APPENDIX C

USES AND PREPARATION OF DA CALIBRATION LABELS AND FORMS

C-1. Purpose. This appendix provides instructions and procedures for the use and

preparation of the U.S. Army Calibrated Instrument (DA Label 80), the U.S. Army

Limited or Special Calibration (DA Label 163), and the U.S. Army Calibration System

Rejected Instrument (DA Form 2417).

C-2. Applicability. This appendix is applicable to instrument owners/users, DS/GS/

AVIM units, TSAs, and the USAPSL.

C-3. General. Elements of all Army activities that provide TMDE support will use the

DA Label 80, DA Label 163, and DA Form 2417. Overprinting of DA Labels 80 and 163 is

authorized in accordance with paragraph C-7 below.

C-4. U.S. Army Calibrated Instrument Label (DA Label 80, Figure C-1)

NOTE

Figure C-1 is depicted several times larger than the actual

DA Label 80.

a. Uses:

(1) Verifies that the instrument was calibrated to the specifications listed in an

approved calibration procedure or specifications stated on the calibration report

identified in block 4.

(2) Indicates that with normal care in handling and use during the calibration

interval (indicated by the date calibrated and the date calibration is void), the operating

characteristics of the instrument will have an acceptable probability of remaining within

the specified tolerances listed in the approved calibration procedure for the instrument,

or uncertainties given on the calibration report identified in block 4.

b. Preparation. The individual who accomplishes calibration of an instrument will

complete a DA Label 80 as follows:

(1) Block 1 - Date Calibrated.

Enter the calendar date that calibration was

completed.

(2) Block 2 - Calibrated. The activity which performs the calibration service will

be identified by entering the activity's UIC.

NOTE

A rubber stamp may be used to identify the calibration

activity (block 2) and the calibrator (block 4).
