Compliance and standards

Compliance evidence is built into every record, signature, and certificate.

CalBrix is structured so the operational workflow and the audit story are the same thing. Teams do not need separate systems for traceability, approval evidence, uncertainty support, and certificate output.

Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement

CalBrix includes a GUM-compliant measurement uncertainty calculator with support for Type A and Type B uncertainty evaluation, combined uncertainty, and expanded uncertainty.

Type A

Statistical Evaluation

Standard deviation of repeated measurements with degrees of freedom tracking.

Type B

Other Means

Uncertainty components from certificates, specifications, and prior knowledge.

Combined

Combined Standard Uncertainty

Root-sum-of-squares combination with sensitivity coefficient weighting.

Expanded

Expanded Uncertainty

Coverage factor-based uncertainty with configurable confidence levels.

Data integrity

A tamper-evident audit trail that holds up under review.

Every action in CalBrix is recorded in a cryptographically linked history. Reviewers can see who changed what, when it happened, and whether the sequence remains intact.

Cryptographic hash chain linking each audit event to the previous record
User identity, timestamp, action, and context stored for each event
Before and after values preserved for record changes and approvals
Exportable evidence set for auditor review and internal investigation
Tamper detection workflows to surface integrity issues quickly

Evidence package

The supporting controls around the standards map.

Beyond individual clauses, CalBrix gives regulated teams the surrounding record controls they need to defend process integrity over time.

Control area

Electronic signatures

Reviewer and approver actions stay attached to the record with signer identity, intent, and timing preserved.

Control area

Traceability records

Certificates, standards, environmental data, and execution evidence stay connected to the same calibration history.

Control area

Validation-ready controls

Role design, audit events, change history, and deployment model support regulated environments that need documented system behavior.
