± 0.4 °C of the remaining

± 1%RH (10 ÷ 90) %RH

± 2.0 %RH (of the remaining)

Hygro-Thermometer

- Range of measurement: (0 ÷ 50) °C

- Accuracy: ±0.5 °C

- Range of measurement: (10 ÷95) %RH

- Accuracy: ±3%RH

3.3 Auxiliary Instrument(s)

- Distilled water

- Sprayer

- Tissue, glass cup

4. Conditions for Calibration

Temperature: (25 ± 2) °C

Humidity: 80 %RH

The temperature, as well as the humidity, must be recorded before and after calibration

5. Prepare for Calibration

Prior to the calibration, the following preparations must be done:

- Prepare the Technical Calibration Buffer

- Place the pH tester and Technical Calibration Buffer in the calibration room at least 1 hour prior to calibration.

- The Technical Calibration Buffer must be kept at constant temperature at least 1 hr at (25 ± 0,2) 0C in Heated Digital Water Bath

- Prior to calibration, immerse the pH tester electrode with distilled water at least 3 hrs in the lab.

Before measuring the pH level of Technical Calibration Buffer, the followings must be met:

- Clean the pH tester’s electrodes with distilled water.

- Dry the electrode with tissue.

The pH tester to be calibrated must be operating at least 15 mins prior to calibration.

6. Begin the calibration

6.1 Outside Check

6.2 Technical Check

6.3 Measurement Check

A pH tester is checked and measured according to the following content, method and requirements:

- Calibrate the pH tester according to the manufacturer's technical documents.

- Check the error with standard pH solutions

- Measure at least 3 times for each pH standard solution. Record the measured results in the record.

- Calculate the error

7. Measurement Uncertainty Evaluation

8. General handling

a. The calibrated pH tester is stamped, certified in paper along with calibration results, and measurement uncertainty.

b. The recommended calibration cycle of pH tester is 12 months.

The scent of new wood in a newly handed-over apartment: How to measure and address formaldehyde (HCHO) levels before moving in

Many people refer to the pungent, acrid odor that emerges when opening a new cabinet as the "smell of new wood," assuming it will simply dissipate after a few days. In reality, however, what is being released could well be formaldehyde—a substance originating from the adhesives used in the pressed-wood panels—and our sense of smell is not a reliable enough gauge to determine the concentration levels present

Guide to Selecting a TCLP Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure Shaker Configuration in Compliance with QCVN 07:2025/BNNMT and TCVN 9239:2012

Regulation QCVN 07:2025/BNNMT (replacing QCVN 07:2009/BTNMT and QCVN 50:2013/BTNMT) specifies hazardous waste and sludge thresholds based on leachate concentrations. To ensure that analytical results for heavy metals and organic compounds are accepted during ISO/IEC 17025 or VIMCERTS assessments, laboratories must comply with the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) specified in TCVN 9239:2012, which is equivalent to US EPA Method 1311

Crowded Gyms and Yoga Studios: How to Manage Air Quality to Retain Members

Around 6 or 7 in the evening, the gym becomes packed; the music drowns out the sound of heavy breathing, and the air conditioning runs at full blast behind closed doors. At first glance, everything seems fine: the room is cool, the lights are bright, and the equipment is state-of-the-art. Yet, after just a few sessions, regular members begin to feel a heavy-headedness and find themselves running out of breath more quickly eventually, they simply stop renewing their memberships. No one complains about the personal trainers or the exercise machines. The very thing that makes them feel stifled and drives them away is something entirely invisible: the air inside the room
