Description
The purpose of this procedure is to serve as a guide fo r the proper use of the volumetric equipment within the food area of today. However, the appendices enclosed w ith this procedure describe so much equipment in such general terms, that the procedure may also be u sed by other laboratories than those dealing with food analysis. Examples of volumetric equipment are different types of pipettes, volumetric flasks, dispensers, etc., as evident from the procedure appendices. The procedure contains a general description of the control of volumetric equipment, and of equipment, etc. applied for the calibration or control of volumetric equi pment. Furthermore, the procedure deals with topics like cleaning of volumetric equipment, logs, calculati ons for the estimation of volumes, control cards and acceptance criteria for the evaluation of the performance of the volumetric equipment. The appendices contain a description of the different types of volumetric equipment. The information in the appendices is mainly obtained from ISO Standa rds, where these have been available.
