Improve Control Of Your Measuring Process And Save Costs

Greifensee, Switzerland – Driven by scientific principles, METTLER TOLEDO has developed a risk-based management program, Good Weighing Practice™ (GWP®), which takes care of the entire life cycle of a balance in order to provide sound answers to the user's concerns for establishing and maintaining sustainable quality of their weighing processes. Additional information on GWP® can be found online at www.good-weighing-practice.com.

Throughout the industry, there are common misconceptions regarding balance selection and use as well as incorrect testing programs for periodic verification of the balance's performance. Therefore, METTLER TOLEDO is announcing two educational webinars in regards to measurement uncertainty and minimum weight, as well as routine testing of weighing systems.

Webinar 1: Measurement Uncertainty and Minimum Weight

This webinar deals with the cornerstones for evaluating and selecting an appropriate weighing system, namely measurement uncertainty and minimum weight. It will be shown how a weighing system is selected which reliably fulfills the respective weighing accuracy requirements set by the user. In the framework of the calibration, it is finally proven and documented that the selected weighing system fulfills the user's requirements by determining measurement uncertainty and minimum weight at the balance's installation location. Reference is made to applicable GxP, ISO and other rules, examples of FDA warning letters are shown and management considerations are provided which help bridging the gap between sustainable quality of weighing data, risk reduction and efficiency enhancement.

Webinar 2: Routine Testing of Weighing Systems

This webinar is dedicated to the testing methods that establish a systematic, thorough and useful verification of the balance's performance throughout its life. The webinar will answer questions in regards to technique, frequency, type of test weights and appropriate tolerances. Furthermore, it will be demonstrated that testing depends on two important parameters, namely the weighing accuracy and the risk associated with incorrect weighings. The different roles and responsibilities of calibration provided by the service technician, routine testing with test weights performed by the user, and built-in safety features such as automatic adjustment are detailed, and the methodology of customized recommendations based on an integral test strategy is explained.
