2.0 SCOPE
This procedure is applicable for primary standards which are to be used for standardization ofvolumetric solution & calibration of instrument.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITY
3.1 Doing : Technical Assistant/Executive
3.2 Checking : Executive/ Manager
4.0 ACCOUNTABILITY
Head of the Department
5.0 PROCEDURE
5.1 Select A.R. grade of reagent/chemical preferably certified .
5.2 Distribute the sufficient quantity of the material as required for one time use into predefined no. of vials & record it.
5.3 Give the reference number to primary standard as follows.
X/OO/A/BB
Where X corresponds the first alphabet of material.
OO corresponds to Sr. number from 01 onward to have details of total Primary standard in quality control laboratory.
A corresponds the last digit of year in which primary std is prepared
BB corresponds the no. of vial prepared for particular primary standard starting from 01.
5.4 Store the material in light resistant glass vials closed with rubber bungs and sealed withAluminium seal.
5.5 Label the vials with the following details.
1. Name of primary standard
2. Ref. No.
3. Date of preparation
4. Use before
5.6 Store all vials of primary standard in A.C. control area as per Annexure-I.
5.7 For every calibration/standardization take always fresh and sealed vial of primary standard andrecord it in respective bin card as per annexure II.
5.8 Destroy the expired vials of primary standard after completion of shelf life and keep the record asper Annexure-II.
