When metal is a significant hazard

If upstream steps can introduce metal and no later step removes it, detection before pack-off is often justified.

Challenge tests and sensitivity

Test ferrous, non-ferrous, and stainless standards at defined intervals. Record failures and product holds.

Corrective actions

Segregate suspect product, fix the cause, recheck the detector, and disposition product before release.
