SOP-001 / SOP v2.0
Document control and local adoption
Every SOP, monograph, master record and form used in the laboratory.
Procedure
- The responsible pharmacist assigns a document owner, author and independent reviewer. Downloading from this site is not local approval.
- Record the identifier, version, source, access date and applicable requirements. Check references, units and unresolved monograph issues.
- Complete F-001 with the local implementation: facility, equipment, responsibilities, tests and acceptance limits. Justify every departure from the template.
- Approve with signatures and an effective date before use. Train staff and document competency assessment.
- Provide one controlled active version at the workstation. Withdraw obsolete copies while retaining historical batch records.
- 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.
