 C-501 10 Page 4 of 13 
 Document Control 
 
 6.3.1 Documents are reviewed and approved following SOP C-403 Change Control
 Procedure. Authors/initiators, reviewers, and approvers are responsible for
 signing and dating any documents where a signature is required (SOPs, product
 profiles, etc.). 
 
 6.3.2 All documents must be approved by Quality. 
 
 6.4 _ Implementation and Obsoletion of SOPs and Forms 
 
 6.4.1 A SOP is considered to be “Effective” when all required reviews and approvals
 have been obtained and training for all required personnel has been performed.
 
 6.4.1.1 In the event that a current employee is unable to be trained due to a
 leave of absence or like event, the SOP will be made effective without
 the missing employee’s training record. The training will be completed
 
 upon the employee’s return. 
 
 Note: Training is not required for QC Laboratory test methods (SOP Numbering Series
 D-700 and D-1000) and can be made effective once all approvals have been
 obtained. 
 
 6.4.2 The following steps will be completed when an SOP is ready to be made
 effective: 
 
 6.4.2.1 The Training Matrix will be updated with the new revision and all
 training will be documented. 
 
 6.4.2.2 The Effective Date will be added to the front page of the SOP.
 
 6.4.2.3 All employees will be informed via email of the newly effective
 revisions. Employees will be responsible for ensuring that they are
 
 referencing/using this newly effective revision. 
 
 6.4.2.4 A scanned copy of the newly effective procedure will be secured so
 that the document cannot be printed and placed here for reference:
 U:\+Docs\Standard Operating Procedures. The previous revision will
 
 be removed. 
 
 If an employee requests a hard copy of a procedure,
 Document Control will complete form C-501-F2 SOP 
 Distribution Log and prepare a “For Reference Only” copy of
 the requested procedure. The requestor will initial and date on

 Document Control 
 
 form C-501-F2 SOP Distribution Log that a copy of the SOP
 was received. 
 
 Once signed, the SOP Distribution Log will be filed behind
 the original SOP in the books located in Document Control.
 
 When a new revision of the SOP is effective, the previous
 
 revision’s distribution log will be pulled and any copies that
 were distributed must then be returned. Document Control
 will initial and date the form once the file has been received.
 The form will be scanned and filed with the obsolete version
 
 of the SOP. 
 
 6.4.2.5 The previous revision of the SOP will be removed from the SOP
 binders (located in Document Control) and the new revision will be
 added. The previous revision will be made obsolete, then scanned, and
 filed electronically here: F:\Doc Control Only\SOPs\SOPs. The hard
 
 copy will be discarded. 
 
 6.4.2.6 The SOP Table of Contents and/or Form Table of Contents will be
 updated and distributed as needed. 
 
 6.5 Implementation and Obsoletion of Product Profiles/Test Tickets/Test Details,
 Packaging Profiles, and Raw Material Profiles 
 
 6.5.1 When a new or revised version of the document has been approved, the
 
 following steps will be taken: 
 
 6.5.1.1 Product Profiles will be scanned and placed here for easy reference to
 all employees: U:\+Docs\Product Profiles 
 
 6.5.1.2 Packaging Profiles will scanned and placed here for easy reference to
 all employees: U:\+Docs\Packaging Profiles 
 
 6.5.1.3 Raw Material Profiles will be scanned and placed here for easy
 reference to all employees: U:\+Docs\Raw Material Profiles
 
 6.5.1.4 Finished Product Test Details will be scanned and placed here for easy
 reference to all employees: U:\+Docs\Finished Product Test Details
 
 6.5.1.5 For revised Product Profiles, Packaging Profiles, Finished Product Test
 Tickets, and Finished Product Test Details, the original copy will be

 filed with the Master Batch Record for the specified product. The
 previous revision will be removed and scanned into the obsolete folder
 located in each product’s specific product folder in the Document
 Control Only file on the U Drive. When possible, the hard copy will be
 attached to the change control and filed in the back of the master batch
 
 record to preserve MBR change history. 
 
 6.5.1.6 For revised Raw Material Profiles, the previous revision will be
 removed from the file referenced in 6.5.1.3 and replaced with the
 newly effective revision. The previous revision will be filed here:
 
 U:\Doc Control Only\Raw Material Profiles Folder 
 
 6.6 Document House — Current Forms 
 
 6.6.1 Certain forms will be secured and made available electronically for use. If a
 form is needed, an employee will find the necessary form here:
 U:\+Docs\Document House - Current Forms 
 
 6.6.2 Only certain types of forms will be made available in the Document House.
 
 These types are as follows: 
 
 6.6.2.1 Forms related to Safety or Human Resources 
 
 6.6.2.2 Training forms 
 
 6.6.2.3 Request and Initiation Forms, such as:

 e Equipment Profiles and IOQ Checklists 
 
 O Continuous Improvement Forms (CAPA, RCA, EC, etc.) 
 
 6.6.2.4 These forms will be printed and used as needed. No extra copies will
 be printed and filed. Forms will always be printed from this file and no
 
 other. These files are not to be moved or copied, only printed when
 required. 
 
 6.6.2.5 Writable forms will be created per request, if determined to be
 acceptable for electronic population. 
 
 6.6.2.6 When a new revision of a form becomes effective, the document will
 
 be updated in the file and the previous revision will be archived here:
 U:\Quality\Private\Doc Control\SOPs\SOPs. 
 
 6.7 Control of Forms not assigned to the Document House 
 
 6.7.1 Certain forms will not be accessible to employees outside of Document Control.
 The following types of forms will not be made available in the Document House
 as outlined in section 6.6. 
 
 6.7.1.1 QC Laboratory Test Tickets 
 
 6.7.1.2 QC Laboratory Logbooks 
 
 6.7.1.3 Production Logbooks 
 
 6.7.1.4 Warehouse Logbooks 
 
 6.7.1.5 Facility Logbooks 
 
 6.7.1.6 Employee Registers 
 
 6.7.1.7 Cleaning Forms and Logs 
 
 6.7.1.8 Batch Record Forms 
 
 6.7.2 The above forms can be controlled in the following manners. 
 
 6.7.2.1 Forms that pertain to the testing of a specific lot of finished product or
 raw material may be issued with the record by Document Control.
 These forms will have the initials of the issuing Document Control
 
 
 

[SOP 

 Standard Operating Procedure SOP No | Rev 
 C-501 10 Page 8 of 13 
 Document Control 
 
 employee and the date of issuance. Only one form for each required
 test will be supplied. Should an additional form be needed, it must be
 requested from Document Control and valid reason provided for the
 need of an additional form. 
 
 6.7.2.2 Forms may be issued in a secured book. These forms will be assigned
 a unique identifier for reconciliation purposes. In the event that this
 method is used to collect data pertaining to a lot of finished product or
 raw material, a copy must be made to retain with the lot’s release
 packet. 
 
 6 Unique identifiers will be assigned using the following format:
 Form Number-Book Number-Date-Number of Pages 
 
 o Form number: the number referenced in the header of the
 form the book is issued for 
 
 o Book number: a sequential number starting at | for the form
 
 the book is issued for 
 
 o Date: the date that the book is being issued by Document
 Control 
 
 o Number of Pages: the number of form copies provided in the
 book 
 
 Example: The first book of fifty pages of form D-703-F1
 
 issued on 08/24/23 by Document Control would
 have the following unique identifier: D-703-F1-
 B1-082423-50. 
 
 6.7.2.3 Forms issued as a book will have a cover sheet which outlines the
 unique identifier, form description, number of pages issued, and the
 
 start and end dates of the book. The start date will be added once the
 first entry has been made into the book. Once all pages have been used,
 the end date will be added on the cover sheet and the book will be
 submitted to Document Control for reconciliation and archiving. A
 
 new book will be provided at that time following the same guidelines.
 If a book is submitted for archiving prior to all pages being used, the
 unused pages will be marked as N/A and filed with the rest of the
 logbook. No pages are to be removed and destroyed.

 6.7.3 Redzone data sheets may be used if available. If a datasheet has been created and
 validated in Redzone for a form, this method is preferred and should be used.
 Paper forms will still be maintained and serve as a backup documentation option if
 the Redzone data sheet is not available for use. When Redzone data sheets are not
 
 available, use the associated paper forms, to be distributed in the manner outlined
 in either section 6.7.1 or 6.7.2. 
 
 6.8 Review of Procedures and Forms 
 
 6.8.1 Review is applicable to all procedures and Forms. This review should occur
 every three years, one month prior to the month it was made effective last.
 
 6.8.2 During the last week of each month, Document Control will identify all
 procedures that are due for review and send notification to the departments..
 
 6.8.2.1 Document Control will complete the SOP information section of form
 C-501-F1 SOP Review Form, assign a due date for review completion,
 and initial/date. The form will then be submitted to the SOP reviewer
 with a copy of the SOP to be reviewed. 
 
 6.8.2.2. Review due dates should be one month from the issuance of form C-
 501-F1 SOP Review Form. 
 
 6.8.2.3 The reviewer will complete the remainder of form C-501-F1 once the
 SOP review has been executed. 
 
 If changes are required, the reviewer will follow section 6.2.2
 
 of this procedure. The change control number will be
 recorded on form C-501-F1 SOP Review Form and submitted
 with the change control and revised SOP. 
 
 If no changes are needed, the reviewer will notate this on
 form C-501-F1 SOP Review Form and return the packet to
 
 Document Control. Document Control will create a change
 control which states that no changes are needed. The SOP
 revision history will be updated to the next revision number,
 documenting that no changes were made. The SOP and
 
 change control will follow normal review processes through
 the change control system. This will ensure that the procedure
 is still routinely trained on even when changes have not been
 made.

 6.8.3 After review and approval of the updated document, training must be completed
 and the document made effective within one month. This can be extended
 following SOP QS-112 Core Quality Systems and Quality Events if a large
 number of employees require training. 
 
 6.8.4 Form C-501-Fl SOP Review Form will be filed with the SOP hard copy and
 
 will follow the SOP’s maintenance and retention requirements.
 
 Note: The revised document cannot be made effective until all necessary
 training has been completed by active employees. The only exception
 to this requirement is if an employee is out on leave, then the
 document will be made effective and the training will be completed
 
 upon their return, prior to performing the affected job functions.
 
 Note: For analytical method SOPs, a review of the associated validation will
 take place during the review of the procedure. A quality event
 amendment request will be created if the validation is not reflective of
 the current procedure. Refer to SOP QS-112 Core Quality Systems and
 
 Quality Events.

 6.11.2 Each document must be checked for accuracy, completeness, and quality after
 scanning to ensure data integrity. : 
 
 6.11.3 The scanned file must be an exact representation of the paper copy.
 
 6.12 Documents of External Origin 
 
 6.12.1 Document Control maintains documents of external origin electronically (Gf
 available), such as standard test methods, regulatory standards, industry
 
 standards, management system standards (such as ISO), equipment and
 instrument and information management systems manuals, etc. 
 
 6.12.2 These documents of external origin are controlled by their location and are not
 distributed further unless approved by Document Control. Identified documents
 represent the most current controlled versions. However, older revisions may be
 maintained for historical references. 
 
 6.12.3 When the Documents of external origin are needed for use, personnel will
 research on the internet if this is the most current version available. The correct
 version of the above document is verified with their originators or standards
 
 distributors. 
 6.12.3.1 If a newer version is available, personnel will contact their
 
 management for the purchase of the new versions or approval to
 continue to use the version indicated in test methods, test requests, etc.
 
 6.13. Batch Record Flow: 
 
 6.13.1 The Batch Record will be placed into the designated cabinet for use in the
 manufacturing process. 
 
 6.13.2 Warehouse personnel will remove the batch record from the cabinet when
 needed and deliver to the Belcher location for batch building. Once this process
 has completed, the batch will travel back to the Main facility with the weighed
 
 batch materials and be staged for blending. 
 
 6.13.3 Tableting/Encapsulation personnel will retrieve the batch record from operation
 management when needed. At the completion of the tableting/encapsulation
 process, the batch record will be placed in the cabinet to await further
 
 processing.

 process, the batch record will be placed in the cabinet to await further
 processing. 
 
 6.13.5 Packaging personnel will retrieve the batch record from operation management
 when needed. At the completion of the packaging process, the batch record will
 be forwarded to Production management for review, then to Quality Assurance
 
 for review, reconciliation, and release if record is complete and conforms to all
 release criteria. 
 
 6.13.6 The batch record will be forwarded to Document Control to be filed and
 retained following SOP C-502 Record Storage, Retention, and Destruction.
 
 6.13.7 Should remaining stock be present, the batch record will be forwarded to
 Document Control once the completed portion of the batch has been released.
 The batch record is held in Document Control for future production
 requirements. 
 
 6.13.8 The batch record will remain open as long as product is available and within the
 given shelf life. The records will be monitored by Production Control to ensure
 
 batch records are present or have been removed appropriately.
