This is applicable for both laboratory and GMP inspections and can be directly used for product inspection.<br \/>\n1. Core material standards for partitions<br \/>\n1.1 Operating countertop (most critical, directly in contact with acids, alkalis, alcohol, and 84 disinfectant)<br \/>\nAcceptable mainstream: SUS304 stainless steel; for strong corrosive environments (acid washing, organic reagents, pharmaceutical factories), upgrade to SUS316 stainless steel<br \/>\nProhibited: Painted iron sheet, 201 stainless iron, thin iron sheet with stainless steel skin<br \/>\nQuick judgment method<br \/>\nThickness check<br \/>\nStandard for regular single-person workbench countertop \u2265 0.8mm, GMP for pharmaceutical factories recommends \u2265 1.0mm;<br \/>\nPressing the corners with a coin, obvious softness and depression indicates a thin plate of inferior quality;<br \/>\nPoorly bonded surface of the laminate will peel and delaminate at the bending point.<br \/>\nMagnetic test (distinguishing 304\/201\/iron sheet)<br \/>\nPure 304 stainless steel shows a normal weak magnetic attraction (due to processing and bending, martensite is produced), but it will not firmly hold the magnet and not fall off;<br \/>\n201 stainless iron, iron sheet: The magnet strongly attracts and cannot be removed;<br \/>\nNote: Do not rely solely on the magnet test; combined with corrosion test for accuracy.<br \/>\nAppearance weld process<br \/>\nAcceptable: Full welding, smooth polishing without burrs, flat seams, no weld holes (holes can harbor bacteria, not allowed in GMP);<br \/>\nPoor: Spot welding, large gaps, sharp burrs, dirt can be wiped off.<br \/>\nIdentification of labels<br \/>\nThe back of the regular sheet will have laser-engraved: SUS304 \/ SUS316; without engraving, it is likely to be a low-quality thin sheet.<br \/>\nCorrosion identification test on site (5-minute simple test)<br \/>\nReagents: Diluted 84 disinfectant (effective chlorine 5%), 75% ethanol, dilute hydrochloric acid;<br \/>\nOperation: Wipe the countertop and let it stand for 30 minutes, then wipe clean with water;<br \/>\n304 is acceptable: No rust spots, no whitening corrosion, no color fading;<br \/>\n201 \/ iron sheet: Yellow spots, rust spots, blackening; Painted countertop will directly peel and flake off.<br \/>\n2. Cabinet shell (frame)<br \/>\nTwo compliant solutions:<br \/>\nRegular laboratory: Cold-rolled steel plate + epoxy electrostatic spraying<br \/>\nAcceptance points: Uniform paint surface, no run-off, few scratches on\u78d5\u78b0\u9732\u51fa\u94c1\u76ae\uff1b Hard objects can be lightly scraped without revealing iron sheet\uff1b Seams sealed adhesive is flat and prevents mold.<br \/>\nHigh humidity \/ corrosive laboratory (microbiology\uff0c chemistry\uff0c fumigation disinfection)\uff1a Whole machine 304 stainless steel shell<br \/>\nProhibited\uff1a Ordinary paint thin iron sheet\uff0c prone to rust and flake off under long-term ultraviolet and alcohol fumigation.<br \/>\nPoor cabinet characteristics<br \/>\nThin iron sheet\uff0c pressing both sides of the cabinet body shows obvious deformation\uff1b<br \/>\nRough paint\uff0c edge corners with iron leakage\uff0c rusting within 1-2 months.<br \/>\n3. Observation window glass<br \/>\nStrict standard\uff1a 5mm tempered float glass<br \/>\nJudgment method\uff1a<br \/>\nThe corners of the glass must have 3C tempered marking\uff1b without 3C is ordinary glass\uff0c prone to cracking upon impact\uff1b<br \/>\nKnocking sound is clear\uff1b ordinary thin glass sounds dull\uff1b<br \/>\nSmooth up and down and push-pull\uff0c edges polished into rounded corners\uff0c no sharp edges to cut.<br \/>\n4. Internal return air duct\uff0c guide plate\uff0c support<br \/>\nUniform requirement\uff1a 304 stainless steel integrated bending parts<br \/>\nSafety\uff1a Plastic guide plate\uff0c long-term ultraviolet exposure aging and cracking\uff0c releasing volatile substances to contaminate samples.<br \/>\n5. Sealant strips\uff0c disinfection accessories<br \/>\nSealant\uff1a Food-grade anti-mold silicone rubber\uff0c white \/ semi-transparent\uff0c resistant to alcohol\uff0c ultraviolet without hardening\uff1b<br \/>\nPoor\uff1a Ordinary black rubber\uff0c 1-3 months harden and crack\uff0c damaging laminar flow\uff1b<br \/>\nUltraviolet lamp bracket\uff0c water tray\uff1a 304 stainless steel\uff0c plastic water tray prone to aging and leakage.<br \/>\n2. Professional tools for precise differentiation between 304 and 316 stainless steel (high-precision acceptance)<br \/>\n1. Stainless steel detection liquid (commonly available on the market\uff0c low cost)<br \/>\nDrop the detection liquid on the countertop and let it stand for 10 seconds\uff1a<br \/>\n304\uff1a Light gray \/ pale brown\uff1b<br \/>\n316\uff1a Basically unchanged color\uff1b 201 Stainless Steel: Turns Red Instantly;<br \/>\nAfter the test, wipe it clean with water immediately to avoid corrosion of the countertop.<br \/>\n2. Portable Metal Spectrometer (Third-party acceptance standard for pharmaceutical factories)<br \/>\nDirectly read the content of metal elements:<br \/>\nSUS304: Cr \u2265 18%, Ni \u2265 8%;<br \/>\nSUS316: Cr \u2265 16%, Ni \u2265 10%, Mo \u2265 2%;<br \/>\nWithout molybdenum element, it is directly determined that it is not 316.<br \/>\nIII. Data File Verification (Essential for bidding and GMP audits)<br \/>\nJust looking at the physical object is not enough; material certificates must be requested for archiving:<br \/>\nOriginal factory warranty certificate for stainless steel plates: indicates the grade 304\/316, plate thickness, furnace number;<br \/>\nSpray coating test report: adhesion, alcohol resistance, disinfection corrosion resistance test;<br \/>\n3C certification certificate for tempered glass;<br \/>\nMaterial list of the entire machine, distinguishes the materials of the countertop, shell, and diversion plate, and refuses the oral promises of the merchants.<br \/>\nIV.
