The METER card is a five-part color-coded form to which the equipment identification and receipt tag is attached. It is filled out by either the customer or the calibrating activity. You will have a METER card for every item for which you are responsible that requires calibration.

This card is used to record a calibration action, to add or delete items from inventory, to reschedule calibration, to transfer custody, or to record manhours for a completed calibration.

The white copy of a completed METER card is sent to the MEASURE Operational Control Center (MOCC), where the information is keypunched into a computer to update the MEASURE data base. The new information is then printed on another METER card and sent back to the customer activity to be used the next time another transaction is to be completed.

Accurate data, completeness, and legibility in filling out the meter card is essential. Remember a computer
