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.
