Instrument Calib.

[Bates Estabrooks <besta@tis.eh.doe.gov>]

A colleague of mine poses this question to RADSAFE:

ANSI N323-1978 Sec. 5.3 states: "calibration shall be reestablished
after maintenance or repair. . . but in no case at intervals greater
than three years."

Does this mean that instruments that are in inventory, but not in use,
need to be pulled off the shelf and calibrated every three years?  If
so, how do various sites implement this?

Thanks.
