In-process quality control tests are simply routine tests that are performed during production. They are the tests that are carried out before the manufacturing process is completed to ensure that the products meet the established product quality before they are approved for use and marketing.
The function of in-process quality control is to monitor and, if necessary, adapt manufacturing processes to ensure that the product conforms to its specifications. This may also include control of equipment and environment.
In-process quality control can be performed at regular intervals during a process step (eg tabletting or encapsulation) or at the end of a process step (eg granulation, mixing). Experiments allow the formulation scientist to identify and follow all the changes that may occur during the applied technological process. This ensures the formulation scientist that the finished product meets all quality requirements, most importantly that the product should be safe for patients.
Purpose
To optimize the technical methods used in the production process.
To monitor, control and effectively improve the entire applied operation at every stage of the finished pharmaceutical product.
Inspection of raw material, equipment, environment, process, specification related testing, packing etc.
Quality and process control.
