Answer:
Yes, in IATF 16494 clause 7.1.5.2.1 Calibration/verification records refer to the subject of the question and you should follow those requirements.
First, the organization must have a documented process for managing calibration records and those records must be retained. So, if there is no documented process first step is to create one.
The calibration activities must include the following additions:
Assessment of the risks of the intended use of the product caused by the out-of-specification condition. Here you can use the FMEA method;
Documented information on the validity of previous measurement results, if there were in place before you take the process.
For all future measurements please have this in mind; If the software is in place for the product or process control (example SCADA) there must be verification and confirmation that the software version specified for the product and process control is being used.
Also, you have to align with Japanese law on the calibration of equipment and please look at instruction on calibration that every equipment have.
Please also take a look at 7.1.5.3 Laboratory requirements, if your company has an internal laboratory.
