Detailed Test Cases
Test Case OQ-001: Pressure Test
Objective: To verify that the pressure applied by the Laminator/Backing Attachment Unit is within the specified range.
Procedure: Set the unit to the specified pressure settings and record the pressure readings.
Acceptance Criteria: Pressure readings must fall within the range specified in URS Annex 11.
Evidence: Document pressure log records for review.
Test Case OQ-002: Speed Calibration Check
Objective: To ensure the speed of the Laminator/Backing Attachment Unit is calibrated correctly.
Procedure: Run the unit at specified speed settings and verify against calibration standards.
Acceptance Criteria: Speed must match the settings outlined in URS Annex 11.
Evidence: Calibration certificates to be attached.
Test Case OQ-003: Alignment Verification
Objective: To confirm that the alignment of the backing/liner is accurate during the lamination process.
Procedure: Execute a test run and measure the alignment of the laminated product.
Acceptance Criteria: Alignment must be within acceptable tolerances as specified in URS Annex 11.
Evidence: Document alignment records for approval.
Deviations
Any deviations from the acceptance criteria must be documented and assessed for impact on product quality. A root cause analysis should be performed, and corrective actions must be implemented as necessary.
