• Standard 2 injection given in specification only injected once.

• The vast difference in 2 areas of the same sample subsequent injections (6 digits & 7 digits) through area present is the same.
• Acidity/ alkali mentioned on COA but specification mentions acidity only
• Non-volatile residue calculation wrong, no weights attached.
• Assay – Chromatographic conditions not mentioned in teat report.
• No identification of standard injection. No analyzed or checked by sign on the chromatogram.

USFDA Audit Points in Engineering

• HVAC load at the time of installation of plant, no document available.
• SOP for preparation of drawing not available, in which all the details will be captured e.g Drawing No. Obsolete drawings etc.
• Drawings not updated e.g Room names not updated, female change room, branding area etc
• Legend not defined.
• Segregation drawing not updated.
• Pressure differential segregation not justified between packing hall and primary packing cubicles.
• Segregation limit rationales not defined and validated
• Engineering change control not completed
• Calibration plan not available.
• Calibration execution details not available
• Documents are not signed e.g facility maintenance checklist
• SOP for receiving equipments in the plant are not available.

• Tracking system of preventive maintenance plan execution not prepared.
• No issuance of preventive maintenance schedule for concern department as per SOP
• SOP not followed for numbering system.
• Checklist for preventive maintenance not available for equipments like drum mixer, branding machine, tablet inspection belt so need to review with respect to equipment available as on date
• Preventive Maintenance schedule plan not approved, Tracking system for Preventive maintenance plan execution not prepared.
• No document availability for Plan verse Action of Preventive maintenance. Engineering SOP regarding the Work Permit not followed, engineering personnel follows work permit of EHS department SOP.
• No log book is with page numbering.
• Running of AHU depending upon production needs, no document prepare for the same, as earlier all the AHU’s are in operation but because of cost cutting, AHU runs based on production need,
• No document prepare i.e. on what basis we change our system from AHU running through out the day and at present only when the room is in use.

• No Change control initiated.List of critical spare not available.
• No. of spare filters list not available.Filter cleaning / inspection.
