calibration procedures refer to published documents that identify the technical

specifications of an instrument to be calibrated, the required measurement standards

and accuracies, and the detailed technical procedure to be used to perform a calibration.

* A copy of DA Form 3758-R is available at the back of this Technical Bulletin. It will be

locally reproduced on 81/2 x 11-inch paper. It is approved for electronic generation.

2-4 Instruments not Listed in TB 43-180

a. When instruments not listed in TB 43-180 are presented for C&RS, the

following actions are taken:

(1) A DA Form 3758-R is completed and submitted by the TMDE owner/user to

the supporting TSA IAW appendix B. The TSA may assist the TMDE owner/user in

completing the DA Form 3758-R. The DA Form 3758-R is kept on file at the TSA until

the item is listed in TB 43-180, or until the requirement no longer exists. The TSA

forwards a copy of the DA Form 3758-R to the USATA Engineering, Acquisition, and

Logistics Directorate.

(2) The TSA performs C&RS on the instrument once a DA Form 3758-R is

submitted and procedures identified or developed. If the TSA does not have the C&RS

capability support will be arranged by the TSA from another source.

2-5 Calibration Forms, Labels and Tags . DA Label 80 (U. S. Army Calibration

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

Form 2417 (U. S. Army Calibration System Rejected Instrument) will be used by all

activities providing C&RS. All TMDE and calibration standards will have either a DA

Label 80, DA Label 163, or DA Form 2417 affixed to it. This action provides visual

indication of calibration status. Preparation, use, and overprinting instructions are

contained in appendix C. U. S. Army elements receiving C&RS from another DOD

agency will assure that the appropriate label or tag is affixed to the instrument. Labels

used by the U. S. Air Force, U. S. Marines, and U. S. Navy are recognized by the U. S.

Army. Items that have been supported by DOD or contractor may have DA Labels 80

affixed to them, but the DOD or contractor labels must also remain affixed to the items.

Only DA Label 80, DA Label 163, or DA Form 2417 will be used for those items with

system code H05.

2-6 Instrument Master Record File (IMRF). Each activity providing C&RS shall

establish and maintain an IMRF. The IMRF for DS/GS/AVIM units is maintained by the

supporting TSA if the DS/GS/AVIM unit has no organic management information system

(MIS) capability. The DA Form 7372 (TMDE Calibration and Repair Data) will be used

as the basic source document for establishing and updating records in the IMRF. DA

Form 7372 is available as an electronic form. The IMRF identifies those instruments

that require C&RS, those that are in storage (CBU), and those that are in the category of

"calibration not required" (CNR).
