3-2. Assessing Production Documents: executed and master records Satish Mallya January , 2011
Documentation • Good production documentation: • Ensures uniformity, consistency and a common understanding of expectations; • Outlines the procedures for handling raw materials, manufacturing and control; • Facilitates decision making on release/quarantine/rejection of a batch; • Ensures accountability, traceability, and documentation trail that will permit investigation in the event of product recall; • Permits retrospective validation and periodic quality review throughout product lifecycle. January 19-22, 2011
Manufacturing Formula • Formally authorised Manufacturing Formula and Processing Instructions should exist for each product and batch size to be manufactured. • The Manufacturing Formula should include: • the name of the product, with a product reference code relating to its specification; • a description of the pharmaceutical form, strength of the product and batch size; • a list of all starting materials to be used, with the amount of each, described using the designated name and a reference which is unique to that material; mention should be made of any substance that may disappear in the course of processing; • a statement of the expected final yield with the acceptable limits, and of relevant intermediateyields, where applicable.

Batch Packaging Records • A Batch Packaging Record should be kept for each batch or part batch processed. It should be based on the relevant parts of the Packaging Instructions and the method of preparation of such records should be designed to avoid transcription errors. • The record should carry: • the batch number and the quantity of bulk product to be packed, as well as the batch number and the planned quantity of finished product that will be obtained. • Before any packaging operation begins, there should be recorded checks that the equipment and work station are clear of previous products, documents or materials not required for the planned packaging operations, and that equipment is clean and suitable for use. • Source: PIC/S Guide to GMP for Medicinal Products – September 2009 January 19-22, 2011
Batch Packaging Records • The following information should be entered at the time each action is taken and, after completion, the record should be dated and signed in agreement bythe person(s) responsible for the packaging operations: • the name of the product; • the date(s) and times of the packaging operations; • the name of the responsible person carrying out the packaging operation; • the initials of the operators of the different significant steps; • records of checks for identity and conformity with the Packaging Instructions including the results of in-process controls; • details of the packaging operations carried out, including references to equipment and the packaging lines used; • whenever possible, samples of printed packaging materials used, including specimens of the batch coding, expiry dating and any additional overprinting; • notes on any special problems or unusual events including details with signed authorisation for any deviation from the Manufacturing Formula and Processing Instructions; • the quantities and reference number or identification of all printed packaging materials and bulk product issued, used, destroyed or returned to stock and the quantities of obtained product, in order to provide for an adequate reconciliation • Source: PIC/S Guide to GMP for Medicinal Products – September 2009 January 19-22, 2011
General Rules • Master records should be in English, if not a translated version should be available. It may not be necessary to obtain a translated version of the executed record if applicant provides an undertaking that the master is identical to the executed except in the matter of populated fields and provides a translation of any observations, comments, reports of deviations or hand written remarks; • Verify that: • all pages of master and executed records have been submitted - each page will generally state the total number of pages (e.g. 1 of 40); • manufacturing sequence is in harmony with the flow chart and the narrative description; • in-process controls are not less stringent than FPP release specs; • equipment are identified by type and capacity and a unique ID number is assigned to each equipment; January 19-22, 2011
General Rules • The master record should be compared with the executed record for biolot in order to ensure that the proposed manufacturing process is representative of that used to manufacture the biolot; • It is desirable that each operation be governed by an individual SOP; • It is desirable that a list of referenced SOPs be included at the end of the batch records. • It is possible that SOPs might make reference to other relevant SOPs; January 19-22, 2011
SOPs • Serve to reduce the bulk of the batch record; • Should be written in a language appropriate to the content and to facilitate understanding by the end user (e.g. operator); • My not necessarily be specific to a product; • Are generally intended to describe in detail, a single event, equipment, operation, process or procedure.
