This preface, as well as all footnotes and annexes, is included for informational purposes only
and is not part of ISA-RP76.0.01-1998.
This recommended practice has been prepared as part of the service of ISA, the international
society for measurement and control, toward a goal of uniformity in the field of instrumentation.
To be of real value, this document should not be static, but should be subject to periodic review.
Toward this end, the Society welcomes all comments and criticisms, and asks that they be
addressed to the Secretary, Standards and Practices Board; ISA; 67 Alexander Drive; P. O. Box
12277; Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Telephone (919) 549-8411; Fax (919) 549-8288; E-
mail: standards@isa.org.
The ISA Standards and Practices Department is aware of the growing need for attention to the
metric system of units in general, and the International System of Units (SI) in particular, in the
preparation of instrumentation standards, recommended practices, and technical reports. The
Department is further aware of the benefits to USA users of ISA standards of incorporating
suitable references to the SI (and the metric system) in their business and professional dealings
with other countries. Toward this end, this Department will endeavor to introduce SI and
acceptable metric units in all new and revised standards, recommended practices and technical
reports to the extent possible. Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The
Modern Metric System , published by the American Society for Testing & Materials as IEEE/
ASTM SI 10-97, and future revisions, will be the reference guide for definitions, symbols,
abbreviations, and conversion factors.
It is the policy of ISA to encourage and welcome the participation of all concerned individuals and
interests in the development of ISA standards. Participation in the ISA standards-making
process by an individual in no way constitutes endorsement by the employer of that individual, of
ISA, or of any of the standards, recommended practices, and technical reports that ISA develops.

The purpose of this recommended practice is to establish procedures for analyzer, packaged
analyzer system, and sample system inspection and testing. The guidelines are intended to
provide minimum requirements for inspecting and testing analyzers, sample systems, and
analyzer systems prior to final acceptance. In no instance is this recommended practice intended
to override any established company procedures.

2 Scope
The attached inspection guidelines are recommended for use during structured analyzer system
inspection. The inspection should be performed by qualified individuals. This recommended
practice is intended to be a guide and not a "how to" document. These are guidelines and should
be modified to include any special project requirements. These guidelines cover three basic
areas, which are:
For the purposes of this document, STRUCTURED TESTING is defined as any witnessed test
procedure that follows a predefined format.

3.2 Documentation availability and applicability
All documentation should be system specific, and the latest revisions of the applicable
documents should be used. Any documentation not pertinent to the project should be deleted
(unless previously agreed to otherwise). All applicable documentation should be readily available
at the time of the inspection. The documentation format should be as specified or agreed to
beforehand (including language).
3.3 Maintainability
Wherever possible, all equipment should be installed in such a manner that any hardware items
can be easily removed without the removal of any other hardware. Easy tool access to screws,
nuts, fittings, etc. should be available. All equipment should be mounted so that removable
covers are accessible and adequate clearance for removal is provided.
A small sample of tube fittings should be dismantled and checked for workmanship. All unfilled
sealing fittings should be clearly identified with a red tag. Piping, wiring, and conduit should be
sufficiently supported to withstand any anticipated vibration from site conditions or transportation.
The inspector should check that there are no sharp edges, points or protrusions that could injure
personnel during transportation, placement, or use.
All outstanding action items should be resolved before the conclusion of the acceptance test. In
the event that an open item cannot be resolved, an expected date should be identified by which
the item will be resolved. An action log such as that at the end of Clause 4 is recommended for
that purpose.
The following may be used as inspection checklists or as references to help prepare checklists. It
is suggested that any deviations from a checklist would be accepted only if agreed to in writing by
both the customer and the vendor. Each type of analyzer system and/or sample can have unique
requirements. Several blanks have been left in the following inspection guides, so users may
easily incorporate additional items. Some of the listed items may not be relevant and may be
deleted from a particular checklist; they are intended only as guides.
