Storage: Secure storage facilities should be designated for use to prevent damage of materials. Should be kept clean and tidy and subject to the appropriate pest control measurement. Environmental conditions should be recorded. Storage conditions for API should be based upon stability studies taking into account time. Packaging: Labelling and packaging processes should be defined and controlled to ensure that correct packaging materials are used correctly and other specified requirements are met. Printed labels should be securely to avoid mix ups arising store. Facilities and equipment : The location ,design, and construction of buildings should be suitable for the type and stage of manufacture involved protecting the product from contamination and protecting operators and the environment from the product.

12.  Handling:
 Containers should be opened carefully and
subsequently resealed in an approved manner.
 Highly sensitive materials such as penicillin's and
cephalosporin's should be handle in separate
production area.
 Highly active should be manufacture in a dedicate area
and using delectated reagent.
 Pure and API should be handle in an environmental
giving the adequate protection against contamination.

13.  Secure storage facilities should be designated for use
to prevent damage of materials.
 Should be kept clean and tidy and subject to the
appropriate pest control measurement.
 Environmental conditions should be recorded.
 Storage conditions for API should be based upon
stability studies taking into account time.
 Temperature,
 Humidity,
 Light etc……

14.  Labelling and packaging processes should be defined
and controlled to ensure that correct packaging
materials are used correctly and other specified
requirements are met.
 Printed labels should be securely to avoid mix ups
arising store.
 Marking and labeling should be legible and durable,
provide sufficient information for accurate
identification and indication require storage
conditions retest.

15.  The location ,design, and construction of buildings
should be suitable for the type and stage of
manufacture involved protecting the product from
contamination and protecting operators and the
environment from the product.
 Equipment surfaces in contact with materials used in
API manufacturing should be non reactive.

16.  Personnel suffering from an infectious disease or
having open lesions on the exposed surface of the
body should avoid activities could compromise the
quality of API.
 LABELLING
 Each container should be identified by an appropriate
label ,showing at least the product identification and
