5.4.4 ‘Non – recoverable’ tags shall be signed by Production Officer / Executive at the time of start and IPQA Officer/ Executive shall sign it after completion of the batch.

5.5 For Primary Packing

5.5.1 Check the Rh, temperature and pressure differential of that particular room in which activity has to start.

5.5.2 Machine status for cleanliness for each machine like Blister packing machine, Strip packing machine etc.

5.5.3 In case a different product is to be started, make sure that the machine change over is completed and the machine is clean and no previous product leftover.

5.5.4 Check the area cleanliness, belt and conveyor cleanliness.

5.5.5 Ensure that no trace of any material of the previous product is present in the area and machine parts.

5.5.6 Ensure the following details of the batch to be packed:

Batch Number
Manufacturing Date
Expiry Date
CST recoverable (If applicable)
Registration Number (If applicable) and
Retail Price (If applicable)

5.5.7 The product to be started is mentioned on the display board along with the batch size, Pkg. Qty., and other details as per Point No. 5.5.6

5.5.8 Approved primary packaging components are present.

5.5.9 Specimen of label / Foil / Carton are available and they are duly signed by Production Officer / Executive with details as per point No. 5.5.6.
