GMP Training – GMP for Warehouse by www.gmpsop.com

The following goods generally do not appear on any production bill of materials,
and have a simplified check and release. Often, they do not have an in-house lot
number applied, but this varies from company to company.

non-production consumables (non-GMP material), e.g. toilet paper, stationery

production materials consumed in processing, e.g. filters, lubricants

laboratory reagents, e.g. buffers, chemicals

The last two items above will usually have their own QC approval processes.

The following goods will always appear on any production or packaging bill of
materials. They are each governed by GMP quality control and release
procedures. All these goods will be issued with unique lot numbers.

manufacturing starting materials and chemicals

packaging components, e.g. blister pack film, bottles, caps, vials, seals

printed matter, e.g. labels, cartons, inserts/leaflets, pre-printed tubes

GOOD TO KNOW - PROCEDURES FOR RECEIVING MATERIALS

When starting materials first arrive at the facility, they fall under the control
of the warehouse. Different types of materials can be treated in a number of
different ways. For example, materials consumed in production need to be
registered and checked for approved supplier and grade (pharmaceutical or

medical), but may or may not need a unique identifying number. Ensure that
you know your Standard Operating Procedures.

In the case of starting chemicals used in product formulation, they will always
need to be checked to see that they;

arrived from an approved supplier

are not damaged

are correctly labeled and identified with the supplier's lot number for
traceability purposes
