7.4 Equipment Required for Validation
The equipment and reagents listed below are required for hardware validation. Prepare necessary equipment
and reagents 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
of validation results and a validation report 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 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 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 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 pump.
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 pump.
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 precision of 0.001 g
at the time of inspection.
