 6.0 Procedure 
 
 6.1 Process Overview 
 
 6.1.1 This procedure defines different levels of cleaning (i.e. major, reduced major,
 minor) for various operations areas (area groups). This procedure provides a
 cleaning decision tool (CDT) specific to each area group, to determine the level
 
 of cleaning required based on information about the product used on the
 
 equipment before cleaning (previous SKU) and the product scheduled for the
 equipment after cleaning (next SKU). The CDT for each area is based on
 
 cleaning requirements associated with product characteristics of the previous
 and next SKU (i.e. allergen category, whether the product is classified as a drug
 
 or not, product certifications). 
 
 During normal operation, follow the steps below to complete cleaning:
6.1.2 6.1.2.1 Production collects information about the previous SKU and the next

 SKU. This information is available in the PDT for each product.
 
 6.1.2.2. Production completes the CDT applicable to the area group associated
 
 with the area subject to cleaning. Redzone initiates a CDT data sheet
 automatically when a “cleaning run” starts for the subject location.
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 14 | Page 5 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 6.1.2.3. Production will complete the level of cleaning determined by the CDT.
 Redzone automatically initiates the appropriate cleaning data sheet
 
 when CDT data sheets are completed. 
 
 6.1.2.4 Quality completes the visual inspection, ATP testing, and allergen
 
 testing as applicable and based on the result of the CDT. Redzone
 
 automatically initiates the appropriate inspection forms when the
 production cleaning data sheet is completed. 
 
 6.2 Documentation 
 
 6.2.1 Redzone data sheets are available to control the entire process. Production must
 
 initiate a “cleaning run” to start the process in the subject location. After the run
 starts, the CDT data sheets automatically initiate. As production completes the
 
 CDT data sheets, Redzone initiates additional data sheets as necessary,
 including the data sheets to document cleaning and inspection. After all data
 
 sheets are complete and the cleaning run ends, Quality will provide a final sign-
 
 off of the cleaning run. Redzone provides tools to review all completed runs.
 This tool allows for the review of both the previous SKU and the next SKU
 
 around the cleaning run and serves as a log for production and cleaning for that
 location. 
 
 62.2 The forms provided with this procedure give detailed content of the CDT for
 each defined area group and provide detailed content for cleaning of various
 
 areas. The forms provided also serve as a backup documentation option if the
 
 Redzone data sheets are not available for use. Use Redzone data sheets if
 available. When Redzone data sheets are not available, use the associated forms
 
 and store copies of the forms with both the previous SKU and next SKU batch
 records.

 Equipment 
 
 6.3.1 This procedure provides a CDT as a form, specific for each area group. Use the
 applicable tool to determine the level of cleaning required. 
 
 6.4 Cleaning Levels 
 
 6.4.1 Major 
 
 6.4.1.1. Forms B-111-F3, B-111-F4, and B-111-F5 define steps required for a
 major clean for each specific area. 
 
 6.4.1.2 Major cleans are required when the CDT for the area determines that a
 major clean is required. 
 
 6.4.1.3 A major clean is required after maintenance activities that introduce
 dust, debris, or other materials that may affect the safety or purity of a
 
 product or production material. 
 
 6.4.1.4 A major clean is required after unplanned incidents that could
 contaminate drains. Examples include backflow of drains, plumbing
 
 leaks, roof leaks. 
 
 6.4.1.5 A major clean is required on equipment brought to the cleaning area
 
 prior to the return of that equipment to a production room.
 
 6.4.2 Reduced Major 
 
 6.4.2.1 Form B-111-F4 defines the steps requires for a reduced major clean
 
 6.4.2.2 Reduced major cleans are required when the CDT for the area
 
 determines that a reduced major clean is required. 
 
 6.4.3. Minor 
 
 6.4.3.1 Forms B-111-F3, B-111-F4, and B-111-F5 define the steps required
 
 for a minor clean. 
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111_ | 14 | Page 7 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 6.4.3.2 Minor cleans are required when the CDT for the area determines that a
 
 minor clean is required. 
 
 6.4.3.3. A minor clean is required after minor maintenance activities that are
 not likely to introduce dust, debris, or other materials that may affect
 
 the safety or purity of a product or production material.
 
 6.4.4 Sanitization 
 
 6.4.4.1 Form B-111-F6 defines the steps required for sanitization.
 
 6.4.4.2 After a cleaning operation is complete (major, reduced major, minor),
 
 a sanitization step is the last step of the process. 
 
 6.4.4.3 Sanitization is required prior to startup of manufacturing if the
 
 room/equipment remains idle for more than 36 hours. 
 
 6.4.4.4 Sanitization is required after minor maintenance activities.
 
 6.5 Cleaning Requirements based on Product Characteristics 
 
 6.5.1 The level of cleaning required depends on the properties of the previous SKU
 manufactured before the cleaning and the properties of the next SKU scheduled
 
 for manufacturing after the cleaning. The sections that follow define how the
 product characteristics of these SKUs determine the cleaning level required.
 
 Other parameters determine cleaning levels defined here. 
 
 6.5.2 General Requirements 
 
 6.5.2.1 A major clean with allergen testing is required if the previous SKU is
 
 not known. 
 
 6.5.2.2 A major clean is required if the next scheduled SKU is not known.
 
 6.5.2.3. A major clean is required at least every 10 days during a campaign of
 
 product that qualifies for minor or reduced major cleaning. Specific
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 | 14 | Page 8 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 products may require more frequent major cleans, or may be capable
 
 of supporting a longer timeframe between major cleans. The product
 
 batch record may override this timeframe. If the batch record does not
 specify a frequency for major cleans during a campaign, then the
 
 timeframe associated with this procedure applies. 
 
 6.5.3 Same SKU 
 
 6.5.3.1 A minor clean is required when the previous SKU and the next SKU
 are the same. As a special case, treat two different SKUs as the same
 
 SKU if all ingredients in the previous SKU are also present in the next
 
 SKU. 
 
 6.5.4 Drug Product 
 
 6.5.4.1 The same SKU rule applies to drug products. 
 
 6.5.4.2 Perform a major clean before and after the manufacturing of each drug
 
 product batch. 
 
 Note: For drug product manufacturing, a cleaning validation is required to
 
 assess that the removal of that product is complete and that subsequent
 products will have levels of actives below the maximum acceptable
 
 carryover limits (MACO). Prior to the completion of the cleaning
 
 validation, perform appropriate analytical testing before releasing the
 equipment for other manufacturing use. 
 
 6.5.5 Allergen 
 
 6.5.5.1 The same SKU rule applies to allergen products. 
 
 6.5.5.2 Perform a major clean, followed by allergen testing verification, after
 each batch of product containing an allergen. 
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111_ | 14 | Page 9 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 6.5.5.3 If the previous SKU and the next SKU are both allergens, a reduced
 major clean is acceptable as long as the previous SKU does not contain
 
 any allergen classes (i.e. dairy, soy, etc.) that is not also in the next
 SKU. 
 
 6.5.5.4 Ifamajor clean is required, allergen testing is also required.
 
 6.5.6 Probiotic 
 
 6.5.6.1 The same SKU rule applies to probiotic products. 
 
 6.5.6.2 Perform a major clean after each batch of product containing a
 
 probiotic. 
 
 6.5.7 Product Certifications 
 
 6.5.7.1. The same SKU rule applies to Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified
 
 Organic, Kosher, Halal and Gluten-Free products. 
 
 6.5.7.2 Always perform a major clean before manufacturing a product with
 
 one of these certifications. 
 
 6.5.8 Product Type 
 
 6.5.8.1 Ton Labs assigns each product a product type during the onboarding
 process for the product. The product type is based on the definitions
 
 below: 
 
 6.5.8.1.1 Type 1 — includes dietary supplement products, cosmetic
 
 products, or pet products that are not allergens and contain
 no probiotics. Type 1 products do not contain components
 
 with strong odors, colors, or flavors. 
 
 6.5.8.1.2 Type 2 — includes dietary supplement products cosmetic
 
 products, or pet products, products that are certified

 organic, kosher, halal, gluten-free, contain allergens, and/or
 
 contain probiotics. Type 2 products include products that do
 
 not contain these characteristics, but do contain components
 with strong odors, colors or flavors, making them difficult
 
 to clean. 
 
 6.5.8.1.3. Type 3 — drug products. 
 
 6.5.8.2 The table below defines cleaning from a previous SKU to the next
 
 SKU based on the assigned product type.

 6.6 Area Groups 
 
 6.6.1 Some areas and equipment accommodate all three cleaning types, while other
 areas do not. Area groups as defined below have similar functions and/or
 cleaning processes. 
 
 Area Group Description 
 This group defines different cleaning processes for major and minor cleans. This group
 does not define reduced major cleans. The CDT for this group is simple, requiring a major
 clean if the SKU processed prior to cleaning is not the same SKU processed after the
 cleaning. This group applies to manufacturing areas not defined in another are group. This
 
 is the default area group and includes areas like: 
 e Powder Blending e Tableting 
 
 e Liquid Blending e Coating 
 e Encapsulation e Liquid Packaging 
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 | 14 | Page 11 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 This group defines different cleaning processes for major cleans, reduced major cleans,
 7 and minor cleans. The CDT for this group includes additional decision steps when
 compared to area group 1, to accommodate the three cleaning options. The area group
 includes the following areas: 
 
 e Powder Packaging e Blister Packaging 
 e Solid Dose Packaging e Pouch Packaging 
 This group defines a single cleaning process. There are no direct product contact points in
 this area group. There is no CDT for this area group. The same cleaning process applies
 3 when changing batches processed in this area. This area group includes the following
 
 areas: 
 e Flexible Packaging 
 This group defines different cleaning processes for major and minor cleans. The CDT for
 this area is identical to area group 1, but a different cleaning process applies to this area.
 4 This group does not define reduced major cleans. This area group includes the following
 areas: 
 e Gummy Manufacturing 
 
 6.7 —Re-Cleaning 
 
 6.7.1 Re-cleaning is required under the following conditions: 
 
 6.7.1.1 Cleaning activity does not pass a visual inspection 
 
 6.7.1.2 Cleaning activity does not pass an ATP swab test 
 
 6.7.1.3 Cleaning activity does not pass an allergen test 
 
 6.7.2. Document a re-cleaning by issuing the appropriate Redzone data sheet or on
 
 applicable paper forms. 
 
 6.7.3 Repeat the inspection that failed (i.e. visual inspection, ATP testing, or allergen
 
 testing) after re-cleaning. 
 
 6.8 Post-Maintenance Cleaning 
 
 6.8.1 Quality and Operations will determine the level of cleaning required after
 maintenance activities conducted during a production run. 
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 | 14 | Page 12 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 6.8.1.1 Select major clean with sanitization after maintenance activities that
 introduce dust, debris, or other materials that may affect the safety or
 
 purity of a product or production materials. 
 
 6.8.1.2 Select a minor clean with sanitization after maintenance activities that
 
 are not likely to impact product contact surfaces. 
 
 6.8.1.3. Sanitization. 
 
 6.8.2 Document cleaning in Redzone on the applicable data sheet or on the
 
 appropriate paper forms if Redzone is not available. 
 
 6.9 QC Cleaning Inspection 
 
 6.9.1 Form B-111-F6 Sanitization and Cleaning Approval defines steps required for a
 QC inspection. 
 
 6.9.2 Complete a QC inspection after every sanitization is completed.
 
 6.9.3. Complete ATP swab testing during visual inspection per SOP D-116 ATP
 
 Testing for Production Equipment. 
 
 6.9.4 Complete allergen swab testing if the CDT indicates that allergen testing is
 
 required. Conduct allergen testing per SOP D-111 Allergen Testing for
 
 Production Equipment. 
 
 6.9.5 Swabbing is not required after a re-sanitization if previous swabbing results
 
 pass. 
 
 6.10 Hoses 
 
 6.10.1 All production hoses will be cleaned, sanitized, and stored so that they will not
 
 become contaminated. 
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 | 14 | Page 13 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 6.10.2 Production hoses should be stored in or as close as possible to the production
 
 room they are used in and hung in such a manner as to allow all water to freely
 
 drain. Water or liquids are not to pool inside the stored production hose.
 
 6.10.3 While the production hose is stored, a breathable, durable, and sanitary hose
 
 cover will be placed over each open end of the hose. 
 
 6.10.4 The hose cover should have an elastic opening which will allow for a snug fit
 
 over the hose end. Selection of the size hose cover will depend on the size of the
 hose and should fit snuggly over the end of the production hose and/or hose
 
 adapter. 
 
 6.10.5 Each hose cover will be disposed of after use. 
 
 6.11 Mobile Equipment 
 
 6.11.1 Any product contact equipment that is not returned to a production room must
 be covered and stored in a designated equipment storage area, wrapped and
 
 labeled indicating that it will need a minor clean if it is returned to production.
 Equipment that is not used for product contact (i.e. vacuums, dust filters) can be
 
 stored in the equipment storage area without being covered, but is not
 
 recommended. 
 
 6.11.2 Equipment that is covered should be loosely covered after it is completely dry
 
 so as not to harbor water on equipment surfaces and have an equipment status
 sign indicating the current state of clean. 
 
 6.12 Redzone Specific Details 
 
 6.12.1 Production must initiate a run in the location being cleaned as follows:
 
 6.12.1.1 Start a “cleaning” product to document initial cleaning. When a
 cleaning product run starts, all necessary data sheets will start
 
 automatically. 
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 14 | Page 14 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 6.12.1.2 Start a “cleaning continuation” product if the cleaning spans across
 
 sifts or into the next day. This product does not start any data sheets.
 
 Finish data sheets started under the cleaning product run (above) to
 continue documentation of the cleaning. 
 
 6.12.1.3 Start a “cleaning after idle” product to document re-sanitization after a
 cleaning has already completed, but the room has sat idle for too long
 
 before use. When the cleaning after idle product run starts, the re-
 
 sanitization data sheet will start without the CDT data sheets. The CDT
 data sheets are not necessary after a completed cleaning.
 
 6.12.1.4 When starting a cleaning, cleaning continuation, or cleaning after idle
 product run in Redzone, always use the previous batch number as the
 
 Redzone Run ID. If the previous batch number Is not known, use NA-
 MM/DD/YY, where MM/DD/YY is the current date for starting the
 
 cleaning run. Enter the estimated time in minutes as the required
 
 quantity field. 
 
 Note: the date format is not critical when providing a run ID for an
 
 unknown previous SKU. Dashes ( — ) or slashes ( / ) may be used to
 represent the date. 
 
 6.12.2 To Accommodate Schedule Changes 
 
 6.12.2.1 If a cleaning is in process and answers about the next SKU changes for
 
 any reason, the type of clean required may also need to change. For
 example, if the previous schedule identified a SKU that would require
 
 a minor clean, a schedule change may identify a SKU that may require
 
 a major clean. If this occurs, there are options to document this in
 Redzone. 
 
 6.12.2.2 One option is to start the cleaning process completely over again. The
 CDT process will start over and allows documentation of the updated
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 Cleaning of Manufacturing/Production Areas and B-111 | 14 | Page 15 of 18 
 Equipment 
 
 scheduled next run SKU. This is the preferred method. If the identified
 
 cleaning is identical to the cleaning already completed, cancel any
 
 redundant data sheets. 
 
 6.12.2.3 A second option is to retest data sheets that inquire about the next SKU
 
 and correct the information. Before completing this action, cancel
 incomplete data sheets, as retesting a data sheet will initiate the
 
 appropriate actions. Cancel any redundant or unnecessary data sheets
 
 generated in this process. 
 
 6.12.2.4 Add comments to explain the schedule change and any cancelled data
 
 sheets. 
 
 6.12.3 Redzone Run Signoff 
 
 6.12.3.1 Quality is responsible for signing off all cleaning runs.
