To describe a procedure for obtaining the in-process and finished product samples for analysis.

1.0.            OBJECTIVE:
To describe procedure for sampling during manufacturing process for analysis to meets its predetermined specifications.
2.0.            SCOPE:
This procedure is applicable for collection and submitting the samples to QC department for analysis at company - location.  
3.0.            RESPONSIBILITY:
3.1.            QA Officer/ Executive shall be responsible for collecting the sample.
3.2.            QA Manager shall be accountable for the procedure.
4.0.            PROCEDURE:
4.1.            GENERAL :
4.1.1.      Production personnel shall intimate to QA for sampling through Test Request after completion of the process steps.
4.1.2.      QA personnel shall sample the product as per sampling plan as define in step no. 4.5.
4.2.            PERSONNEL HYGIENE :
4.2.1.      Personnel should have wear complete over gowning, latex hand gloves, breathing air system and safety specs prior to sampling.
4.2.2.      Sanitize hands with 70% IPA.
4.3.            SAMPLING TOOL :
4.3.1.      Sampling tool i.e. sampling rod, spatula, and pipette should be clean prior sampling.
4.4.            LABELING :
4.4.1.      After sampling QA will affix ‘Under Test label’ on the container(s) / Vessel and make necessary entry in the register and then send the sample in proper manner with Test Request and register to QC laboratory for analysis of the sample.
4.5.            SAMPLING PLAN :
Tablet
Ointment / Cream / Gel
Stage
Sample Qty.
Stage
Sample Qty.
Granulation
10 g
Mixing
Eq. about 4 units qty.
Compression
160 tab*
Filling
10 units**
Coating
50 tab*
* Collect 25 units from LHS & RHS during processing of batch. And after completion of processing make composite sample from the collected units during processing.
** Sampled from each container and if containers more than 10, then apply            √ n + 1    sampling plan.
4.6.            TABLET MANUFACTURING :
4.6.1.      GRANULATION :
4.6.1.1.On sampling intimation through ‘Test Request’ from production, QA will sampled the granules from FBP/ Blender through sampling rod, after completion of final mixing / lubrication stage.
4.6.1.2.After sampling keep the granules in to the sampling bag with “SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS” label on it.
4.6.1.3.After sampling Affix ‘under Test’ label on the equipment contained granules.
4.6.1.4.Then he / she will make proper entry in to the sample register and send the sample to QC laboratory in proper manner.
4.6.1.5.This is Bulk sample.
4.6.2.      COMPRESSION :
4.6.2.1.During running of compression machine, collect 25 tablets each of LHS & RHS of compression machine.
4.6.2.2.After Completion of the Compression process make composite sample (50tablets) from the collected tablets.
4.6.2.3.Keep the samples in to the poly bag with “SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS” label on it.
4.6.2.4.Then affix ‘Under Test’ label on the container(s).
4.6.2.5.Make appropriate entry in to the sample register and then send the sample to QC Laboratory.
4.6.2.6.This is Final sample if the final product is in Uncoated form (Finished Product).
4.6.2.7.This is Intermediate sample if the final product is in coated form.
4.6.3.      COATING :
4.6.3.1.On sampling intimation from production through ‘Test Request’, collect randomly 50 tablets for each drum / lot in such a way so as to ensure that sampled quantity represents the entire coating lot.
4.6.3.2.Check the uniformity of coating and shade variation.
4.6.3.3.Keep the samples in to the poly bag with “SAMPLE FOR ANALYSIS” label on it.
4.6.3.4.Then make appropriate entry in to the sample register and send the sample to QC laboratory.
4.6.3.5.This is Final sample (Finished Product).
