 6.0 Procedure 
 
 6.1 A sales order is received for a new product prior to the manufacture of the first
 production batch. Quality must assess and establish that the new product can be
 
 manufactured and tested without issues. The supportive rationale will be documented in
 a new product approval report and attached to Form C-601-F1 New Product Approval
 
 Form (refer to SOP C-601 New Product Approval Process). 
 
 6.2 R&D will create a product profile for the new approved product based on the
 information provided in the new product approval report. 
 
 6.2.1 The product profile will define the finished product specifications, including the
 specifications required to support the label claim, support stability and to
 
 
 

[SOP

 New Product Documentation Requirements D-401 | 12 age SO 
 
 determine if there are any test exemptions, and define a reduced testing program
 
 if applicable. 
 
 6.2.2 All finished product specifications are selected to encompass the identity, purity,
 
 strength, and composition of the final product. Additional performance related
 specifications, although not mandatory for each product, may be included in the
 
 finished product specifications. In addition, the appropriate stability tests are
 also specified. 
 
 6.3. R&D will obtain templates from DC and complete the required fields for Form D-401-
 
 F2-XXXXXXXX (reference attachment 1) and Form D-401-Fl1-XXXXXKXXX 
 (reference attachment 2). 
 
 Note: The XXXXXXXX represents the unique formulation number given to each
 formula. 
 
 6.4 All required finished product tests for which there are scientifically valid test methods
 will be performed in-house or by a third party laboratory. The testing criteria with
 
 specifications will be outlined in the product profile. The product specific test detail
 form(s) will provide instructions for each analytical method. When necessary, the
 
 product profile will specify the rationale for test exemptions when there is no
 
 scientifically valid method for testing an analyte in the finished product matrix and
 identifies appropriate controls and other tests to justify this approach. A reduced testing
 
 program may also be defined in the test exemption section when applicable.
 
 6.5. Purity specifications and testing are associated with microbial contaminants, are
 
 dependent upon the finished product type, and are derived from recognized standard
 guidelines. For dietary and pet supplements USP <2023> and NSF/ANSI 173 guidance
 
 is used to define specifications. For cosmetics SCCP guidance is used to define
 
 specifications. For OTC pharmaceuticals USP <1111> guidance is used to define
 specifications. Minimum purity testing for dietary and animal companion animal
 
 supplements includes TAPC, E. coli, Salmonella and Yeast / Mold and the methods and

 specifications are defined in SOP D-715 Microbial Limit Testing using the 3MTM
 
 PetrifilmTM System. Specifications for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals are defined in
 SOP D-715.0 Microbial Limit Testing using Agar Plates. 
 
 6.6 SOP D-902, Establishment of Specifications, should be referenced and followed for
 specification creation and defining testing requirements. 
 
 6.7 DC will generate an IAV that will include the following information:
 
 6.7.1 Ingredient Name 
 
 6.7.2 Label Claim 
 
 6.7.3 Specifications 
 
 6.7.4 Results & Calculated By/Date 
 
 6.7.5 Signature/Date of DC, R&D, and Quality approvals when the form is issued and
 
 completed 
 
 6.8 Once R&D completes the product profile, FPTD, and FPTT, they are submitted for
 
 interdepartmental review and approval. 
 
 6.9 Once approved, the IAV, product profile, FPTD, and FPTT will become part of the
 MBR. 
 
 6.10 Once a batch is issued, a copy of the FPTT and product specific test details forms will
 be submitted to the QC Laboratory. The QC Laboratory will perform the specified
 
 testing in accordance with the specified method and document the test results on the
 FPTT and all associated testing and results in the QC laboratory notebooks.
 
 6.11 The completed JAV, completed FPTT (with reference to any laboratory notebook
 
 containing the testing performed), a completed customer COA, and any OOS/OOT
 investigations are collected by Quality and included in the executed BPR.
