Eriez announces the publication of a new white paper, “Metal Detection Verification and Validation,” written by Metal Detection Product Manager Ray Spurgeon. This informative piece explores the importance of metal detection verification and validation as a means to ensure equipment is operating within food safety program requirements and includes a step-by-step guide to performing a verification process correctly.
The white paper begins by explaining that verification is the act or process of proving that the metal detector meets its sensitivity requirements. This is accomplished by challenging the detector in a repeatable manner with a certified metal sphere at a pre-determined time. Validation is the process of authenticating the metal detector, ensuring the equipment is meeting the verification requirements. The author outlines correct procedures for each process.
