Perform calibration and test of R  products and laboratory equipment, to issue calibration certificates
Operate, monitor and maintain test and calibration equipment and systems
Read and interpret operating instructions and test procedures accurately and efficiently
Follow prescribed test and calibration procedures or instructions, collect, document and report findings
Document test or calibration failures through quality reporting system
