The challenges of test equipment management
The problems
Whether measuring devices, calibration tools or safety-relevant equipment – an overview of test equipment is essential for companies and operators.
In practice, however, central directories are often missing, inspection deadlines are overlooked, calibrations are not verified and devices used are not ready for use in case of doubt.
This jeopardizes process reliability and entails legal risks – especially in certified or safety-critical areas.
No central overview of available test equipment
Missed calibration or test intervals
Insufficient or even missing proof of test status and history
Uncertainty about operational capability and responsibilities
High manual effort for administration and documentation
Risk of complaints during audits or certifications
The solution
KENEXOS® manages your test equipment digitally, systematically and audit-proof.
Each device has its own digital file – with master data, inspection intervals, history and status display.
Pending tests are automatically displayed, documented and evaluated.
This gives you full control over all the test equipment used – at any time and from anywhere.
The advantages of KENEXOS®
Digital test equipment file with history, status and availability
Automatic reminder of calibration and test dates
Audit-proof storage of all test and calibration certificates
Integration with maintenance, laboratory management and plant management
Mobile recording and verification by technicians
Audit and certification-compliant documentation
Test equipment management is quality management
Test equipment management (also known as test equipment management, PMV) is part of quality management. It aims to ensure and maintain the quality, reliability, usability and readiness of test equipment in a company. Through monitoring, test equipment should be able to provide the required performance at all times. Test equipment management is therefore a method for increasing process capability.
Chapter 7.6 of the EN ISO 9001:2008 standard requires the introduction of a process that ensures the suitability and functionality of the test equipment.
In summary, test equipment management organizes the procurement, use and monitoring of test equipment.

Crucial for manufacturers
The reversal of the burden of proof in producer liability requires the manufacturer of products to test safety-relevant features, document the result and also provide evidence that the test equipment used is also subject to regular monitoring.
Without test equipment monitoring, manufacturers would not be able to prove in the event of damage that everything in their power was done to prevent the product from failing. Although test equipment monitoring alone is not sufficient, without it this proof can never be conclusively provided.
