6.0 PROCEDURE
6.1 Quality Control Department shall prepare the STP for Raw Material, Bulk product, Intermediate
Product (uncoated), Intermediate Product (Coated, Filled Capsules, Sachet, Syrup), Finished product as
Per Attachment-I, II, III, IV and V.
- The STP shall be prepared by using reference pharmacopoeia or other Reference source.
6.3 Each STP shall have a unique number that is given below:-
STP/RM/000 (For Raw material)
STP/BL/T/000 (For Bulk Product)
STP/IM/T/000 (For Intermediate Product of Uncoated Tablets)
STP/SF/T/000 (For Intermediate Product of Coated Tablets, Capsules, Sachet, Liquid)
STP/FP/T/000 (For Finished Product)
Ex.- STP/FP/T/000, where STP/ for Standard testing procedure, FP/ for Finished products, T/ for
Tablets and the 000 for serial number. In case of Syrup, Sachet and Capsules T/ will be replace by C/
for Capsules, ST/ for Sachet and S/ for Syrup.
6.4 Once a number is allocated to any STP the same number shall not be repeated to any other STP.
6.5 All the STP shall be approved and controlled by Quality Assurance Department.
6.6 All the STP shall be revised whenever there is any change in pharmacopoeia or relevant Sources.
6.7 Any change in STP shall be done through change control procedure.
