Acceptance Criteria Database

3,610 active material grades pre-loaded on day one — mechanical properties, chemical composition, Charpy impact data, and fastener acceptance criteria — linked directly to test records for automatic pass/fail determination.

No manual entry. No spec lookup. No risk of applying the wrong revision. The Acceptance Criteria Database is built into OMS, maintained by our team, and covers AS, ASTM, API, ISO, EN, and BS standards.

The Problem It Solves

Most labs build their Acceptance Criteria Database from scratch

Setting up acceptance criteria is one of the most time-consuming parts of any LIMS or inspection software implementation. OMS eliminates it entirely.

Days of manual entry

Every grade, every property, every element limit entered by hand — then reviewed and updated every time a standard is revised.

Wrong revision risk

A technician applies AS 3678 Grade 350 limits from an old version of the standard. The current version has tighter requirements. The error isn't caught until assessment.

Inconsistent criteria

Different technicians look up the same grade from different sources. Different acceptance criteria. Different pass/fail calls. An audit trail that doesn't hold up.

OMS ships with the Acceptance Criteria Database already built and maintained. Select the grade — the criteria come with it.

What's Included

Four acceptance criteria tables, one grade selection

Selecting a grade links it to all applicable sub-databases simultaneously — mechanical limits, composition, and impact criteria in a single lookup.

Standards Coverage

Predominantly Australian — globally comprehensive

65% of grades are Australian Standards — covering the full range of AS structural, pressure equipment, fastener, casting, and pipe specifications that NATA-accredited labs test against daily.

AS 2,361 grades

Australian Standards — structural steel, pressure vessels, fasteners, castings, pipe and tube

ASTM 481 grades

A-series plate, pipe, fasteners, fittings — A36, A106, A193, A307, A537, and more

AS/NZS 147 grades

Joint Australian/New Zealand — structural, electrical, pressure equipment

ISO 56 grades

ISO 3506 fasteners, ISO 4957 tool steel, ISO 9328 pressure vessel plate

EN / BS EN 96 grades

EN 10025 structural, EN 10216/10217 pressure tube and pipe, BS PD 970

API 27 grades

API 5L line pipe grades (X42–X80), API 5CT casing and tubing

Others ~40 grades

AWS, SAE, DIN, GB/T, AMS, Lloyd's, Inconel, Bisalloy, and proprietary grades

How It Works

From grade selection to automatic pass/fail

1

Select the grade

The technician types the grade into the test record — a type-to-search field queries the Acceptance Criteria Database instantly.

2

Criteria auto-populate

OMS pulls mechanical limits, chemical composition, and Charpy requirements and embeds them directly into the test record.

3

Pass/fail is automatic

Test results entered are compared against the grade's acceptance criteria in real time. Out-of-spec values are flagged before the report is generated.

4

Full traceability

The grade, criteria, and source standard document are recorded against the result — a complete traceability chain from result back to standard.

ISO/IEC 17025 Clause 7.2 — Acceptance criteria must be defined and traceable

ISO/IEC 17025 requires acceptance criteria to be defined before testing begins and traceable to the applicable standard or specification. The OMS Acceptance Criteria Database provides source-documented, standard-linked criteria for every pre-loaded grade — automatically embedded in the test record and preserved in the audit trail. No manual lookup, no citation gaps.
