Widmer Report Approved by: F. Lopes ETNA Organisation - A proceeding for the quality control on a routine basis was established (Ref. 1). It is dealing with the following main points: - Sampling locations - Normal and reenforced sampling plan for the process control. For each blend three limits (A,B and C) of filling power will be defined. If a filling power is found within the limits A: No action. Within limits B: Immediate information to the production people. Within limits C: The laboratory applies automatically the reenforced control. The results found are immediately transmitted to the production people. The reenforced control is maintained until two consecutive values are within limit B. - Each daily production of expanded tobacco is liberated on the basis of the results of process control and the control on the final, "equilibrated" product. The analyses of final product ares available between 10 and 15 days after production. - Organisation of chemical analyses - Calibration and control of the moisture meters. QC Analytical Services A.
