"Property 2 involves validation. Is there actual metal in the product that has passed through the machine ? If the machine is assumed to be working properly, you won't know. There are a couple of ways to know - customer complaints and product testing. If product testing is done, one can take X amount of samples based on a company's sampling policy if they have one and have the product x-rayed or tested for metal contaminants on a periodic or routine basis such as quarterly semiannual or annual. These documented results would validate the effectiveness of the metal detector."

Marvis,

Another simple way to validate your metal detector is to engage in an outside contractor to confirm that your equipment is within spec/ critical limits-  Certificates of analysis..

Hope that helps!
