This document provides an overview of cGMP guidelines according to Schedule M. It defines cGMP and outlines key areas that must be addressed including personnel, premises, equipment, standard operating procedures, raw materials, self inspections, master formula records, batch manufacturing records, warehousing, and validation. The guidelines ensure quality products are consistently produced and that quality is built into every step of the manufacturing process.

2. cGMP GUIDELINES ACCORDING TO SCHEDULE M
2

3. DEFINITION
● WHO defines Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as
“that part of quality assurance which ensures that
quality products are consistently produced and
controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their
intended use and as required by the marketing
authorization”.
3

4. ● The guiding principle of GMP is that quality is built into a
product, and not just tested into a finished product.
Therefore, the assurance is that the product not only
meets the final specifications, but that it has been made
by the same procedures under the same conditions each
and every time it is made.
● All of the controls must follow prescribed, formal,
approved procedures, written as protocols, SOPs, or
Master Formulae, describing all the tasks carried out in
an entire manufacturing and control process.

5. AREAS TO BE COVERED
● Personnel
● Premises
● Equipment
● SOP’s
● Raw Materials
● Self Inspection And Audit
● Master Formula Records
● Batch Manufacturing Records
● Warehousing Area
● Reference Samples
● Validation
5

6. Good Manufacturing Practices
(GMP)
● Production
● Utilities
● Equipment
● Dosage form and data verification
(development, validation and specification)

7. PERSONNEL
7

8. It include…
● Qualified Personnel
a) Experienced
b) Sufficient Number
● Written job description

8

9. PRODUCTION
● Product focus
● Equipment
● Dosage form
● Documentation
9

10. RAW MATERIALS
● An Inventory should be maintained for Raw
materials to be used at any stage of manufacture
● Records should be maintain as per Schedule U
● Should be purchased from approved sources
● Must be checked by QC department on receipt
● Should be labeled.
10

11. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE
● SOPs are the detailed written instructions that specify how a test or
administrative procedure is to be performed, or how a piece of equipment is
operated, maintained and calibrated. SOPs describe the "standard"
approved procedures that are routinely carried out in a GMP facility. They
indicate exactly how things are done, and are kept current by review and
approved revision on a predetermined schedule (usually annual), or when
planned changes are made to the procedure or equipment and reagents used
in the procedure.
11

12. It include…
● For Equipment
● For sampling
● For Testing
● For Process
● For Packaging
12

13. MASTER FORMULA RECORDS
● There shall be MFR relating to all manufacturing procedures for
each product and batch size to be manufacture
● It should include-
a) The name of the product
b) Quantity of all starting materials to be used
c) A statement of the expected final yield with acceptable limits
d) Principal equipment to be used
e) Detailed stepwise processing instructions and the time taken
for each step
f) Any special precautions
g) Packing details and Specimen labels
13

14. BATCH MANUFACTURING RECORDS
● There shall be Batch processing record for each product.
● During Manufacturing or Processing the following
information shall be recorded
It include…
● The name of the product
● The number of Batch being manufactured
● Dates and time of commencement of batch and
completion
● Amount of Product obtained
14

15. PREMISES
15

16. LOCATION
● Geographical, climate and economic factors
● Premises must be located to minimize risks of cross-
contamination
e.g. not located next to a malting
factory with high airborne levels of yeast
● Pollution control 16

17. DESIGN
● Minimize risks of errors
● Permit effective cleaning
● Permit effective maintenance
● Avoid cross-contamination, build-up of dirt and dust
● Maximum protection against entry of insects, birds and
animals
● Separate facilities for other products such as some
antibiotics, hormones, cytotoxic substances
● Hygiene
● Eating, Drinking, Smoking Should not be allowed in the
Production area
17

18. CONSTRUCTION
● Measures should be taken to prevent cross-
contamination
● Dust control measures (including extraction of dust
and air)
● No areas for dust accumulation
● Easily cleanable surfaces
● Proper air supply
● Use of HEPA filter’s
