5. SISCAL INTRODUCTION Mar 09 REV2
WHAT IS SISCAL?
For Installed Instrumentation, a means to determine:
who should calibrate (maintenance level),
what should be used to calibrate (Cal Standards/equipment),
how often calibration should be accomplished (interval),
where it should be calibrated (on site),
why it should be calibrated (criticality analysis)
how it should be calibrated (procedure)
Issue Calibration Requirements Lists (CRLs) for Every Hull
Documents Technical Requirements for all installed NAVSEA COG instruments. Excluded are those instruments covered by Reactor plant Manual or SSP instructions.

SISCAL PROCESS
SISCAL INTRODUCTION Mar 09 REV2

7. SISCAL INTRODUCTION Mar 09 REV2
WHY IS IT CALIBRATED?
Decision Logic Module (DLM) Process
Safety/Regulatory/Operational Factors
Criticality and RCM Analysis
Calibrate only those instruments that require calibration
Documents for this analysis are limited to NSTMs, safety bulletins, NAVOSH manual, regulatory requirements
Maintenance, assessment, testing and/or troubleshooting documents are not to be included

PMS vs. MIQ
PMS VERSUS MIQ:
PMS for Engineering, Weapons, Operations, etc..
System MRC Contains Test Points/ Tolerances Or Set/Reset Point/Tolerances For Instrument
CRL Fields: System MIP And System MRC (MRCs To Be Changed To R Periodicity From A-16r)
Not All Instruments Have System MIPs/MRCs. Still In Process Of Development.
May use TFBR Process for changes. CRL will change at the same time.
Uses SKED To ‘Take Credit’
MIQ For AIMD Cal Lab
Uses 9802 MIP Series Per COMNAVAIRSYSCOM Msg z Jun 05
