Calibration

Calibration of Recording System

All equipments/instruments that are used to carry out measurement are calibrated as per SOPs at regular intervals
The procedure, frequency and responsibility of calibration are defined in the SOP
Such equipments include control panels of Rapid Mixer Granulator, Fluid Bed Drier, Octagonal Blender, etc. and the instruments include HPLC, Spectrophotometer, Weighing Scales, Electronic Balances, Temperature Indicators/Controllers, pH meter etc

Validation

With a view to ensure that all instrument are appropriately calibrated, all the processing is reproducible and all the equipments perform consistently as per the desired parameters, validation data is generated and recorded. The process shall be deemed validated if the data describing its critical attributes meets all the pre-determined parameters.

SOME OF THE CRITICAL PARAMETERS ARE:
Sampling of components
Analytical testing
Process equipment
Equipment cleaning and calibration
In-process control
Packing parameters
Environmental conditions
Equipment are designed as per Design Qualification
Equipment are validated at the time of installation ( Installation Qualification )
Subsequently Operation Qualification and Performance Qualification
Such equipment are revalidated at a predetermined frequency even when there is no change to ensure that the process is fully under control at all times
Subsequently Operation Qualification and Performance Qualification
