SOP of development and validation of analytical

method for equipment cleaning

1.0 PURPOSE:

1.1 To lay down the procedure for development and validation of analytical
method for equipment cleaning.

2.0 SCOPE:

2.1 This procedure is applicable for Development and Validation of Analytical

Method for equipment cleaning.

3.0 RESPONSIBILITY:

4.1 Senior Executive – QC

4.0 ACCOUNTABILITY:

4.1 Manager - QC

5.0 PROCEDURE:

5.1 Review the written cleaning procedure to determine what cleaning agents are
used, such as water, alcohol, etc.
5.2 From information about the target analyte (least soluble active drug
substance), determine what kind of analytical procedure will be used to
measure any residual of the target analyte after cleaning. As per following
table.

ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUE SELECTION FOR CLEANING VALIDATIONS

Target Analyte
UV-Visible active drug UV spectroscopy
where no other components
of the product are UV-
Visible active
UV-active drug where other HPLC
components of the product
are UV active
UV inactive drugs that are GC
Method Reason
1. Sensitivity
2. Selectivity because of
knowledge of matrix
1. Sensitivity, if the correct
wavelength is chosen.
2. Selectivity based on
separation of analyte from
matrix.
1. Sensitivity if correct detector
volatile or for which
volatile derivatives can be
prepared
UV inactive drugs that are
acidic or basic and for
which UV, HPLC, AA and
GC are not applicable
and detector parametes are
chosen
2. Selectivity if proper
chromatography is employed
Titration 1. Sensitivity if dilute enough
titrants are used (0.001N or
0.001N)

5.3 Develop and validate the method of choice as per following table.
