If the Rater/RFI is on-site, QAD shall visually check the diagnostic equipment condition and verify last calibration date. * If the diagnostic equipment is out of compliance, QAD shall either perform a field check of the equipment's calibration on Rater/RFI's diagnostic equipment with a calibrated bench manometer/gauge or require Rater/RFI to send in the diagnostic equipment for calibration per the manufacturer's established process. * Any Test Result Values from a manometer/gauge with a score of "Unsatisfactory" on this line item cannot be used as the completed Rating File. The Rater/RFI must calibrate their equipment and then retest the Rated Home with calibrated equipment or if present, use a QAD's calibrated non-bench manometer/gauge to complete the Rating on the day of the Field QA. A score of Unsatisfactory should not stop the Field QA from completing, but if the Rated Home is not able to be tested the day of the Field QA with a calibrated manometer/gauge, the Rated Home must be retested at a later date and a calibration certificate with a date before the restest collected by the QAD.
SCORING: "Satisfactory": When Rater/RFI's the diagnostic equipment is in compliance "Unsatisfactory": When Rater/RFI's the diagnostic equipment is out of compliance "N/A": When Rater/RFI is not on-site.
