USP <1216> friability is the rotating-drum abrasion test for uncoated tablets: a 6.5 g sample tumbles 100 revolutions at 25 rpm and must lose ≤1.0% mass.

How V5 handles it
QMS — quality engineered into every action, not bolted on.
Because V5 owns the operator action, the QMS sees the data the second it’s captured — not at the end of the shift.
Document control with hard kiosk-level training enforcement.
Versioned SOPs are only useful if operators are actually trained on the current version. V5 enforces it at the kiosk.
