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.
