Specifications and Regulatory Information

Specifications and Characteristics

Specifications apply to instruments in the following situation:

• temperature is in the range of +20°C to +30°C

• analyzer has had a warm-up time of two hours in a stable ambient temperature

• measurement calibration has been performed

Performance Definitions

Specifications: Warranted performance. Specifications include guardbands to account for the expected

statistical performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to

environmental conditions.

Characteristics: Useful, non warranted, information about the functions and performance of the system.

Calibration Cycle

Agilent Technologies warrants instrument specifications over the recommended calibration interval. To

maintain specifications, periodic recalibrations are necessary. We recommend that the analyzer be cali-

brated at an Agilent Technologies service facility every 12 months.

User Calibration Cycle

A user calibration, also known as a measurement calibration, should be performed at least once every 8

hours. If the ambient temperature drifts, then you should perform a calibration more frequently.
