Inspection software for electrical safety equipment businesses
What instruments does it cover?
2 instrument types, supplied with the software, each with a default interval, a calculation sheet and a measurement model checked against the standard it cites:
- Insulating Glove
- Insulating Mat
Anything not listed, you add as your own type, kept separate from the catalogue so that what the software has checked and what you have checked are never in the same list.
Which standards is the work done to?
- AS 2225
- IEC 60903
- AS/NZS 2978
Named on the field, never invented by the software. Where a standard sets a one-sided limit, the starting plan fills it in; where an accuracy belongs to the instrument in front of the technician, the plan leaves it blank, because a plausible number from nowhere is how a wrong tolerance reaches a certificate.
What happens on the bench?
An instrument of these types opens on the batch grid: hundreds of items against one standard's criteria, pass or fail, one-sided limits, next-test-due tags printed at the point of test. Readings are typed or taken from a connected instrument; the arithmetic runs in a deterministic engine that recomputes at issue and refuses on any mismatch. Starting plans supplied for this field: Insulating glove proof test. Each is copied into your own plans and completed there.
What does the report say?
Whether each item met the criteria, who inspected it and when, and the next test due. It carries no uncertainty and no grade, and the system refuses an accreditation mark on it, because inspection is ISO/IEC 17020 and a separate scheme. Our page for businesses that calibrate and inspect shows both documents on one invoice.
How often?
Six months for gloves in service, twelve for mats. Shorter than most fields because the consequence of a failure is electrocution rather than a wrong number. The recall then runs itself: one email a month per customer listing everything due or overdue.
CalibraWorks is inspection software for electrical safety equipment work in Australia: 2 instrument types to AS 2225, IEC 60903 and AS/NZS 2978, from enquiry to report to invoice to recall, built to ISO/IEC 17025 with the records kept as you work.
Questions about electrical safety equipment
- What does a electrical safety equipment report carry?
- That each item met or did not meet the criteria of the standard named, who inspected it and when, the next test due, and a QR code a site supervisor can verify without an account. It carries no measurement uncertainty, no grade, and never an accreditation mark, because inspection is a separate scheme (ISO/IEC 17020) from calibration.
- Our instruments are not all in this list. Can we add our own types?
- Yes, on every plan. A type you create starts on the general tolerance-band sheet, is listed separately from the supplied catalogue so the register never implies the software vouches for it, and takes your own procedure. The catalogue types are checked against the standard they cite; yours are validated by you, which is what §7.2.2 asks.
- How often should these be calibrated or inspected?
- Six months for gloves in service, twelve for mats. Shorter than most fields because the consequence of a failure is electrocution rather than a wrong number. The interval is yours to set per instrument type and per customer; the software records it and drives the recall from it, and never prints a recommendation on a certificate unless the customer has agreed one (§7.8.4.3).
- Does choosing this field restrict what else we can do?
- No. A field shapes the defaults a laboratory starts with: its instrument types, its starting plans, and the vocabulary on empty screens. A pressure laboratory can calibrate a torque wrench the same afternoon, and a force laboratory can inspect lifting gear. Mixed deliveries go on one job, and the document follows the item.
