HOW THIS VERIFICATION WORKS

  1. Step 1: Compute effective dwell time on weigh bed — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  2. Step 2: Calculate maximum usable sampling points per container — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  3. Step 3: Estimate minimum detectable weight difference based on noise-limited resolution and filtering — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  4. Step 4: Verify Δm_min meets regulatory detectability requirement for beverage fill control — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
  5. Step 5: Compute total deterministic latency from classification to actuation — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  6. Step 6: Convert latency to positional uncertainty at line speed — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  7. Step 7: Assess reject zone adequacy relative to position uncertainty — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  8. Step 8: Verify reject zone adequacy ratio meets design rule threshold — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
  9. Step 9: Compute actual buffer capacity in records — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  10. Step 10: Calculate maximum outage duration before buffer overflow — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  11. Step 11: Verify t_outage_max satisfies 21 CFR Part 11 gap tolerance — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.
  12. Step 12: Compute maximum permitted ground loop impedance using Ohm’s Law and protective device curve — performs a deterministic calculation from the provided inputs. No acceptance criterion is applied; the result is CALCULATED only.
  13. Step 13: Verify R_g_max complies with IEC 60204-1 Table 17 for IP65 equipment — compares engineering inputs against deterministic thresholds and produces a PASS or FAIL decision.

This tool coordinates 4 validation steps and 9 calculation steps. The overall engineering decision uses ALL_REQUIRED_VALIDATION_PASS aggregation: only validation steps contribute to the pass/fail outcome; calculation steps produce data only.

UNDERSTANDING THE RESULTS

PASS
A proven validation criterion passed. The engineering input satisfies the deterministic threshold.
FAIL
A proven validation criterion failed. The engineering input does not satisfy the deterministic threshold.
CALCULATED
A deterministic calculation completed, but no acceptance criterion exists for this step. CALCULATED does NOT mean PASS.
RESULT NOT VALID
Runtime executed but engineering validity requirements were not met.
INCOMPLETE
Required inputs or workflow steps are incomplete.

The overall decision reflects only validation steps. Calculation steps produce numerical results without pass/fail claims.
