Reasons to Sample

Reasons for and benefits in establishing and managing a Good Manufacturing Process sampling system.

Sampling equipment and programmed sampling procedures are probably the least understood aids that are available today for manufacturing processes.

If the quality control laboratory analysis reveals unwanted contamination in the sample, how do you determine its origin?

Was the contamination caused in the process, or by the sampling method, or by the sample transfer method to the laboratory.

Having to discard, rework or release a product that does not comply with the required quality standard, will eventuate in serious financial loss.

Is it worth the risk continuing to use inadequately designed sampling equipment and undisciplined sampling procedures?

Sampling equipment designed for the application, operated by trained personnel in accordance with a defined and validated sampling procedure, are the essential requirements for the successful management of a quality control program in every plant.
