Interval (Days) | Optional | How many days between calibrations — e.g. 365 for annual, 182 for 6-monthly. Used to calculate the next-due date when a calibration entry has no explicit due date set. |
Clicking Edit Equipment from the detail footer opens the same form with all current values pre-filled and editable. The asset code becomes read-only once saved.

Calibration History
Each entry recomputes the equipment status and next-due date server-side
No calibrations yet
Recorded calibration events for this equipment will appear here.
Once calibration events are recorded, the history table looks like this:
Calibration History
Each entry recomputes the equipment status and next-due date server-side
| Date | Result | Next Due | Performed By | Certificate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-07-29 | Pass | 2027-07-29 | Syed Naqeeb ul Haq | vernier_cal_cert_2026.pdf |
| 2025-07-14 | Pass | 2026-07-14 | Syed Naqeeb ul Haq | vernier_cal_cert_2025.pdf |
| Section | What it contains |
|---|---|
| Equipment Details | 7-column grid showing Number, Name, Type, Location, Interval (Days), Status and Last Calibrated. Plus a Next Due row below. All values recomputed from calibration history. |
| Calibration History | Table of all past calibration entries — Date, Result, Next Due, Performed By and Certificate. Shows "No calibrations yet" when empty. |
| + Record Calibration | Inline form within the Calibration History section. Fill in date, next due, result, performer and optional certificate file, then click Save calibration. |
Section 05
Recording a calibration
3 minutes
From the equipment detail page, click + Record calibration at the bottom of the Calibration History section. Fill in the fields and click Save calibration. Each entry immediately recomputes the equipment status and next-due date.
Calibration History
Each entry recomputes the equipment status and next-due date server-side
No calibrations yet
Recorded calibration events for this equipment will appear here.
Record Calibration
| Field | Required | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
| Date | Required | The date the calibration was performed. Defaults to today. Format: dd/mm/yyyy. |
| Next Due | Optional | The date the next calibration is due. If left blank, the system calculates it by adding the calibration interval (days) to the calibration date. Set explicitly to override the interval. |
| Result | Optional | The outcome — Pass or Fail. A Pass result with a future next-due date sets the equipment status to OK. A Fail sets it to Overdue regardless of dates. |
| Performed By | Optional | The person who carried out the calibration — e.g. Syed Naqeeb ul Haq. Free text or a staff member lookup. |
| Certificate | Optional | Upload the calibration certificate file (PDF). Linked from the history table. Recommended for external lab calibrations. |
You never set the status manually. Every time you save a calibration entry, the server recomputes both the equipment status and next-due date from all the entries for that instrument. The most recent entry with a Pass result and a future next-due date determines the OK status.
Section 06
Calibration status guide
1 minute
Equipment status is computed automatically from the calibration history. No manual setting is possible:
Uncalibrated
No calibration entry has ever been recorded for this instrument. Do not use for measurements until at least one Pass entry is recorded.
OK
The most recent calibration entry has a Pass result and the next-due date is in the future. The instrument is fit for use.
Due soon
The next-due date is approaching (within the system's warning window — typically 30 days). Plan and schedule the next calibration now.
Overdue
The next-due date has passed or the most recent result was Fail. Remove from use immediately and arrange recalibration before using in inspections or production.
ISO 7.1.5 requires that out-of-calibration instruments are not used for measurements. Inspection results recorded using Overdue equipment may not be valid for compliance purposes. If an Overdue instrument was used in an inspection, raise an NCR to document the deviation.
Section 07
Editing and deleting equipment
1 minute
From the equipment detail footer, click Edit Equipment to open the edit form — identical to the Add equipment form with all current values pre-filled. The asset code field is read-only. Click Save changes to apply.
| Footer button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Go Back | Returns to the equipment list without any changes. |
| Delete | Permanently removes the equipment record and all its calibration history. Use with caution — this cannot be undone and will remove the audit trail. |
| Edit Equipment | Opens the edit form (same as Add equipment) to update the name, type, location or interval. The asset code is read-only once saved. |
