I have been reading this blog for the past 6 years and feel that you are doing a wonderful job and I would like to thank you that.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few points I would like to state about the SOP. I don' think point 5.3 and 5.6 need to mentioned in the SOP. 5.3 would lead auditors to believe that labels are not changed from Quarantine to Passed on-line OR it might also mean that a Bill of Materials can be generated even if a packaging material is still under Quarantine.
5.6 is covered under Handling of Deviations SOP.
I had another question? What is the procedure for dispensing primary Packaging materials? I have learnt that in some companies, the primary packaging materials like foil, PVC, Bottles are dispensed in the same way as APIs. Please share your thoughts on this.
