Does anyone have information on the pharmacoepial or GLP/GMP requirements for
the use of balances in microbiological testing?

1.   frequency of calibration - daily weight checks or weight checks only prior
to use?
2.   is it sufficient to use a balance internal calibration programme or is
there a requirement to use standard calibrated weights?
3.   are there requirements for minimum sample weights, weighing ranges etc.

Thankyou
