Mic before use Gages?

Hi guys, we have our ISO audit coming up and every one is freaking out about it. I've been told to make sure everything has a clean and legible calibration sticker, but we have some gages that are "mic before use"/"verify before use" gages and I have NO idea how to label them and my manager isn't helping. We have spots for calibrator, date, date due, and gage number but I have no information for the calibrator, date, or date due because, well, they aren't really calibrated. I don't want to label them wrong because I'll get in trouble if the auditor doesn't like them, but I have no idea how to label them correctly. This was the only place I could think of to get help.

Thanks.

  • We have some tools labeled "Calibrate Each Use". This has passed all of our audits with no issues. Our pinch calipers and bore gages come to mind. For the pinch calipers we verify them using our calibrated gage blocks around the nominal thickness. Bore gages we calibrate using our gage blocks or our calibrated ring gages. It doesn't matter what you calibrate (verify) it to as long as it is a calibrated tool, EX: gage blocks/ring gages.
