which must have the same spectral characteristics. Where double-beam-recording instruments are used, the solvent cell is placed in the reference beam.
Control of wavelengths
The wavelength scale is verified using the absorption maxima of holmium perchlorate solution, the line of hydrogen or deuterium discharge lamp or the lines of mercury vapor. The permitted tolerance is ±1 nm for the range 200 nm to 400 nm and ±3 nm for 400 nm to 600 nm.
Control of absorbance
The absorbance should be checked using suitable filters or a solution of potassium dichromate UV at wavelengths indicated below:
Wavelength A (1%, 1cm) Limits
235.0 nm 124.5 122.9 – 126.2
257.0 nm 144.0 142.8 – 145.7
313.0 nm 48.6 47.0 – 50.3
350.0 nm 106.6 105.6 – 108.2
This provides the exact values with permitted limits of the specific absorbance for each wavelength. The tolerance for the absorbance is ± 0.01. Solutions of potassium dichromate UV should be dried at 130 o C to constant weight and then, used.
Reference solution
For the control of absorbance at wavelengths of 235 nm, 257 nm, 313 nm, and 350 nm, dissolve 57.0 – 63.0 mg of potassium dichromate UV in 0.005M sulphuric acid solution and dilute to 1000 ml with the same acid. For measurement of absorbance dissolve 57.0 – 63.0 mg of potassium dichromate UV in 0.005M sulphuric acid solution and dilute to 100 ml with the same acid.
Limit of stray light
Stray light can be detected at a given wavelength with suitable filters or solution. For example, the absorbance of a 1.2% solution of potassium chloride at about 200 nm in a 1 cm cell should be greater than 2.0 against water used as reference liquid. Measure the absorbance of the above solution at 198.0, 199.0, 200.0, 201.0, 202.0 nm using water as blank.

Check the absorbance of hexane using water as a blank. Record the spectrum of a 0.02% solution of toluene in hexane in the range of 260 nm to 420 nm. Use hexane only when its transmittance is less than 97%.
Acceptance criteria
Absorbance should be greater than 2.0.

WHO Guidelines for Calibration
In pharmaceutical industries applications, performance and accuracy of instrumentation devices are governed by Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs). Verification of proper process instrumentation operation is an important factor for finished product in Quality Assurance (QA) programs. In GMP processes, outside of validated parameters weighing additions, sterilization temperatures, compounding pressures, and other factors are most likely not recoverable and costly to the business. Mistakenly released products within an established QA program could be detrimental to patients’ health and manufacturers’ reputation, including legal implications
23
. Proper operation of process systems and laboratory equipment in the pharmaceutical environment is critical for product quality, manufacturing cost, and research development. Processes controlled by instrumentation outside of defined tolerances, presumably irreversible, will lead to distraction of affected materials and rise of production costs. Incorrect data of laboratory instrumentation and measurements could delay development and release of new products resulting in potential losses of the market share. The Product Master File and Batch Records contain information concerning weighing specifications, sterilization requirements, compounding parameters, and other details of scientifically developed process tolerances. Production recipes include sequential order of all process activities and permitted fluctuations. Examples of windows for validated parameters critical in determination of final pharmaceutical product quality are maximum and minimum temperatures for sterilization, weights of each chemical addition, mixing time, and feeding rates
20
. In research and development applications precision of data is one of the requirements which is associated with current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLPs).

These recipes include sequential order of all process activities and permitted fluctuations. Examples of windows for validated parameters critical in determination of final pharmaceutical product quality are maximum and minimum temperatures for sterilization, weights of each chemical addition, mixing time, and feeding rates
20
. In research and development applications precision of data is one of the requirements which is associated with current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLPs). Calibration record keeping and maintenance of standards and instruments should be good and these are necessary for expected reliability of experimental outcomes. Introductions of new drugs to the market could be affected by failures of upholding metrology standards in science laboratories. Additions of chemical components, process temperatures, pressures, flows, etc. should be measured accurately and recorded. According to the cGMP the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for validated pharmaceutical processes are must and the SOPs should cover maximum allowed fluctuations for specified parameters. Products made outside of critical control defined specifications require sanctions of product “on hold” for investigation. An almost certain outcome from investigations will result in destruction or rework of manufactured material. Variations allowed in processes need to agree with the equipment and instrumentation capabilities. In validated processes, the tests for qualification and procedures for instruments will give the necessary assurance of accurate process executions. For the system qualification and validation, verification of the instrument’s compliance to the process requirements is an important phase. Selection processes used for calibration procedures, calibration frequencies, and certification methods for instruments, sensors, control loops, and systems depend on applications, accuracies, and characteristics of instruments stability. Data of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes and laboratory testing depend on the instrumentation accuracy. Product quality compliance requires calibration standard certification as per the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Calibration procedures require the formats of records to establish documentation layout and flow designed to assure traceability of collected data. Verification of performance of instrument measuring devices consists of two parts–
Calibration certification, and
Calibration check
The calibration certification summarizes a methodical process defined by a written and approved procedure developed for a range of measurements.
A calibration check is a simplified confirmation of the instrument, loop, or device performance. Usually calibration checks are represented by one or two test measurements.
A successfully executed calibration procedure confirms that manufacturing processes and laboratory experiments are not affected by the tested instrument within the last calibration time interval. Calibration failure in the “as found” data calls for an investigation of the product produced within the last calibration period. In the laboratory environment, all tested lots would be affected by an instrument calibration failure. Strict procedures are required for
https://t.me/med1917
notification of calibration failures. The instruments, whose tolerances are out of standard, should be adjusted and controlled by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Each SOP should have the instructions for adjustments as per the reference in the published literature. For investigation, some instruments may require additional testing and cannot be adjusted or repaired individually. The tests required for investigation may be required to determine a magnitude of losses or for application/design/ replacement of the instrument.
An appropriate and established method of calibration, and functional tests, and instrumentation tolerances are very important for product development, quality assurance programs, and production. This incurs some costs.
Management of calibration program
A modern pharmaceutical facility requires various instruments installed in operations, utilities, laboratories, and development areas. All these instruments must properly work and their accuracies should be maintained by a Calibration Program. Functions of a Calibration Program are very much essential for Preventive Maintenance and Quality Assurance activities
24
. For review and approval of Preventive Maintenance activities pre and post calibration data are required. For assurance of reliability of the system, there should be appropriate method for Pre-Calibration, Preventive Maintenance work, and PostCalibration activities because Calibration and Preventive Maintenance cannot be done independently. In many cases, Preventive Maintenance can disturb instrumentation and during calibration work unfortunate discoveries may interfere with the quality investigations, production loss, and poor business reviews. Interfacing of Calibration and Preventive Maintenance work requires maintenance, engineering, and quality reviews. For assurance of consistent productions, experiments and repeatability, Preventive Maintenance and Calibration works for all systems and devices require initial and periodic evaluations. The method of reviewing of these results should be clearly mentioned in the specific procedures. For example, preventive maintenance work related to control valves, removal, and reinstallation of instruments necessitate coordination with calibration activities. Bearing greasing, belts replacements, and other mechanical work may not be related to the calibration program. Thus, an established calibration program deals with the following activities:
Documentation records of instruments to trace and apply according to the requirements of the industry standards of metrology.
Continuous use of approved calibration SOPs. On the basis of the results of Preventative Maintenance and Quality Assurance, reviews and recommendations should be done for modifications of calibration SOPs. Development of new SOPs.
Notification of calibration failures to related departments. Calibration failures are to be investigated and assistance to be provided to the affected departments by providing the technical expertise and improvements.

Descriptions of internal and external configuration associated with the functions are very important for understanding the scope of calibration work.
According to GMP, each pharmaceutical company should identify the qualification and validation work required to prove that the critical aspects of their particular operation are controlled.
The key elements of a qualification and validation programme of a company should be clearly defined and documented in a validation master plan. Qualification and validation should establish and provide documentary evidence that:
The premise should support the utilities, equipment and processes those have been designed according to the requirements for GMP (design qualification or DQ);
The premise should support the utilities and equipment those have been built and installed in compliance with their design specifications (installation qualification or IQ);
The premise should support the utilities and equipment that operate according to their design specifications (operational qualification or OQ);
The specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality characteristics (process validation or PV, also called performance qualification or PQ).
The GMP shall be conducted as per the pre-defined protocols. A written report that summarizes the recorded result and conclusions shall be prepared, documented and maintained. Periodic validation should be conducted to ensure that they remain capable of achieving the intended results. Critical process should be validated, prospectively or retrospectively. When any new master formula or method of preparation is adopted, steps should be taken to demonstrate its suitability for routine processing. Significant changes to the manufacture, processes, including any change in equipment or materials that may influence product quality and/or the reproducibility of the process; hence, these shall be validated.
Any aspect of operation, including significant alterations to the premises, facilities, equipment or processes, may affect the quality of the product, directly or indirectly, should be qualified and validated. Qualification and validation should not be considered as ratification exercises. An ongoing programme should follow their first implementation and should be based on an annual review. In the relevant documentation of the company such as the quality manual or validation master plan, it should be written that the validation program shall be continued and maintained. The responsibility for performing the validation should
https://t.me/med1917
be clearly defined. Validation studies are essential part of GMP and should be performed according to the predefined and approved protocols. A summarized written report on the results obtained along with the conclusions should be prepared and stored.
Processes and procedures should be established based on the results of the validation, performed. Particular attention should be paid to the validation of analytical test methods, automated systems, and cleaning procedures.
Validation of Equipments
Equipments must be installed, operated, and maintained as per the design specifications. Quality Assurance is responsible for ensuring that all equipment used to test product is validated. Quality Assurance is responsible for ensuring that the GMP aspects of the equipment validation programme are in accordance with relevant procedures and those critical parameters and report conclusions are supported. Equipment places itself in-between raw material and finished product. The equipments must be installed, operated and maintained as per the specification designed. Therefore, installation qualification (IQ), operational qualification (OQ), performance qualification (PQ) of equipment used in manufacture of drugs is very important activity of validation program. A manufacturer should work in such a way that the product being manufactured and used by the end user is safe. This can be made successful by keeping all records related to the process and testing all the inputs throughout including equipment and intermediate/product. Some companies are large enough to perform each validation work by separate person or department. In some companies same person does all the functions related to validation. Fig 3.2 shows the functions of validation work.

Fig. 3.3 Equipments used in granulation section or department
Several attempts have been made throughout the pharmaceutical industries to establish a standard for testing the equipment challenge conditions. Before determining which test condition to be used, it is necessary to know the normal operating conditions for that particular equipment from the equipment operator. Then, select an appropriate challenge condition from the following list. The purpose is to gain the confidence that the equipment is operating under a state of control.
Minimum/maximum operating ranges: This is applicable to utilities, motor speeds, temperature, time, air pressure, vacuum, water pressure, steam pressure, flow rates, weights, and volumes, etc.
Minimum/maximum load evaluations: This is applicable to mixers, blenders, so on. Each company should have standards indicating whether the limits are exceeded or not, good results will not be achieved. Challenge testing should go outside these limits.
The most appropriate challenge condition: These should be considered meticulously; if it is not accurately described it can be interpreted differently.
Effective ranges of critical parameters: The problem lies with the word ‘critical’. If different people are asked about the word ‘critical’, different answers would be given.
Proven acceptable range (PAR) and range of experience: This is not applicable for a new piece of equipment. The problem with these is that the ranges may not necessarily be the minimum and maximum ranges.
The intended range of use: It is a frequently used condition. The limitation is that the ranges may not necessarily be the minimum and maximum ranges.
Worst case: This is the one tested the most. It is similar to minimum/maximum load evaluations and minimum/maximum ranges. Edge of failure: This is not applicable to equipment because something would have to be made to fail to obtain the edge of failure; although it could be applied to a tablet. The point at which the tablet is destroyed is just beyond the edge of failure. Therefore, a slight back-off would be its edge of failure.

It is necessary to decide an acceptable number of times a step of process needs to be repeated successfully to declare that the operation is validated – 10, 100, or 1000. The number of repetition of a step of the process during qualification should be based on statistical significance. There is a conventional perception about validation that once is a chance, twice is nice, and third is validation. Sometimes, validation is performed for more than three times (three trials). Three is considered a minimum because the experimental design may state that a higher level of confidence may be required to prove the process. The number of times or duration of trials used in validation is also intended to represent a typical production lot size.
Validation of Granulation Equipment (V-SHELL BLENDER)
Granulation section or department contains the following equipment:
As an example of validation: validation of a V-shell blender is described here. The blender is driven by a motor and it operates almost at a fixed speed. With the rotation of the blender, two inclined cylinders intermesh their flows, causes a radial blending action. In some blenders an intensifier bar is attached to the axis of the blender. Thus, when it rotates, the solid particles are suspended so that a spray of liquid can uniformly coat the particles. To achieve liquid-solid blending, there are three requirements:
Liquid and solids are finely divided,
The particles are suspended in space, and
These are kept in continual motion.
The blender can be used in tablet formulation to make the powder more compressible to produce tablets that do not break during handling.
Installation Qualification (IQ)
The IQ evaluation creates confidence that the equipment is properly installed. The installation must meet the specified guidelines set by the manufacturer including the change in design at installation. The supporting electrical utilities must meet all electrical codes. The elements of a V-shell blender are shown in Fig 3.4 below.
