| How many of us have been on the receiving end of a weeklong QA audit? Every day you methodically work through another few sections of the 18-point QA/QC books. Inevitably, the auditor will find a few non-conformances. Predictably, many of these NCR’s (at least to many of us) are for minor mistakes and often for some break in a chain of traceability. |
| This is where calibration labels come in. With hundreds of instruments to monitor, employee records to maintain and daily shipments, quality control labels have a vital role. Too many times, it all comes down to small label. Was this instrument calibrated? Has an MRR been received on this incoming material? Where are your hold areas? |

| I know, first hand, the importance of calibration labels to your program. I have gone through countless audits and believe, frankly, that we were the only label company to ever pass the tough on-site Nuclear and NRC QA audits (that became the basis for much of the ISO 9000 standards). |
| Too many times, the integrity of your Quality program rests on a, seemingly, innocuous labels. Yet, to us, Calibration and Quality Control Labels matter. Although a label can never "fix" a broken Quality program, labels are certainly a vital part of your traceability and maintenance procedures. Importantly, they are a critical signal that you are in control. |
| Quality does not just mean dependability, but continuous improvements too. We all acknowledge that the quality industry has changed over the last 30 years. Calibration labels and quality control labels have also changed. They are smaller. More are customized with your organization's name, avoiding the inevitable confusion that might result from a label that is hurriedly and illegibly completed in the field. There are countless variations in calibration label materials, sizes and legends to work with the exploding complexity of devices that must be labeled. More and more assets and inventory require labels then ever before. And, these labels are more frequently updated. |
| Throughout, we have been on the forefront of innovation and dependability. Even though labels have become more complex, our own mission is to still make it easy to find and then order the right calibration label for your organization. |
