3.0 SAMPLING & TESTING
In order to check the composition and required parameters during manufacture, it shall
be required that the random sampling shall be collected at least 1 sample containing
adequate number/quantity of resin capsules for every 10,000 pieces of resin capsule in
a batch and shall be subjected to the required set of tests as prescribed at para-2.0
above and the data shall be kept recorded in a bound paged book kept for the purpose
which shall be signed by the persons out the test and shall be countersigned by the
quality control officer posted at the manufacturing unit (s).
3.1 The user shall carry out Physical examination tests as far as possible but shall
conduct Short Encapsulation Pull Test (SEPT) for every batch of Resin capsules and
keep the records in a bound paged book kept for the purpose.
In case the resin capsules fail to pass the required tests at the user end, that lot of the
manufacture shall not be used and intimation thereof shall be sent to this Directorate
and also to the manufacture.
Manufactures and the Users including the Test Houses, who are engaged for testing
such material, are therefore requested to ensure the above mentioned Standard and
