14 Validation of the sealing
process
14.1 Validation steps
The validation of the sealing process consists of
the following steps:
– Installation qualification; this must be per-
formed during commissioning of the device,
see 8.2 Handover of the device.
– Operational qualification; to be performed
daily.
– Performance testing; to be performed annu-
ally.
14.2 Daily function assessment
If the menu item
Operational qualification
(OQ) is
activated in the menu of the unit, then a request
to perform an operational qualification of the
sealing process will appear every day after the
unit is switched on for the first time.
This is only a reminder function and does
not remove the responsibility for carrying
out the operational qualification for the
validation.
❯
Switch on the unit with button
.
The display window shows the setpoint tem-
perature and the actual temperature.
The blue LED flashes during the heat-up
phase.
As soon as the target temperature has been
reached, the unit is ready for operation.
The blue LED goes out.
❯
Insert a seam sealing test, e.g. Hygopac
Sealcheck, as directed in the instructions into
the transport until the unit starts up and the
seam sealing test is drawn in.
The batch number is briefly displayed in the
display window.

After the sealing process, check the quality of
the sealing seam:
❯
Uniform and fully executed
❯
Free of folds and flaws
❯
Free of delamination
❯
Colour corresponds to the industrial seam
