REPAIRING & MAINTENANCE

Calibration is a preventative maintenance process that verifies the accuracy of a device, while repair is a corrective action that restores functionality. 

Repair 

• Restores functionality to a device that is already faulty or broken
• A corrective action that is taken when a device is already faulty or broken

Handling out-of-calibration equipment 

• Segregate, quarantine, recall, reinspect, or retest the equipment
• Repair or rework the equipment
