What is in a Qualification Report?

Here we show a SherpaSystems Qualification Report that has been broken down showing key pages, explanations of information and how it could be useful when moving the SherpaSystem from the laboratory to the real world.

As well as the Qualification Report other supporting elements can be created or initiated to support the implementation of a SherpaSystems solution. Examples of these would be:

  • Step-by-step packaging diagrams
  • Written instructional guides
  • Animations
  • Training days

These documents facilitate the integration of the packaging solution into the necessary aspects of the clients’ business. Furthermore, our team of experts is happy to deliver on-site training, as required.

Technical Documentation

The master front page gives reference to the qualified product, the test range and the date of creation.

The wet signature sign-off section is also featured here.

Executive Summary

Outlines what was tested and the specifications it was tested to according to the protocol criteria.

Results Summary

An outline of the system’s performance during each test. Thumbnail graphs and configuration illustrations are also added to this page, making it a quick single reference point for the key qualification information.

Methodology

The Methodology section gives detailed descriptions of the test procedure. It explains product and component conditioning, preparation and layout.

The entire testing process is detailed here and this walk-through often forms part of the implementation of the system into a real world operational environment.

Ambient Temperature Profiles

This page gives full details of the Ambient Temperature Profiles used to qualify the SherpaSystem. Each SherpaSystem is qualified to a minimum of 2 ambient profiles. It is required to pass all specified profiles to be approved.

System Diagram

This large exploded diagram works as the key reference point for the packing team. Each part is labelled and clear instructions are given regarding part name and location and any specific pre - packaging temperature conditioning requirements.

System Specification

This list is a quick reference for all parts contained within the SherpaSystem, as well as data relating to the final packed solution (external size, total weight and volumetric weight).

Test Result

The Test Result page will show a time/temperature graph of the system’s performance during the test (there will be more than one of these featured within a single report).

Details of where each temperature is taken from are referenced and linked by colour code to the graph.

A short results table is included for quick reference.

A list of the equipment used during each specific test is also included on this page and will link to the calibration certificates at the end of the report.

Appendix A: Test Criteria

This page combines all key testing requirements. These are then broken into three key categories (Product, Shipping and Other) this table is a good point of review when considering the system’s suitability for specific products and environments.

Appendix B: Calibration Documents

For quality and traceability reasons we include calibration certificates for all key equipment used during the testing.

Appendix C: Tables of Reading

To enable a total review of the system’s performance full tables of readings are included within the Qualification Report. The SCA Cool Logistics standard reading intervals are set at 10 minutes.
