With calibrated sensors and a robust calibration system, you can be confident that production conditions are correct—and that your products can be manufactured, stored, and delivered without errors.
Calibration has become an indispensable part of our society—from the flowmeter at the gas pump, to the temperature sensor in the refrigerated truck used to transport medication, to the scale at the supermarket. Measurements are taken everywhere. And wherever measurements are taken, calibration is required.
What does it take to ensure a well-organized, reliable calibration process? What do you need to know to have a productive conversation with an internal or external calibration expert?
With this e-book, we aim to familiarize everyone working in highly regulated industries—such as the life sciences sector—with the world of calibration. Our goal is to provide a clear answer to the question of what is needed for a robust and reliable measurement loop.
Would you like to get in touch with one of our experts right away, or do you have additional questions after reading the e-book?

Proper calibration isn’t always a given:
-
1.
Does your organization calibrate the entire loop, or just the sensor?
-
2.
If your organization only calibrates the barrel, is your calibration complete—or is it simply a waste of money?
-
3.
In your organization, is the next calibration setup—for safety reasons—always chosen to be just a little more precise than the previous one (and do you also see that this is a path to problems)?
-
4.
Are all calibrations traceable to an international standard?
-
5.
Do you need RvA-accredited calibrations, or not?
-
6.
How do you determine the specifications for a calibration within your organization?
-
7.
Why can’t a supplier determine this for you?
-
8.
And… do you have complete control over the production process?

What is risk assessment?
Risk management—that is, risk analysis and risk control—is important for every company. By conducting a risk analysis, you determine what the risks are, particularly those that threaten your business objectives. These include risks related to product quality and safety (such as (cross)contamination and mix-ups) and employee health and safety, as well as regulatory compliance. Corrective and/or preventive actions can then help reduce these risks and make them manageable. Discover the basic principles of risk management and learn how to identify, analyze, and mitigate potential risks.

Gap Assessment Analysis
A gap analysis allows an organization to evaluate its current state of affairs in comparison to the desired situation or objectives. This method provides valuable insights for effectively achieving projects and business goals. During a gap analysis, for example, the maintenance process is critically examined. Essential questions are answered, such as: What are possible improvements to the process? How can we take asset maintenance to the next level? And how do we ensure safety in the maintenance process?

What if you took a completely different approach to Gowning?
When you think of gowning, you probably think of putting on protective clothing. The way employees dress in cleanrooms is key to preventing product contamination and ensures compliance with even the strictest standards related to Annex 1. A single small particle in the wrong place can make the difference between a perfect product and a lost batch.
