Zero tolerance

Current policy in API is to avoid commercial language in the API standard. API standards do not include a guarantee and warranty section. In the revisions, as they occur, other paragraphs deemed commercial are disallowed. This puts the burden of guarantee and warranty verbage on the user. A practical solution, if the user is not familiar with industry practices, is to solicit from the vendor a proposed guarantee that should be a zero tolerance on head and capacity. This would only be good prac-...

Some plastics, such as the TSs and in particular the TS-RPs (RTSs), can produce products with exceptionally tight tolerances that practically meet zero tolerances. In injection or compression molding of relatively thin to thick and complex shapes, tolerances can be held to less than 0.001 in. or to even zero, as can also be done using hand layup RP fabricating techniques. 

Inform everyone involved with the program about the company s position with regard to discrimination. Explain that a zero-tolerance policy is in operation, and that any such incidents will be taken very seriously, potentially leading to dismissal from the organization. 

As shown in Figure 2.12, the specification/conlidence interval ratio SI/CI is crucial to interpretation While SI/CI > 4 allows for distinctions, with Sl/Cl = 1 doubts will always remain. SI/CI = 4 is the minimum one should strive for when setting up specifications (provided one is free to choose) or when selecting the analytical method, because otherwise the production department will have to work under close to zero tolerance conditions as... 

Chloramphenicol (CAP) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that was widely used in veterinary medicine. Since 1994 the use of CAP is banned in the EU because of certain toxicological problems (i.e., aplastic anemia and the grey baby syndrome ) observed in its administration to humans [ 107] that have prompted the establishment of a zero tolerance for the presence of these residues in meat and animal products. As a consequence, many efforts have been made to develop sensitive methodologies capable of detecting CAP residues or its metabolites. 

The panda joke (table 1.3), adapted from a bestselling book entitled Eats, Shoots Leaves The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation (Truss, 2003), illustrates the importance of correct punctuation (specifically, the troublesome comma). How should the punch line be punctuated in the panda joke to provide a proper dehnition of a panda Here is what we recommend ...

Pharmaceutical manufacturing operations are inefficient and costly. The cost of low efficiency is generally not understood or appreciated (e.g., manufacturing costs far exceed those for research and development operations). Low efficiency is predominantly due to self-imposed constraints in the system (e.g., static manufacturing processes, focus on testing as opposed to quality by design, approach to specifications based on discrete or the so called zero tolerance criteria, a less than optimal understanding of variability, etc.). These constraints keep the system in a corrective action mode.

Organic bromine has a zero tolerance because of the reported toxicity of monobromacetic acid. It can be extracted quantitatively with ether at pH 1. The determination is then the same as with total bromide (4). 

In the future new constituents may be analyzed for in an ecologically oriented society. Only a single paper on the presence of traces of urethane in diethylpyrocarbamate-treated wine was sufficient to ban its use. Under the Delaney amendment the zero-tolerance rule may require many new analytical procedures of very small amounts of certain components of wines derived directly or indirectly from additives. Obviously the future enologist will have to be as sophisticated in the chemical analytical laboratory as in sensory examination. 

A positive result is one that proves the presence of the analyte in the sample according to the analytical procedure when the general criteria and the criteria specified for the individual detection method are fulfilled. For substances with a zero tolerance, the result of the analysis is positive if the identity of the analyte in the sample is proven unambiguously. For substances with an established MRL, the result of the analysis is positive if the experimentally determined content of the analyte in the sample (after applying any correction for recovery) is greater than the established maximum residue limit, which takes into account the acceptable probability of obtaining falsepositive or false-negative results. 

The only apprehension of prospective industrial radiation processors with the nonmeasurability criterion comes from the analogies with the history of pesticide residues in foods U). Pesticides are cleared on the basis of either zero tolerance or finite tolerance, and use is rated as safe for a zero-tolerance pesticide when the residue on foods cannot be measured. However, improvements in measurement techniques with time have changed the definition of zero tolerance, sometimes abruptly. Radiation processors are apprehensive of similar experiences with radioactivity induced in food.
