Production and quality control

Production must follow documented procedures, and the finished product must pass controls before release.

Content reviewed on

Manufacturing orders

Documentation for each batch produced: formula, quantities, process parameters, and staff involved.

In-process control

Intermediate checks during production to catch deviations before they affect the final product.

Finished product release

Laboratory testing of the finished product and a formal decision to release or reject the batch.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • Manufacturing order documented per batch
  • In-process controls defined and logged
  • Finished product specifications documented
  • Release or rejection record for each batch
