Does your facility require instrument calibrations that
conform to MIL-STD-45662,with all of the recordkeeping
that 45662 requires? If so, Hewlett Packard Customer HP MILITARY STANDARD CALIBRATION SERVICE
Service Centers in the US.can now help you out.
All of HP's US. Customer Service Centers can now
perform calibrations in FULL compliance with
MIL-STD-45662. This is full compliance, not just "intent
and purpose." When appropriate, we are prepared to
be audited for assurance of that compliance.
Full compliance with 45662 includes the following

.
items:
Formal calibration procedures with recording of test

. results before and after any necessary adjustments.
Records of calibration dates and names of responsible

. individuals.
Records of accuracy of test standard's accuracy and

. controlled environmental conditions.
System of notification and recalibration when test
standards are found to be out-of-tolerance.
Hewlett Packard has invested substantial amounts of
money and effort into creating and supporting the
data management system for 45662 compliance. This
system permits HP to track calibrations performed on
customer's and HP's own equipment. Thus, if any of
HP's equipment is later found to have been outiof-
tolerance, HP will notify you and perform any necessary
re-calibration for free.
In summary, HP is confident of its ability to meet
your MIL-STD-45662 audit requirements. Your Spe ific Solution for
