Quality Management at Your Fingertips

In the event of an audit, you need confidence that your weighing processes are fully compliant with your quality management specifications.

First of all, you will be asked to produce traceable calibration records for your balances. Keeping such records is important not only because of regulations, but also because they help to take risk out of the equation. METTLER TOLEDO service professionals have years of experience and the latest certified tools to check all essential weighing parameters. The key is that test results are documented on traceable calibration certificates. This ensures ongoing weighing accuracy and gives you peace of mind during an audit. Thus, routine testing and calibration using certified weights, as well as professional documentation of results are crucial steps within any quality management system.

Secondly, inspectors will be looking for evidence that your weighing processes meet specified tolerances. With GWP^®, you can achieve continuous assurance of reliable weighing results. A critical step in avoiding troubles with the auditor is determining the minimum weight of a weighing system. The minimum weight is the threshold above which your measurements will always meet the required tolerances of the weighing process.

GWP^® is a globally recognized, risk-based guideline to maximize cost-savings by reducing measurement deviations and by avoiding inefficient testing procedures. METTLER TOLEDO is the only provider to offer this innovative quality management solution, tailored to your specific risks.

Operating under the GWP^® umbrella provides you with peace of mind that your weighing processes meet all regulations. According to the risk of your specific process and the weighing environment, GWP^® offers practical guidance for testing. Traceability of results is guaranteed because all testing and calibration records are integral to your quality management system. These benefits translate to tangible cost-savings as downtime due to failed inspections can be avoided and the frequency of testing fine-tuned.
