Metal Detection Validation Checklist

This Metal Detection Validation template supports food manufacturers in validating metal detectors to prevent foreign body contamination and meet customer codes and audits. Capture site details, line, product code and description, equipment manufacturer, model, serial, and last calibration. Validate with ferrous, non ferrous, and stainless steel test pieces at leading, middle, and trailing edges, with multiple checks per size. Document worst case product reasoning, rejections, summaries, and any required changes to procedures. Includes sections for multiple lines and offline film and carton checks to ensure consistent, compliant performance.
