5.2 Quality Management Principles

￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

Herisau, 6 January, 2009

D. Strohm

Vice President, Head of R&D

5.2 Quality Management Principles

Metrohm Ltd. holds the ISO 9001:2000 Certificate, registration number
10872-02, issued by SQS (Swiss Association for Quality and Management
Systems). Internal and external audits are carried out periodically to assure
that the standards defined by Metrohm’s QM Manual are maintained.

The steps involved in the design, manufacture and servicing of instruments
are fully documented and the resulting reports are archived for ten years.
The development of software for PCs and instruments is also duly docu­mented and the documents and source codes are archived. Both remain
the possession of Metrohm. A non-disclosure agreement may be asked to
be provided by those requiring access to them.

The implementation of the ISO 9001:2000 quality management system is
described in Metrohm’s QM Manual, which comprises detailed instruc­tions on the following fields of activity:

Instrument development

The organization of the instrument design, its planning and the intermedi­ate controls are fully documented and traceable. Laboratory testing
accompanies all phases of instrument development.

A. Dellenbach

Head of Quality Management

￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

14

Software development

Software development occurs in terms of the software life cycle. Tests are
performed to detect programming errors and to assess the program’s
functionality in a laboratory environment.

Components

All components used in the Metrohm instruments have to satisfy the qual­ity standards that are defined and implemented for our products. Suppli­ers of components are audited by Metrohm as the need arises.

Manufacture

The measures put into practice in the production of our instruments guar­antee a constant quality standard. Production planning and manufacturing
procedures, maintenance of production means and testing of compo­nents, intermediate and finished products are prescribed.

801 Stirrer

￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭￭

Customer support and service

Customer support involves all phases of instrument acquisition and use by
the customer, i.e. consulting to define the adequate equipment for the
analytical problem at hand, delivery of the equipment, user manuals, train­ing, after-sales service and processing of customer complaints. The
Metrohm service organization is equipped to support customers in imple­menting standards such as GLP, GMP, ISO 900X, in performing Opera­tional Qualification and Performance Verification of the system compo­nents or in carrying out the System Validation for the quantitative determi­nation of a substance in a given matrix.

5.3 Warranty (guarantee)

Metrohm guarantees that the deliveries and services it provides are free
from material, design or manufacturing errors. The warranty period is 36
months from the day of delivery; for day and night operation it is 18
months. The warranty remains valid on condition that the service is provi­ded by an authorized Metrohm service organization.

5 Conformity and warranty

Glass breakage is excluded from the warranty for electrodes and other
glassware. The warranty for the accuracy corresponds to the technical
specifications given in this manual. For components from third parties that
make up a considerable part of our instrument, the manufacturer's war­ranty provisions apply. Warranty claims cannot be pursued if the Customer
has not complied with the obligations to make payment on time.

During the warranty period Metrohm undertakes, at its own choice, to
either repair at its own premises, free of charge, any instruments that can
be shown to be faulty or to replace them. Transport costs are to the Cus­tomer's account.

Faults arising from circumstances that are not the responsibility of
Metrohm, such as improper storage or improper use, etc. are expressly
excluded from the warranty.
