Metal
Detector and X-Ray Inspection System Test Standards
Metal Detector and X-Ray Inspection System Test Standards Certification and Your
HACCP/GMP Compliance Program
HACCP and GMP compliance may require that metal detectors
and/or x-ray inspection systems be installed at critical control points and are routinely QA
(quality assurance) tested with the results documented. Paramount to this is using independently certified and traceable test samples. Most likely at present you are using
metal detector and x-ray inspection system test pieces supplied by your metal detector
and x-ray inspection system manufacturer, sales,
or repair organization that are non-certified and untraceable.
Metal Detector and X-Ray Inspection System Test Standards
"The Visible Choice"
Why not use the same quality precision metal detector
and x-ray inspection system test standards that are used by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) for
their independent testing of metal detectors and x-ray inspection systems?
Now the same highly visible, tamper-proof, and completely sealed metal detector
and x-ray inspection system testing products used by the USDA are available for sale by Test
Standard Labs. Test Standard Labs is a producer and supplier of independently certified test pieces (including
test cards, test sticks, test rods, test balls, test fobs, test tablets, and
test disks) used in the calibration, testing, and validation of metal
detectors and x-ray inspection systems. Metal detector and x-ray inspection test
samples available from Test Standard Labs are the highest quality for testing and calibration used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Our product pricing is
comparable to what you are paying now for test pieces with probably less quality.
Your quality assurance team can be assured by using Test Standard Labs' metal detector
and x-ray inspection system test pieces, independently certificated, and traceable, that it will be fulfilling
your company's commitment to quality assurance and due diligence.

Inspection System Test Standard Specifications:
-
All materials used in the manufacture of our metal detector
and x-ray inspection system test pieces are FDA compliant. Copies of material data sheets are available here online or by request.
-
All
of the precision miniature balls used in our metal detector
and x-ray inspection system test pieces are
AMBA,
AFBMA,
or ISO 3290 certified. A certification of compliance number is labeled on all of our test samples and certificates of compliance are
available free of charge. You can view
and print the Certificate of Compliance here online at any time.
-
Miniature ball sample is clearly visible and completely
sealed inside of all our tamper-proof
metal detector and x-ray inspection system test samples.
-
You can be assured of independently validated metal
detector and x-ray inspection system test pieces since our company's only mission is manufacturing and supplying metal detection
and x-ray inspection system validation products. Independent validation of your metal detectors
and x-ray inspection systems are required for your QA (quality assurance) program.
-
For ease of identification all of our metal detector
and x-ray inspection system test pieces are color-coded to the type of miniature ball that
is enclosed.
-
Red = Chrome (Ferrous Chrome Metal)
-
Yellow = Brass (Non-Ferrous Brass Metal)
-
Blue = Stainless Steel Metal Grades,
Aluminum, and Glass
-
