SOP-001 / SOP v2.0

Document control and local adoption

Every SOP, monograph, master record and form used in the laboratory.

Procedure

  1. The responsible pharmacist assigns a document owner, author and independent reviewer. Downloading from this site is not local approval.
  2. Record the identifier, version, source, access date and applicable requirements. Check references, units and unresolved monograph issues.
  3. Complete F-001 with the local implementation: facility, equipment, responsibilities, tests and acceptance limits. Justify every departure from the template.
  4. Approve with signatures and an effective date before use. Train staff and document competency assessment.
  5. Provide one controlled active version at the workstation. Withdraw obsolete copies while retaining historical batch records.
  6. Set a review date and trigger an unscheduled review after source, material, equipment or incident changes. Assess affected batches.

Edition-specific detail

Each document carries a unique ID, revision, effective date, author, reviewer and approver. Activate a new version after withdrawing obsolete printed copies and training affected users. Annual system review is this template’s chosen local policy; a critical change or incident triggers earlier review.

Stop criterion

Without local approval, training or resolution of critical ambiguity: study use only.
