Abstract
The GA-CAT (Gavarti Associates-Comprehensive Abrasion Tester) was put throu gh sensitivity and repeatability studies to determine the variability assoc iated with the machine. This was done to evaluate its ability to detect dif ferences in quality within a batch of production run labels. The results sh owed that repeatability was poor so that quality variations in labels could not be assessed. The focus of the study therefore shifted to evaluating th e causes of machine variability.
