SOP for Procedure for Intimation to QC Department about Retest of Raw Materials

OBJECTIVE 
To lay down a procedure for Intimation to the Quality control department about the retest date of raw materials. 

SCOPE 
This procedure applies to the Warehouse Department Formulation division. 

RESPONSIBILITY 
  • Raw material warehouse personnel to follow the procedure. 
  • The Quality Control Chemist is responsible for the sampling of the Re-Test materials. 
  • Warehouse in charge and Production In-Charge to ensure compliance. 

DEFINITION 
Re-test date of raw material is the month one year from the period after the initial Q.C. release date. These are the dates when the raw materials have to be re-analyzed to establish continued compliance with specifications.


PROCEDURE 
  • As soon as the Q.C. raw material passing slip (GRN) comes to the warehouse, the Warehouse in charge shall check for the retest date given on the goods receipt note. 
  • In the stock register, against that material whose Q.C. passing slip (GRN) was assigned, the Warehouse in charge shall enter the re-test date in the appropriate column. 


  • In a separate book, the warehouse in charge shall write down the re-test dates in sequence, listing materials applicable to that month against it. So every month at a glance the Warehouse in charge will easily know in advance the re-test dates. 
  • At least two weeks in advance, the Warehouse in charge shall make a sample drawing request to inform the Q.C. department about materials due for re-tests.
