How to do a quality test on 200g container compared with testing on a 1kg container?

Hello, 

To start off, I work as quality control manager at exporting dates factory. 

I used to do quality control test on  1 kg, yet when it comes to 200 g dates I can't of course do the same test since it's not the same quality. 

please what do you suggest.

thank you in adavce

Hi amina,

Welcome to the Forum ! :Welcome:

Can you clarify what the QC test was for and, perhaps, why you needed 1kg ?

Thank you for your answer 

well ! the kind of test is : 

1- Controle caliber 

2- controle physico-chimique 

3-  controle organoleptique.

I am not sure how to adopt these test on 200 g dates. 

in the following paper is a sample of a test sheet I use for the control which I tried to edit to fit for 200 g 

Thank you for your answer

Hi amina,

Sorry but there is no attachment.

You need to click the "more reply options" box on lower right hand side then use the browse/upload boxes which appear at lower left hand side of new page.

Some tests can be scaled down.

If the unit weight is 200g, is it not possible to combine 5 units of, hopefully, the same batch ?

Hi Charles, 

I uploaded the templete. 

Hi amina,

Thks for excel in French.

It's really a question of Procedures and Arithmetic.

Question (1) - I assume you have textbook/reference Standard Procedures (SOPs) for the 18 tests listed in yr excel  which include the required sample weight for the tests?

Qu.(2)  Assuming answer to Qu. 1 is Yes, how many separate samples (and their respective weights) are required for the 18 tests shown in yr excel ?. I expect that many of the tests are done on the same sample.
