7.4 Equipment Required for Validation
The equipment and samples listed below are required for hardware validation. Prepare
necessary equipment and samples depending on the system configuration of the instrument.
Testing Equipment
A list of testing equipment required for hardware validation is shown below. A certificate
ensuring traceability or inspection results should accompany each item of testing equipment
that is used.
Equipment Description
Thermo recorder
For inspection of the temperature setting accuracy for the column oven
and the autosampler's sample cooler.
The thermo recorder must be certified as having an accuracy rating of
±1.0 °C for the required temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C) at the time of
inspection.
Resistance thermometer
For inspection of the temperature accuracy for the column oven.
The resistance thermometer must have a testing accuracy of ±0.5 °C for
the required temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C) at the time of inspection.
Thermocouple
For inspection of the temperature accuracy for the column oven and
autosampler's sample cooler.
The thermocouple must have a testing accuracy of ±0.6 °C for the
required temperature range (0 °C to 50 °C) at the time of inspection.
DC voltage/current
generator
For the hardware validation of the chromatopac.
The DC voltage/current generator must be certified as having an
accuracy rating of ±0.15 % at the time of testing.
Stopwatch
For inspection of the flow rate accuracy for the solvent delivery module.
The stopwatch must be certified at 5'30" ± 0.3 sec at the time of
inspection.
Measuring flask
For inspection of the flow rate accuracy for the solvent delivery module.
Obtain a 5 mL-measuring flask.
Electronic balance
For inspection of the injection volume accuracy for the autosampler.
The balance must be calibrated and able to perform measurement with a
0.001g precision at the time of inspection.
