System Verification and Performance Tests
Introduction
How to Test the Performance of Your Analyzer
To obtain the same quality of performance testing that
Agilent Technologies has administered at the factory, you must perform
one of the following:
• the system verification procedure
OR
• all of the performance test procedures.
This quality of performance testing guarantees that the analyzer is
performing within all of the published specifications. A Certificate of
Calibration will be issued for your analyzer if all of the following
conditions are met:
1. The performance verification tests are performed by personnel
qualified by Agilent.
2. Your analyzer passes all the performed tests.
3. The equipment and standards that you used to perform the tests are
traceable to a national standards institute.
NOTE If you have a particular type of measurement application that does not
use all of the analyzer’s measurement capabilities, you may ask your
local Agilent service center for a subset of specifications that you want
verified. However, this does create a potential for making incorrect
measurements if you use a different application than what was specified.
Performance Test Record Forms
The appropriate performance test record forms are found in Chapter 2,
