  • First, wash with Raw Water, and then Sample from first rinse (sample-I).
  • For second sample, wash with 0.1% liquid soap solution and raw water, then sample from second rinse (sample-II).
  • Sample from final rinse of purified water after completion of the cleaning procedure (sample-III).
  • Swab (in 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm area) for chemical analysis (sample-IV).
  • Swab (in 10 cm x 10 cm area) for bio-burden (sample-V).

6.0 SAMPLING POINTS

  • Powder Feed Hopper
  • Blades
  • Screen
  • Powder discharge Hopper.

Please refer ANNEXURE – B
