5 Steps to Manage Qualityin a Regulated Environment
METTLER TOLEDO’s GWP® stands for Good Weighing Practice. It offers a framework to establish a weighing practice that works.
Here are the five basic tenets of GWP®:
Each step involves assessment of process parameters to ensure equipmentcan meet tolerances and quality requirements.
STEP 1: Good Evaluation
STEP 3: Good Installation
STEP 5: Good Operation
STEP 2: Good Selection
STEP 4: Good Calibration
Evaluating the process from a metrological perspective to establishparameters, such as smallest net weight and required processaccuracy. The parameters set expectations for a given instrument.
Documenting that appropriate installation – unpacking, set-up,configuration, calibration, adjustment and operator training – hastaken place and that the equipment still fulfills selection requirements.
Establishing SOPs and test schedules to guarantee weighing –process criteria are fulfilled between service visits.
Selecting a scale fulfilling the preceding requirements or matching accuracy to process needs. The minimum weight concept is used as a basis for selection.
Calibrating a scale in its operating environment. Documenting scaleperformance and issuing applicable certificates at regular intervals isthe qualified technician’s task.
