Committees of the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating
Committees of the IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees
serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessar-
ily members of the Institute. The standards developed within IEEE
represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the

Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an
IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways t o produce,

related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint
expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to
change brought about through developments in the state of the art and
comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard
is subjected to review at least every five years for revision or reaffir-
mation. When a document is more than five years old and has not
been reaffirmed, it is reasonable t o conclude that its contents, al-
though still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the

edition of any IEEE Standard.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any
interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE.
Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a pro-

Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the
meaning of portions of standards as they relate t o specific applica-
tions. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of
IEEE, the Institute will initiate action t o prepare appropriate re-

also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason
IEEE and the members of its technical committees are not able t o

 (This Foreword is not a part of IEEE Std 498-1990, IEEE Standard Requirements for the Calibration and Control of
Measuring and Test Equipment Used in Nuclear Facilities).

This standard sets forth the Quality Assurance requirements for the calibration and
control of measuring and test equipment used in the construction, operation, maintenance, and
modification of nuclear facilities. It is intended to be used in conjunction with ANSUASME NQA-
1-1989, Quality Assurance Program Requirements for Nuclear Facilities, and ANSIIASME NQA-
2-1989, Quality Assurance Requirements for Nuclear Power Plants, with respective addenda t o
and including ANSYASME NQA-la-1989 and ANSYASME NQA-2a-1989.
This standard originally was prepared by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) in response to a request by the American National Standards Committee N45,
Reactor Plants and their Maintenance. The N45 committee was chartered to promote the
development of standards for the location, design, construction and maintenance of nuclear
reactors, and plants embodying nuclear reactors, including equipment, methods, and components
specifically for this purpose.
In October of 1972, the IEEE Nuclear Power Engineering Committee established
Subcommittee 8 (SC-8) t o develop standards on Quality Assurance. A working group (SC-8.1) from
this subcommittee was organized in April of 1973 to develop a standard t o provide supplementary
requirements for the calibration and control of measuring and test equipment used in the
construction and maintenance of nuclear power generating stations. This working group was
composed of representatives of key segments of the nuclear industry, including utilities, reactors
suppliers, construction contractors, component manufacturers, consultants, and the United States
Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
The standard was revised in 1985 to include applicability to Nuclear Facilities other than
Nuclear Power Generating Stations. Nuclear facilities include facilities for power generation,
spent fuel storage, waste storage, fuel processing, nuclear and radioactive materials processing,
and fuel fabrication.
During 1989 and 1990, the standard was revised t o clarify certain aspects of the
requirements and t o expand on applicable aspects of personnel training and qualification, control
of purchased calibration services, handling, shipping, and storage, and computer software
program verification. Significant consideration was given during the development of this revised
standard t o the possibility of reducing the 4:l greater accuracy ratio requirement when calibrating
reference standards against other reference standards. Article 17.1.12.7 and 17.2.12.1 of NUREG-
0800 “Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants,
LWR Edition,” dated June 1987, grants relief in allowing reference standards t o be calibrated
against standards of “greater accuracy.” The 4:1 greater accuracy requirement for standards that
calibrate M&TE was not relieved in NUREG-0800. The working group consensus was that such
an across the board relaxing of the accuracy requirements for calibration of reference standards
would not serve the best interest of the industry and was, therefore, not incorporated into IEEE 498-
1990.

Working Group, had the following membership:

 IEEE Standard Requirements for the Calibration
and Control of Measuring and Test Equipment
Used in Nuclear Facilities
1.Introduction
1.1 Scope. This Standard sets forth the
requirements for a calibration program t o
control and verify the accuracy of measuring
and test equipment used to ensure that safety
systems [511 of a nuclear facility are in con-
formance with prescribed technical
requirements and that data provided by test-
ing, inspection, or maintenance are valid.
These requirements also cover modifi-
cations and those activities occurring during
the operating phase that are comparable in
nature and extent to related activities occur-
ring during the initial construction of the
facility.
During the construction phase and when
modifications are being performed, this
standard shall be used in conjunction with
the applicable portions of ANSYASME NQA-
1-1989 [212and ANSYASME NQA-2-1989 [31
with respective addenda t o and including
ANWASME NQA-la-1989 and ANSYASME
NQA-2a-1989 t o the extent specified by the
organization invoking t h i s s t a n d a r d .
During the operations phase this standard
shall be used with the applicable portions of
ANSYANS 3.2-1988 [l13.

in lieu of those found in ANWASME NQA-1
[ 2 ] and ANSYASME NQA-2 [31.
1.2 Applicability. The requirements of this
standard apply t o the measuring and test
equipment used during the installation,
inspection, test, calibration, and main-
tenance activities performed for a nuclear
facility. Measuring and test equipment does
not include that used for preliminary checks
where data obtained will not be used to deter-
mine acceptability or be the basis for design
or engineering evaluation. Calibration and
control measures may not be required for
rulers, tape measures, levels, and other such
devices if commercial equipment provides
accuracy adequate t o meet specified re-
quirements.
Selection of measuring and test equipment
shall be controlled t o assure that such items
are of the proper type, range, accuracy, res-
olution, and tolerance t o accomplish the
function of determining conformance t o
specified requirements.
The extent t o which the individual
requirements of this standard apply will
depend upon the nature and scope of the work
t o be performed and the importance of the
item or service involved.
The requirements of this standard are
intended to be applied t o measuring and test
equipment used on safety systems; however,
they may also be applied t o measuring and
test equipment used on nonsafety-related
systems and equipment.
1.3 Responsibility. I t is the responsibility of
the organization invoking this standard t o
provide for the establishment and execution
of an appropriate calibration program for the
facility consistent with the provisions of this
standard. The work of establishing practices
and procedures and providing the resources
in terms of personnel, equipment, and ser-
vices t o implement the requirements of this

IEEE IEEE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CALIBRATION AND CONTROL
498-1990
In general, the inaccuracy of the reference
standards shall contribute no more than one
fourth of the allowable measuring and test
equipment tolerance. T h a t is, reference
standards utilized to calibrate measuring
and test equipment shall have a minimum
accuracy four times greater than the measur-
ing and test equipment being calibrated. The
accuracy requirement is satisfied when the
M&TE is calibrated by a reference standard
with a minimum 4:l higher accuracy ratio,
and when that reference standard is trace-
able through a series of calibrations, using
reference standards also of 4:l greater accu-
racy, back t o the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) or other
appropriate governing laboratory standard.
This is depicted in Fig 1.
If it is impractical t o maintain these
accuracy ratios, the rationale for deviating
from these requirements shall be justified,
documented, and authorized by responsible
management. It should be noted that human
error is not included in the above accuracy
requirements.
In the case of radioactive sources used in
calibration, allowances shall be made for
corrections of the half life of the source and
this shall be documented for each date the
reference standard is used.
5.2 Q u a l i f i c a t i o n a n d Training o f
Personnel. Personnel who calibrate mea-
suring and test equipment and reference
standards shall be qualified for the activities
they perform by education, previous experi-
ence, and/or training and shall be cognizant
of the requirements for control of measuring
and test equipment and reference standards.
Minimum qualification criteria shall be
established and shall be used in personnel
selection considerations. Periodic training
t o maintain adequate personnel qualifica-
tion levels shall be conducted.
5.3 C o n t r o l of Purchased C a l i b r a t i o n
Services. Measures shall be established to
verify the acceptable "approved supplier"
status of calibration service suppliers. This
shall be accomplished by audit, monitoring
compliance with the Quality Assurance
Program, source surveillance evaluation of
technical capabilities, or by other docu-
mented basis appropriate t o the importance
10
and/or complexity of the calibration service
being supplied.
5.4 Handling, Shipping and Storage.
Provisions shall be established t o delineate
the required methods for handling, shipping,
and storage of measuring and test equipment
and reference standards such that their cali-
bration status and accuracy is not adversely
affected.
5.5 Environmental Controls.Measuring and
test equipment and reference standards shall
be calibrated and stored in environments
that will not adversely affect their accuracy.
T h e o r g a n i z a t i o n e s t a b l i s h i n g en-
vironmental controls shall consider design
requirements of the design organization or
manufacturer of the equipment.
Environmental factors t h a t shall be con-
sidered include, but shall not be limited to,
temperature, humidity, vibration, ac power
regula t i on a n d conditioning, radio -
frequency interference, electromagnetic
interference, background radiation, dust,
cleanliness, and fumes.
When inaccuracy of measuring and test
equipment or reference standards cannot be
avoided due to environmental effects, com-
pensating corrections shall be determined
and applied a s appropriate. These compen-
sating corrections shall be based on industry,
manufacturer, or design organization
approved compensating relationships, the
basis for which shall be documented and
justified.
The degree of consideration given t o the
control of environmental parameters shall
be justified and documented, and shall be
commensurate with the sensitivity of the
measuring and test equipment and reference
standards.
5.6 Precalibration Check. Measuring and
test equipment and reference standards
submitted for calibration shall be checked
and the results recorded before any required
adjustments or repairs are made.
5.7 Intervals of Calibration. The program
shall require that measuring and test equip-
ment and reference standards be recalled for
recalibration a t prescribed intervals t o verify
the required accuracy. Such intervals may
OF MEASURING AND TEST EQUIPMENT USED IN NUCLEAR FACILITIES
be in calendar time or relate t o usage.
Interval selection should consider experi-
ence, inherent stability, purpose of use, and
accuracy required. Historical records that
contain sufficient experience data for eval-
uating and adjusting calibration intervals
shall be maintained.
5.8 T r a c e a b i l i t y . Measuring and test
equipment shall be calibrated utilizing ref-
erence standards whose calibration has a
known valid relationship t o nationally
recognized standards or accepted values of
natural physical constants. If no national
standard exists, the basis for calibration
shall be documented.
Reference standards used in the calibra-
tion program shall be identified on
calibration data records and supported by
certificates, reports, or data sheets attesting to
the calibration date, calibration facility, en-
vironmental conditions, and data that shows
conformance t o accuracy requirements.
5.9 Labeling. Measuring and test equipment
shall be labeled t o indicate its calibration
status. The label shall indicate when the
next calibration is due. When size or
functional characteristics of measuring and
test equipment o r reference standards
prevent the application of a label, an
identifying code shall be applied t o reflect
status. When neither labeling nor coding is
practical, the procedures shall provide for
monitoring of records t o ensure control.
Measuring and test equipment whose use is to
be limited shall be identified and controlled;
examples include,a multi-scaled instrument
that may be acceptable on one or more scales
but limited on a specific scale or an instru-
ment that is used for making preliminary
checks only.
5.10 Nonconformance. Measuring and test
equipment and reference standards found to
be out of calibration or that have not been
properly maintained or calibrated, o r that
have been lost or subjected t o possible
11
IEEE
4981990
damage, shall be identified as nonconform-
ing and removed from service as appropriate
until such time as corrective measures have
been taken. If any measuring or test equip-
ment or reference standard is consistently
found t o be out of calibration, it shall be
repaired or replaced, the calibration interval
adjusted, or other corrective action taken.
All equipment tested or calibrated by the
nonconforming items since the last calibra-
tion shall be identified and sufficient
investigations performed t o either re-
establish the acceptability of the equipment,
or t o confirm a nonconformance. The results
of such investigations shall be documented.
Corrective measures shall include notifica-
tion of affected parties when appropriate.
5.11 Verification of C o m p u t e r Software
Programs. Verification of computer software
programs utilized in performing computer
controlled instrument calibrations shall be
accomplished by independent computations
o r alternate verification methods. The
verification process and results shall be
documented.
6. Audits
The calibration program, in its entirety, is
subject to audit in accordance with the re-
quirements of t h e Quality Assurance
Program.
7. Document control
Equipment identification lists, procedures,
calibration records, personnel qualification
reports, and nonconformance reports shall be
retained with other project records a s re-
quired by codes, standards, specifications, or
project procedures.
Collection, storage and maintenance of
these records shall be in accordance with the
Quality Assurance Program.
