5.3.1 General
5.3.1.1 The laboratory should develop and implement procedures for equipment maintenance, calibration and performance verification (see Appendix C). 5.3.1.2 The equipment should meet the specified performance parameters and comply with relevant test indicators. Whenever a failure is found in the equipment, it should be stopped immediately and the impact on previous results should be checked if necessary. 5.3.1.3 Each device should have a unique identification. 5.3.1.4 If the equipment is out of the direct control of the laboratory or is repaired, it should be inspected or calibrated before resuming use to ensure that its performance meets the requirements.
5.3.1.5 When using computers or automated equipment to collect, process, record, report, store or retrieve data, ensure that: computer software developed by the user should be documented in sufficient detail and its applicability should be appropriately verified; a
Develop and implement appropriate procedures to protect the integrity of data and records at all times to prevent unintentional or unauthorized access, modification, or destruction; b) Computers and automated equipment should be maintained to ensure their normal operation, and appropriate environmental and operating conditions should be provided. 5.3.1.6 To avoid accidental cross-contamination, laboratory equipment should not be moved frequently. 5.3.2 Maintenance
5.3.2.1 The installation and layout of equipment should be convenient for operation, easy to maintain, clean and calibrate. 5.3.2.2 Equipment should be verified and maintained regularly to ensure that it is in good working condition. Maintenance and performance verification should be performed at specific time intervals based on the frequency of use, and relevant records should be kept. 5.3.2.3 Newly purchased glassware should be soaked in 5% sodium hydroxide and 3% dilute acid for 24 hours respectively, and then cleaned before use.3 In accordance with good operating practices, the following clearly marked isolated sites or clearly designated areas should be considered: a) sample receiving and storage area;
sample pre-treatment area (for example, powdered products that are easily contaminated should be handled in an isolated area); sample microbiological testing (including culture) and identification of suspected pathogens: storage area for standard strains and other strains; culture medium and chemical reagent storage area (culture medium and chemical reagents are stored separately, and dangerous goods and toxic drugs should be stored in special counters); f) culture medium and equipment preparation and sterilization area; g) sterile area;

5.2.1.4 In molecular biology laboratories, the use of pipettes, pipette tips, centrifuge tubes, test tubes, etc. should be limited to a certain work area. 5.2.1.5 The work area should be kept clean and dust-free, and the space should be commensurate with the needs of microbiological testing and the overall layout of the laboratory. The laboratory space should comply with the relevant provisions of GB19489 and GB50346. 5.2.1.6 Maintain good ventilation and appropriate temperature through natural conditions or ventilation devices or use of air conditioning. When using air conditioning, the appropriate filter equipment should be checked, maintained and replaced according to different work categories. Pollution can be reduced by the following ways:
Walls, ceilings, floors, tables and chairs with smooth surfaces (the degree of smoothness should depend on the difficulty of cleaning); the joints between the floor, walls and ceiling should have arcs, and the floor should be non-slip; when testing, doors and windows should be closed;
Sunshades should be installed outdoors. If they cannot be installed outdoors, they should be easy to clean; unless they are sealed and packaged, liquid transport pipelines should not pass over the work area; f)
There should be air filtration devices in the ventilation system; g) )
Independent wash basin, non-manual control is better, preferably near the door of the laboratory; do not use rough and exposed wood blocks;
