3. SECTIONS IN MAXMED
Pharmaceutical raw materials comprise substrates or elements that are used for
manufacturing different types of drugs e.g. endocrine disorder drugs, musculoskeletal system drugs,
anti-infective drugs viz. cephalexin, penicillin, ampicillin, cephradine, etc. Pharmaceutical excipients
and ingredients or raw materials used to manufacture drugs are extracted from different sources.
These sources could be natural or synthetic. Recently, many of the raw materials previously derived
from natural sources are being produced synthetically in part or even biotechnologically. This is so
because manufacturing them artificially is economical, safer and much quicker. Pharmaceutical raw
materials are manufactured using different types of acids, alcohols, esters, phenones, pyridines, etc.
Pharmaceutical raw materials are essential to producing pharmaceutical drugs and include
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) also known as bulk active are pharmaceutically active and
have desired pharmacological effects on the body e.g. alvimopan, sparfloxacin,
sapropterindihydrochloride, lanreotideacetate, nicotinic aicd, etc. In contrast pharmaceutical
excipients are the pharmaceutically inert substances which help in delivering the active ingredients
e.g. anti-adherents, binders, coatings, disintegrants, fillers, etc.
Receiving
Raw material is supplied by vendors by placing order.
Sampling
Before sampling get line clearance by QA person.
OC person test the sample of raw material under LAF by different tests and fill it in
“Observation on sampling are and pack” and “Certificate of analysis”.
Warehouse operators will paste the labels of “Approved label” and “Sampled label”.
Next sent raw material for storing.
Storing
The raw material is stored at 3 different temperature zones –
o Ambient: Not more than 35 0C
o Controlled temperature room: 15 – 25 0C
o Cold room: 2 – 8 0C
Dispensing
Raw material is picked for dispensing according to “Material pick list for process order” and
dispensed according to BMR prepared by QA personnel.
Selection of raw material is done according to “First expiry first dispense”.
Raw material is dispensed from dispensing booth under LAF to the production area.
PRODUCTION SECTION
General Instructions and Precautions –

Unit Operations
WET GRANULATION
1. Milling of drugs and excipients.
2. Mixing of milled powders.
3. Preparation of binder solution.
4. Mixing binder solution with powder mixture to form wet mass.
5. Coarse screening of wet mass using 6- to 12- mesh.
6. Drying moist granules.
7. Screening dry granules with lubricant and disintegrants.
8. Mixing screened granules with lubricant and disintegrants.
9. Tablet compression.
DRY GRANULATION
1. Milling of drugs and excipients.
2. Mixing of milled powders.
3. Compression into large, hard tablets called slugs.
4. Screening of slugs.
5. Mixing with lubricant and disintegrating agent.
6. Tablet compression.
DIRECT COMPRESSION
EQUIPMENTS
1. SIFTER
An instrument used to sieve the ingredients of a tablet with a replaceable mess ware. In this
technique, particles of power mass are placed on a screen made of uniform aperture. The sifter is
attached with a vibrator that helps in sieving the materials through the meshwork. The mechanism of
action is to loosen the packing of the particle in contact with screen surface, permitting entrapped sub
sieve particles to the screen surface.
2. Planetary Mixer
For wet granulation a planetary mixer is used. Solutions of the binding agent are added to the mixed
powders with stirring. The powder mass is wetted with the binding solution until the mass has the
consistency of damp snow. The planetary mixer can mix a material of 100kg. The beater of the
planetary mixer revolves 2-4 times for each revolution of the head, providing double mixing action.
3. Mass Mixer
This is also mixing equipment used to mix dry as well is wet ingredients. The mixer has blades that
are alternately arranged and is allows uniform mixing. The mass mixer is emptied by inverting it and
scrapping off its ingredients. The planetary mixer can mix a material of 100kg.
4. Multi-mill
This is a hammer mill that uses a high speed rotor to which a number of swinging hammers are fixed.
The unit is enclosed with chamber containing a grid or removable screen through which the material
can pass. The material is fed from the top and ground by impact of hammers or against the plates
around the periphery of the casing. The materials are enough pass through the screen that forms the
lower portion of the chamber. The fragments are swept downward against the screen where they
undergo additional hammering action until they are reduced to a size small enough to pass through
the openings and out. Oversize particles are hurled upwards into the chamber where they also
undergo further blows by the revolving hammers.
6. Tray dryer
It consists of a chamber, containing horizontal arrangements of trays on which granules are dried.
The drying process is accomplished by a gust of hot air driven by or blower through an electric
heater and heat exchange. In this method, the wet materials are placed over paper sheets and finally
placed over the trays and the drying operation is carried out. These dryers are mainly useful for
materials that contain alcoholic solutions and where slow drying for better granule characteristic is
necessary.
7. Compressor
For increased production, Rotary machines offer a great advantage. A head carrying a number of sets
of punches and dies revolves continuously while the tablet granulation runs from the hopper, through
a feed frame and into the dies placed in a large, steel plate revolving under it. This method promotes
a uniform fill of the die and therefore an accurate weight for the tablet. Compression takes place as
the upper and the lower punches passes between a pair of rollers. This action produce a slow
squeezing effect on the material in the die cavity from the top and bottom and so gives a chance for
the entrapped air to escape. The punches and dies can be removed for inspection, cleaning and
inserting different sets to produce a great variety of shapes and sizes.
TABLET PRESSES
The basic unit of any tablet press is a set of tooling consisting of two punches and a die which is
called a station.
The die determines the diameter or shape of the tablet; the punches, upper and lower, come
together in the die that contains the tablet formulation to form a tablet.
There are two types of presses: single-punch and rotary punch.
The single-punch press has a single station of one die and two punches, and is capable of
producing from 40 to 120 tablets per minute depending on the size of the tablet. It is largely used
in the early stages of tablet formulation development.
The rotary press has a multiplicity of stations arranged on a rotating table in which the dies are
fed the formulation producing tablets at production rates of' from a few to many thousands per
minute.
There are numerous models of presses manufactured by a number of companies, ranging in size,
speed, and capacity.
COATING
Tablet coatings perform one or more of the following functions. They may: mask the taste of
unpalatable drugs, protect the drug from deterioration due to light, oxygen or moisture, separate
incompatible ingredients, control the release of medicament in the gastrointestinal tract, and
provide an elegant or distinctive finish to the tablet.
The materials used for coating may largely comprise sucrose (sugar coating), water soluble film
forming polymers (film coating) or substances which are soluble in the intestinal secretions but
not in those of the stomach (enteric coating).
These types of coating can all be applied by the pan or fluid-bed processes; the compression
coating technique is suitable for sugar and enteric coatings, but not for film coating.
TYPES OF COATING
1) SUGAR COATING
2) FILM COATING
3) MODIFIED RELEASE COATING
1) SUGAR COATING: This traditional coating imparts a smooth, rounded, elegant appearance to
the tablet. Stephenson and Smith (1951) have given a detailed discussion on the composition of
sugar coatings.
The sugarcoating process involves building up layers of coating material on the tablet cores
as they are tumbled in a revolving pan by repetitively applying a coating solution or
suspension and drying off the solvent.
Before sugarcoating, the core is coated with a sealing coat of shellac, PVP*-stabilized types
of shellac, or other polymeric materials, such as cellulose acetate phthalate and polyvinyl
acetate phthalate.
The next stage is to build up a subcoat that will provide a good bridge between the main
coating and the sealed core, as well as round off any sharp corners. This step is followed by
smoothing or grossing.
The finishing stage is accomplished by again applying one or two layers of clear syrup. The
tablets are then left for several hours before being transferred to the polishing pan.
The polish is a dilute wax solution (e.g., carnauba or beeswax in petroleum spirit) applied
sparingly until a high luster is produced.
2) FILM COATING: Film coating has increased in popularity for various reasons.
The film process is simpler and, therefore, easier to automate. It is also faster than
sugarcoating, since weight gains of only 2 to 6% are involved, as opposed to more than 50%
with sugarcoating.
Two major groups of film coating materials may be distinguished:
(a) Those that are non-enteric and, for the most part, cellulose derivatives, and
(b) Those that can provide an enteric effect and are commonly esters of phthalic acid.
Films may contain a plasticizer that prevents the film from becoming brittle with consequent
risk of chipping.
Until recently, alcohols, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and ketones have been among the
most frequently used types of solvents. However, because of increasing regulatory pressures
against undesirable solvents, there has been a pronounced trend toward aqueous film coating.
3) Modified-Release Coatings: A coating may be applied to a tablet to modify the release pattern of
the active ingredient.
Two general categories, enteric coating and controlled-release coating, are distinguished.
The former are insoluble in the low pH environment of the stomach but dissolve readily in
the small intestine with its elevated pH.
They are used to minimize irritation of the gastric mucosa by certain drugs and to protect
others that are degraded by gastric juices.
Packaging and Labeling of tablets are done in Packaging and Labeling area.
In this area concurrently three actions i.e. visual checking for contaminant or deformity, Labeling
and Packing are taking place.
This room is fitted with air-conditioners and a temperature of about 27◦C is maintained.
This area has an inspection table where deformity and contamination are checked against black
and white background.
The minimum luminosity required in the inspection zone is 500lacs.
The inspection table is fitted with stainless steel conveyors.
The equipment is attached with a motor of 1 H.P. and a reduction gear box with adjustable
pulley.
It is sometimes convenient to categorize packages by layer or functions –
1) Primary Packaging
2) Secondary Packaging
3) Tertiary Packaging
Primary Packaging – It is the material that first envelope the product and holds it. This usually is
the smallest unit of distribution or use and is the package which is in direct contact with the content.
Secondary Packaging – It is outside the primary packing and may be used to prevent pilferage or to
group primary packages together.
TYPES OF PACKAGING
1) BLISTER PACKING
2) STRIP PACKING
1) Blister Packing: This is useful for packaging of unit dose of pharmaceuticals. This packing mode
has been used extensively for several good reasons. It is a packaging configuration capable of
providing excellent environmental protection, coupled with an aesthetically pleasing and
efficacious appearance. It also provides user functionally in terms of convenience, child
resistance and now temperature resistance.
2) Strip packing: The blister package is formed by heat softening a sheet of thermoplastic resin and
vacuum drawing the softened sheets of plastic into a contoured mould. After coming, the sheet
is released from the mould and proceeds to the filling station of the packaging machine. The
semi-rigid blister previously formed, is filled with the product and lidded with a heat sealable
backing material. The backing material can be either a push through or peelable type. For a push
through type of blister, the backing material is usually heat seal coated aluminum foil. The
packaging of the final product is done in paper cartons, manually, and is finally sealed using an
automatic sealer. The machine can seal cartons.
Types of Capsules
The hard capsule is also called “two piece” as it consists of two pieces in the form of small
cylinders closed at one end, the shorter piece is called the “cap” which fits over the open end of
the longer piece, called the “body”.
The soft gelatin capsule is also called as “one piece”. Capsules are available in many sizes to
provide dosing flexibility.
Unpleasant drug tastes and odors can be masked by the tasteless gelatin shell.
The administration of liquid and solid drugs enclosed in hard gelatin capsules is one of the most
frequently utilized dosage forms.
a) Removal of caps
b) Filling of the bodies
c) Replacement of caps
d) Ejection of filled capsules

Containers for Parenteral preparations should be made from materials that are transparent to
permit visual inspection of the contents of the containers and should not adversely affect the
quality of the preparation under the storage conditions, handling and use. These may be packed
in glass ampoules vials or bottles or in other containers such as plastic bottles.
Fig 18. Vials Filling with Rubber Stoppering, Capping & Labeling Machine
Closures
Vials or bottles are closed with closures that are having a good seal to prevent the access of
micro-organisms and other contaminants and a part or the whole of the contents of the container
can be withdrawn without removal of the closure. The material of which the closure is composed
must be compatible with the preparation and must allow the passage of a needle with the minimal
shedding of particles and to ensure that the hole is resealed when the needle is removed.

Inspection
According to Good Manufacturing Practices, each final container of a Parenteral preparation
must be individually inspected for visible foreign material.
If any foreign material is found, the container should be rejected.
Labeling
The labeling of the containers of Parenteral preparations should be done in a manner that the area
should be uncovered to inspect the content of the container. The label of any Parenteral
preparation should contain the name of preparation, amount of active ingredient, storage
conditions and the amount of diluents to be used to get the specified concentration of the active
ingredient.
1. Injections
Injections are sterile solutions those are prepared by dissolving the active ingredients and any
added substances in Water for Injection or in a suitable non-aqueous base, or in a mixture of
both if they are miscible.
Injections that are suspensions may show sediment but should be readily dispersible on
shaking. The suspension should remain stable to deliver a homogenous dose of each
withdrawal from the container.
2. Infusions
Infusions are sterile aqueous solutions with water as the continuous phase. They are free from
pyrogens or bacterial endotoxins, are usually made isotonic with blood and do not contain
any added antimicrobial preservatives.
3. Powders for injection
Powders for injection are sterile solid substances those are distributed in their final volume
when shaken with the appropriate volume of sterile WFI to form a clear particle-free solution.
4. Concentrated Solutions for injection
Concentrated Solutions for injection are sterile solutions that are administered by injection or
by intravenous infusion only after dilution with water for injection.
5. Implants
Implants are sterile solid preparations of size and shape suitable for implantation into tissues
to release the active ingredient for a long time period. They are filled individually in sterile
containers.

Quality Control (QC) laboratory ensures that the products are pure, safe and effective and are
released only after thorough analysis as per stringent specifications, methods and procedures
developed according to international guidelines viz. EU cGMP, MHRA, WHO, TGA, etc.
One of the most important elements in QC laboratory program is the quality and assurance of
the standard which are used. The standard can be broadly defined into two categories –
Reference standard or primary standard
Working standard or secondary standard
The working standard are those obtained from reliable source and whose purity and strength have
been optimized through test, generally compared with the reference standard. The quality control
section performs different control measure and test procedures to verify the product and material
quality. The tests are performed by the QC personnel and the results are matched with a reference
standard.
Different types of test are performed for different material. The types of test performed for each
material are as follows –
1. Size and Shape test
2. Color test
3. Hardness test
4. Friability test
5. Weight Variation test
6. Content uniformity test
7. Disintegration test
8. Dissolution test
9. HPLC
10. IR Spectroscopy
11. UV Spectrophotometer
1. Size and Shape – Thickness is + 5% of standard value control to facilitate packaging. Shaped
tablet requires slotted punches because of the non-uniformity force during compression.
3. Hardness
Tablet requires a certain amount of strength or hardness and resistance to friability to withstand
mechanical shakes of handling in manufacture, packaging and shipping.
Hardness generally measures the tablet crushing strength. The strength of a tablet was determined
by following ways;
(a) By cracking the tablet between 2nd and 3rd fingers with the thumb acting as a fulcrum. If there
is a sharp snap, the tablet is an acceptable strength.
(b) Tablet hardness can be defined as the force required breaking a tablet in a diametric
compression. In this test the tablet is placed between two anvils, force is applied to the
anvils, and the crushing strength that just causes the tablet to break is recorded.
Generally used Hardness testers are:
a) Monsanto Tester
b) Strong-Cobb Tester
c) Pfizer Tester
d) Erweka Tester
e) Schleuniger Tester
4. Friability
Friability of a tablet can determine in laboratory by Roche friabilator.
This consist of a plastic chamber that revolves at 25 rpm, dropping the tablets through a Distance
of six inches in the friabilator, which is then operate for 100 revolutions.
The tablets are reweighed. Compress tablet that lose less than 0.5 to 1.0 % of the Tablet weigh
are consider acceptable.

9. HPLC
Most widely used separation technique
Broad applicability – organic & inorganic
Can be very sensitive, accurate & precise
Suitable for separation of nonvolatile species
Chromatography can be described as a mass transfer process involving adsorption using a non-
polar stationary phase and a mobile polar phase titrating through the column. The active component
of the column, the sorbent or the stationary phase, is typically a granular material made of solid
particles (e.g. silica, polymers, etc.), 2-50 μm in size. High performance liquid chromatography
(HPLC) is a chromatographic technique used to separate a mixture of compounds in analytical
chemistry and biochemistry with the purpose of identifying, quantifying or purifying the individual
components of the mixture. Before the invention of HPLC, chemists had column chromatography at
their disposal, and column chromatography was time consuming. To speed up a classic column
chromatography, chemists would have to use a short column for separation, however this lead to
poor separation of molecular components held within solution. The basic setup of a classic column
chromatography would include the column that varied in I.D. from 10 to 50nm and column lengths
of 50-500cm. The column was then packed with the stationary phase ranging in particle size from
150 to 200 μm thick. Chemists realized that with the development of pressurized systems, reducing
the particle size would increase the efficiency. It was not until the late 60’s that chemists and
industrial engineering process acquired adequate technology and manufacturing techniques to
develop a smaller grained stationary phase that would be cohesive with a pressurized system.
11. UV Spectrophotometer
In Pharmaceutical Industry, A spectrophotometer is commonly used for the measurement of
transmittance or reflectance of solutions, transparent or opaque solids, such as polished glass.
However they can also be designed to measure the diffusion any of the listed light ranges that
usually cover around 200nm-2500nm using different controls and calibrations. Within these
ranges of light, calibrations are needed on the machine using standards that very in type
depending on the wavelength of the photometric determination.
The basic function of a spectrometer is to take in light, break it into its spectral components,
digitize the signal as a function of wavelength, and read it out and display it through a computer.
The first step in this process is to direct light through a fiber optic cable into the spectrometer
through a narrow aperture known as an entrance slit. The slit vignettes the light assist enters the
spectrometer. In most spectrometers, the divergent light is then collimated by a concave mirror
and directed onto a grating.
The grating then disperses the spectral components of the light at slightly varying angles, which
is then focused by a second concave mirror and imaged onto the detector. Alternatively, a
concave holographic grating can be used to perform all three of these functions simultaneously.
This alternative has various advantages and disadvantages, which will be discussed in more detail
later on.
Once the light is imaged onto the detectors the photons are then converted into electrons which
are digitized and read out through a USB (or serial port) to a computer.
The software then interpolates the signal based on the number of pixels in the detector and the
linear dispersion of the diffraction grating to create a calibration that enables the data to be
plotted as a function of wavelength over the given spectral range.

Sterility Testing
One of the most important aspects of the inspection of a sterility analytical program is to review
records of initial positive sterility test results. Request list of test failures to facilitate review of
production and control records and investigation reports.
Particularly for the high risk aseptically filled product, initial positive sterility test results and
investigations should be reviewed.
It is difficult for the manufacturer to justify the release of a product filled aseptically that fails an
initial sterility test without identifying specific problems associated with the controls used for the
sterility test.
Examine the use of negative controls. They are particularly important to a high quality sterility
test. Good practice for such testing includes the use of known terminally sterilized or irradiated
samples as a system control.
Alternatively, vials or ampoules filled during media fills have also been used. Be especially
concerned about the case where a manufacturer of aseptically filled products has never found an
initial positive sterility test. While such situations may occur, they are rare.
In one case, a manufacturer’s records showed that they had never found positive results; their
records had been falsified. Also, the absence of initial positives may indicate that the test has not
been validated to demonstrate that there is no carryover of inhibition from the product or
preservative.
Validation
Confirmation through the provision of objective evidence that the requirements for a specific
intended use or application have been fulfilled.
Validation is one of the important steps in achieving and maintaining the quality of the final
product. If each step of production process is validated we can assure that the final product is of
the best quality.
Validation of the individual steps of the processes is called the process validation. Different
dosage forms have different validation protocols.
Analytical Balance – They are used in precise weighting of small amounts of samples and
chemicals used for preparing media and stock solutions.
Incubator – In the microbiology laboratories it is among the leading devices which are work at
different temperatures according to the purpose and the work load of the laboratory. It is used in
cultivating, multiplying and in the characterization tests of microorganisms. This device provides
the heat necessary for the growth of microorganisms.
Biosafety Cabinet – It is used in microbial inoculation and isolation studies as well as sterile
storage of materials. In addition, it is utilized for protection of user, samples and the environment
from hazardous contamination.
Refrigerator – The device is used for the storage of the stock solutions, chemicals, kits and
nutrient media that should be maintained at certain temperatures.
Magnetic Stirrer – It is a device which provides mixing and keeping the chemical solutions and
mixtures at a certain time and temperature by the help of a magnetic bar. Vortex agitates the
solutions in the tube, flask and so on in certain speed and duration.
Deep Freezer – It is used to store stock cultures in microbiology. It is a device used to store
materials which should be kept at low temperatures.
Autoclave – The main purpose of this device is to sterilize materials and media under pressure
and steam.
Inverted Phase Contrast Light Microscope – By the help of different refractive properties of
the light, Phase Contrast Light Microscope provides visibility to sub-cellular structures of
microorganisms that are examined in a liquid medium without any staining. Fluorescence
attachment is used to display objects stained with special fluorescent dyes (DAPI, FITC, Texas
Red, etc.) and that cannot be displayed with normal light microscopy techniques. It operates
according to the principle of reflective light.
pH Meter- It is used to determine the pH of the media prior to experiments and to monitor pH
value during experiments. The device is used especially in the preparation of stock solutions and
the culture media used for the growth of microorganisms.

Good manufacturing practices (GMP) are the practices required in order to conform
to the guidelines recommended by agencies that control authorization and licensing for
manufacture and sale of food, drug products, and active pharmaceutical products. These
guidelines provide minimum requirements that a pharmaceutical or a food product
manufacturer must meet to assure that the products are of high quality and do not pose any
risk to the consumer or public.
Quality Management
1. Principles:
a) Quality should be the responsibility of all persons involved in manufacturing.
b) Each manufacturer should establish, document, and implement an effective system for
managing quality that involves the active participation of management and appropriate
manufacturing personnel.
c) The system for managing quality should encompass the organization l structure, procedures,
processes and resources, as well as activities necessary to ensure confidence that the API will
meet its intended specifications for quality and purity.
d) All quality related activities should be defined and documented. There should be a quality
unit(s) that is independent of production and that fulfils both quality assurance (QA) and quality
control (QC) responsibilities.
e) This can be in the form of separate QA and QC units or a single individual or group,
depending upon the size and structure of the organization.
f) All quality related activities should be recorded at the time they are performed. Any deviation
from established procedures should be documented.
1. Personnel Qualifications:
There should be an adequate number of personnel qualified by appropriate education, training
and/or experience to perform and supervise the manufacture of intermediates and APIs. The
responsibilities of all personnel engaged in the manufacture of intermediates and APIs should be specified
in writing. Training should be regularly conducted by qualified individuals and should cover, at minimum,
the particular operations that the employee performs and GMP as it relates to the employee's functions.
Records of training should be maintained. Training should be periodically assessed.
2. Personnel Hygiene:
Personnel should practice good sanitation and health habits. Personnel should wear clean clothing
suitable for the manufacturing activity with which they are involved and this clothing should be changed
when appropriate. Additional protective apparel, such as head, face, hand, and arm coverings, should be
worn when necessary, to protect intermediates and APIs from contamination. Personnel should avoid
direct contact with intermediates or APIs. Smoking, eating, drinking, chewing and the storage of food
should be restricted to certain designated areas separate from the manufacturing areas. Personnel suffering
from an infectious disease or having open lesions on the exposed surface of the body should not engage in
activities that could result in compromising the quality of APIs.
3. Consultants:
Consultants advising on the manufacture and control of intermediates or APIs should have
sufficient education, training, and experience, or any combination thereof, to advise on the subject for
which they are retained. Records should be maintained stating the name, address, qualifications, and type
of service provided by these consultants.
2. Utilities:
All utilities that could impact on product quality (e.g. steam, gases, compressed air, and heating,
ventilation and air conditioning) should be qualified and appropriately monitored and action
should be taken when limits are exceeded. Adequate ventilation, air filtration and exhaust
systems should be provided, where appropriate. These systems should be designed and
constructed to minimise risks of contamination and cross-contamination and should include
equipment for control of air pressure, microorganisms (if appropriate), dust, humidity, and
temperature, as appropriate to the stage of manufacture. If air is recirculated to production areas,
appropriate measures should be taken to control risks of contamination and cross-contamination.
Pipework should be located to avoid risks of contamination of the intermediate or API. Drains
should be of adequate size and should be provided with an air break or a suitable device to
prevent back-siphonage, when appropriate.
3. Water:
Water used in the manufacture of APIs should be demonstrated to be suitable for its intended use.
Where water used in the process is treated by the manufacturer to achieve a defined quality, the
treatment process should be validated and monitored with appropriate action limits. Where the
manufacturer of a non-sterile API either intends or claims that it is suitable for use in further
processing to produce a sterile drug (medicinal) product, water used in the final isolation and
purification steps should be monitored and controlled for total microbial counts, objectionable
organisms, and endotoxins.
Process Equipment:
c. A complete description of the methods and materials, including dilution of cleaning agents
used to clean equipment.
d. When appropriate, instructions for disassembling and reassembling each article of
equipment to ensure proper cleaning.
e. Instructions for the removal or obliteration of previous batch identification.
f. Instructions for the protection of clean equipment from contamination prior to use.
g. Inspection of equipment for cleanliness immediately before use, if practical.
h. Establishing the maximum time that may elapse between the completion of processing and
equipment cleaning, when appropriate.
3. Computerized Systems:
GMP related computerized systems should be validated. Commercially available software
that has been qualified does not require the same level f testing, Computerized systems
should have sufficient controls to prevent unauthorized access or changes to data. There
should be a record of any data change made, the previous entry, who made the change, and
when the change was made. Changes to the computerized system should be made according
to a change procedure and should be formally authorized, documented and tested. Records
should be kept of all changes, including modifications and enhancements made to the
hardware, software and any other critical component of the system.
1. Documentation System:
All documents related to the manufacture of intermediates or APIs should be prepared,
reviewed, approved and distributed according to written procedures. Such documents can be in
paper or electronic form. When entries are made in records, these should be made indelibly in
spaces provided for such entries, directly after performing the activities, and should identify
the person making the entry.
a) The name of the manufacturer, identity and quantity of each shipment of each batch of raw
materials, intermediates or labelling and packaging materials for API's; the name of the
supplier; the supplier's control number(s), if known, or other identification number; the
number allocated on receipt; and the date of receipt.
b) Records tracing the use of materials.
c) Documentation of the examination and review of API labelling and packaging materials for
conformity with established specifications.
To ensure uniformity from batch to batch, master production instructions for each intermediate
and API should be prepared, dated, and signed by one person and independently checked, dated,
and signed by a person in the quality unit(s).
Laboratory control records should include complete data derived from all including
examinations and assays, as follows:
a) A description of samples received for testing, including the material name or source, batch
number or other distinctive code, date sample was taken, and, where appropriate, the quantity
and date the sample was received for testing.
b) A statement of or reference to each test method used.
c) A statement of the weight or measure of sample used for each test as described by the method.
d) A complete record of all raw data generated during each test, in addition to graphs, charts, and
spectra from laboratory instrumentation, properly identified to show the specific material and
batch tested.
e) The signature of the person who performed each test and the date(s) the tests were Performed.
f) The date and signature of a second person showing that the original records have been
reviewed for accuracy, completeness, and compliance with established standards.
Validation:
Validation Policy:
The company's overall policy, intentions, and approach to validation, including the validation of
production processes, cleaning procedures, analytical methods, in process control test
procedures, computerized systems, and persons responsible for design, review, approval and
documentation of each validation phase, should be documented. The critical
parameters/attributes includes:
a) Defining the API in terms of its critical product attributes.
b) Identifying process parameters that could affect the critical quality attributes of the API
c) Determining the range for each critical process parameter expected to be used during
routine manufacturing and process control.

Need Of Sop:
SOPs detail the regularly recurring work processes that are to be conducted or followed
within an organization. They document the way activities are to be performed to facilitate
consistent conformance to technical and quality system requirements and to support data quality.
They may describe, for example, fundamental programmatic actions and technical actions such as
analytical processes, and processes for maintaining, calibrating, and using equipment. Sops are
intended to be specific to the organization or facility whose activities are described and assist
that organization to maintain their quality control and quality assurance processes and ensure
compliance with governmental regulations.
Benefits Of Sop:
1. To provide people with all the safety, health, environmental and operational information necessary
to perform a job properly.
2. To ensure that production operations are performed consistently to maintain quality control of
processes and products.
3. To ensure that processes continue uninterrupted and are completed on a prescribed schedule.
4. To ensure that no failures occur in manufacturing and other processes that would harm anyone in
the surrounding community,
5. To ensure that approved procedures are followed in compliance with company and government
regulations.
6. To serve as a training document for teaching users about the process for which the SOP was
written.
7. To serve as a checklist for co-workers who observe job performance to reinforce proper
performance.
8. To serve as an historical record of the how, why and when of steps in an existing process so there is
a factual basis for revising those steps when a process or equipment are changed.
SOPs shall be written in a concise, step by step, easy to read and follow format. The information
presented should be unambiguous and not complicated. The active voice and present verb tense
should be used. SOP shall be simple and short. Information should be conveyed clearly and explicitly
to remove any doubt as to what is required. Flow chart shall be used to illustrate the process being
described.
Sop Preparation:
The organization should have a procedure in place for determining what procedures or
processes need to be documented. Those SOPs should then be written by individuals
knowledgeable with the activity and the organization's internal structure. These individuals
are essentially subject-matter experts who actually perform the work or use the process. A
team approach can be followed for better results.
Management of Sop:
Organization shall have SOP on Preparation, approval, revision and control of standard Operating
Procedure for better control and management of SOPs. Generally, administrative aspects of the
SOP system such as distribution and filing are well managed. On the other hand, overall system
management, frequently characterized by the lack of a system owner, is generally poor. If a system
owner exists at all, his or her responsibilities are limited. Ideally a system owner.
Batch production records should be prepared for each intermediate and API and should
include complete information relating to the production and control of each batch. The batch
production record should be checked before issuance to assure that it is the correct version
and a legible accurate reproduction of the appropriate master production instruction. These
records should be numbered with a unique batch or identification number, dated and signed
when issued.
Documentation of completion of each significant step in the batch production records (batch
production and control records) should include:
Dates and, when appropriate, times.
Identity of major equipment (e.g., reactors, driers, mills, etc.) used.
Specific identification of each batch, including weights, measures, and batch numbers of raw
materials, intermediates, or any reprocessed materials used during manufacturing
Actual results recorded for critical process parameters.
Any sampling performed.
Signatures of the persons performing and directly supervising or checking each critical step in the
operation.
In-process and laboratory test results. | Actual yield at appropriate phases or times. Description of
packaging and label for intermediate or API. Representative label of API or intermediate if made
commercially available.
Any deviation noted, its evaluation, investigation conducted (if appropriate) or reference to that
investigation if stored separately.
Results of release testing.
Batch Production record is a written document of the batch that is prepared during the
pharmaceutical manufacturing process. It contains actual data of the batch manufacturing and whole
manufacturing process step by step. There are several stages of the pharmaceutical product
manufacturing process. All stages are included in the batch production record from issuance of the
raw material to the final packaging. Every batch has a separate, BPR having the batch history of
batch production. Documents and the proofs are attached in the BPR during the manufacturing
process.

16. CONCLUSION
Industrial training is very much essential for Pharmacy Students. It is also a great opportunity
to acquire practical knowledge. During my training period, in the industry I acquired lots of
experiences in Pharmaceutical Production and Production management. This will help me to clarify
my theory knowledge. I hope and pray that it will help me much in my future profession.
During our training period, we had seen the various instruments and apparatus in the industry.
The highly sophisticated instruments that work precisely must be operated with intense care for
optimum use. We could acquire a lot of information regarding the latest instruments and their
working procedures.
It was taught to us that, the CGMP guidelines are to be strictly followed in the industries in
each and every section. And the similar guideline was seen followed in MAXMED LIFESCIENCE
Pvt. Ltd., Rudarpur, Uttrakhand. It helped us to acquire knowledge on punctuality, regularity and
working environments in industries.
The friendly working environment in Maxmed lifescience Pvt. Ltd. will remain in our mind
in near future. Hence, we can say that our goal of attending the industrial tour is fulfilled. We
acknowledge the great help “Maxmmed lifescience Pvt. Ltd”.
