separate weighing room
Explanation:

Weighing of starting materials usually should be carried out in a separate weighing room designed for that use.
http://ec.europa.eu/health/files/eudralex/vol-4/pdfs-en/cap3...


This 350 sq.ft. metal-free clean laboratory has two laminar flow work stations, two fume hoods, a Millipore ultrapure water system, a separate weighing room with two Sartorious balances (Genius analytical balance and Expert top-loading balance), an Analab closed environment evaporation system, two centrifuges, an ultrasonic bath, two Savillex acid stills, five temperature-controllled hot plates, and miscellaneous other items (including Parr bombs).

"Weighing of starting materials usually should be carried out in a separate weighing room designed for that use." (3.13 EU GMP Guideline). This explicit requirement for a weigh-in area reflects the importance of the process. In addition to the requirements regarding layout, surfaces, etc., the rooms should also be separate from the other rooms in the production area. During the planning phase, the location of the weigh-in process should be established depending on the defined material and personnel flows. Permanent weigh-in in multi-functional rooms is thus not recommended. This is understandable, as the weigh-in system must be very precisely defined with balances and processes, in order to prevent cross-contamination, mix-ups or confusion.
