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.
