    Monitoring Lab equipment..... timers and thermometers

    I am looking for a published reference anywhere that has recommendations and/or requirements as to the frequency of checking thermometers and timers used in laboratory testing.  We do it annually, but where did that come from??  Does anyone have a specific source to point to that includes such requirements?

    Thanks!

    In our lab, we simply buy certified timers and thermometers and keep  the certification certificates on file.  We don't recheck them anually.  I did see a question regarding this on the general CAP checklist. Hope this helps.
