School of Pharmacy, RK University 3
Set of written instructions that is followed routinely or repetitively.
Created culture where Quality objectives are Transparent, well
understood, and Undoubtedly these goals can be achieved by certain
sets of Procedures called as “Standard Operating Procedures”.
Back bone of Pharmaceutical Industries.
SOPs describe both technical and fundamental programmatic
operational elements of an organization that would be managed
under a work plan or a Quality Assurance (QA) Project Plan .
STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE [SOP]
FDA’s three golden rules on proper documentation
1. If it isn’t written down, it didn’t happen.
2. If it isn’t written down properly, it didn’t happen either.
3. Don’t forget rules 1 and 2.

Objectives
To describe the responsibilities of the coordinating center for
managing and monitoring the participating sites.To provide guidelines for accurate and timely data collection,
resolution of data clarifications (queries). To detail the regularly recurring work processes that are to be
conducted or followed within an organization.To facilitate consistent conformance to technical and quality system
requirements and to support data quality.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 7
Continued….
To maintain their quality control and quality assurance
processes
To ensure compliance with governmental regulations.
To serve as a training document for teaching users about the
process for which the SOP was written.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 8
Why it is Essential ?An integral part of successful quality system.
Plant’s effectiveness and efficacy.
Regulatory requirement.
To ensure that production operations are performed consistently to
maintain quality control of processes and products.
To ensure that processes continue uninterrupted and are completed
on a prescribed schedule.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 9
Provides information to perform job properly.To provide people with all safety, health, environmental and
operational information necessary to perform job properly.Also provides, consistency (very imp. In any of the field)Gives information in order to achieve pre-determined specification
and quality end-result.Minimizes variation and promotes quality. Steps can be reviewed in
accident investigations. Serves as a training document for users.
Benefits

SOPs assist to ensure that GMP is followed and achieved at all times.SOPs assist the pharmacy personnel to know who does what, and
when, thus avoiding confusion, and function overlapping. This also
takes care of accountability and responsibility.SOPs help to assure the quality and consistency of the service, and
thus minimize harm to the patient.SOPs are useful tools for training new members of staff.SOPs give clarity to the pharmacy personnel, to follow
steps/procedures, systematically, and uniformly.

SOP WRITING STYLE
SOPs shall be written in a concise, step by step, easy to read and
follow format. Information should not be complicated. The active voice and
present verb tense should be used.Should be simple and short.Routine procedures that are short and require few decisions can
be written using simple steps format.Long procedures consisting of more than 10 steps, with few
decisions should be written along with graphical format or
hierarchical steps.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 13
Continued….
Procedures that require many decisions should be written along
with flow chart.Requirement for document identification and control,
accountability and traceability responsibility must be included
with every SOP; this can be achieved by providing consistent
format.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 14
While Writing SOP…
Write in the presence tense. Don’t write in the past, conditional or
future tense unless you have good reason to do so. Avoid ambiguity.Be concise.Keep the words short and get to point.Move from one step to another step in logical manner.Highlight exception. Use a symbol to flag that this is an exception and
how to handle it.
DO
School of Pharmacy, RK University 15
Highlight warning. Again warn users that caution must be used in
this scenario. Warning must stand out; use a larger font or a warning
icon.
Reduce the word count where possible without altering the meaning
of the text.
Continued….
School of Pharmacy, RK University 16
Introduce acronyms without explaining what it means. Don’t use the word “may”, “if possible” as it implies that the user
can do something under conditions. Instead be positive and tell
them what to do.
DONOT DO
While Writing SOP…

INSIDE THE SOPCompany name and pagination.
The company name and pagination (e.g. page 4 of 7) must appear on
every page.
Title
The title should be descriptive. The title should use directive language
to declare what is being done to what.
Identification
Procedures must be easily identified by giving unique number and
version number. This identification number of the SOP supports
accountability of the document throughout the facility and over time as
it changes.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 18
Review and approval
All SOPs shall have space for signature of initiator (the
person who has written the SOP) Reviewer (The persons who has
reviewed the SOP) and approver (Quality Assurance Head of the
organization).
Purpose
The purpose or objective of the procedure should restate and
expand well written title. Expand or qualify the directive language
used in the title (e.g. to describe the operation procedure of
compression machine)
Continued….

Scope
The scope should provide limits to the use of procedure. The scope shall
be written in such a way that it answers following questions…. Are there certain samples that are appropriate to test by this method? Do these operations apply only to certain equipment or certain
departments? Is there a limit to the capacity, volume, or throughput of the procedure? State to what areas this procedure does apply and does not apply?
Responsibility
Who is responsible for performing the work described?
Who is responsible for implementing the procedure?
Procedure
Describe the procedure in a step by step, chronological manner. Use
active verbs and direct statementsSchool of Pharmacy, RK University

SOP PROCESS
1. Sop Preparation
2. SOP Review and Approval
3. Frequency of Revisions and
Reviews4. Implementing SOP
5. Management of SOP
School of Pharmacy, RK University 21
The organization should have a procedure in place for determining
what procedures or processes need to be documented.
SOPs should be written by an individual who performs the tasks
routinely or someone who is directly responsible for the performance
of the task.
SOP Preparation
School of Pharmacy, RK University 22
Who will/can write SOP?
Performs the job Equipment manufacturers
Performs maintenance on equipmentTechnical initiationSafety personnel
Environmental personnel
School of Pharmacy, RK University 23
SOP Review and Approval
SOPs should be reviewed by one or more individuals with
appropriate training and experience with the process especially
helpful if draft SOPs are actually tested by individuals other than the
original writer before the SOPs are finalized.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 24
Frequency of Revisions and Reviews
SOPs need to remain current to be useful. Therefore, whenever
procedures are changed, SOPs should be updated and re-approved. If
desired, modify only the pertinent section of an SOP and indicate the
change date/revision number for that section in the Table of Contents
and the document control notation.
SOPs should be also systematically reviewed on a periodic basis, e.g.
every 1-2 years, to ensure that the policies and procedures remain
current and appropriate, or to determine whether the SOPs are even
needed.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 25
Implementing SOP
The most important step for implementing the SOP is in working
area, train or retrain the user. Everyone should follow the procedure
exactly with each and every step in detail, it is very important to
train the user otherwise individual may interpret meaning in
different ways. While training the user trainer should share the reason WHY, SOP
must performed correctly. People are much more to follow when
they understand importance of procedure. Trainer should explain and demonstrate how each step in the SOP
will be performed and should assure them this will increase Quality
of product by providing safety and accuracy which will ultimately
increase the confidence of the user.
School of Pharmacy, RK University 26
Management of SOP
Organization shall have SOP on Preparation, approval, revision
and control of standard Operating Procedure for better control and
management of SOPs.
Generally, administrative aspects of the SOP system such as
distribution and filing are well managed. On the other hand,
overall system management, frequently characterized by the lack
of a system owner, is generally poor. If a system owner exists at
all, his or her responsibilities are limited.
Continued….
Ideally a system owner Eliminates obsolete SOPs. (Which is not needed)Ensures that SOPs meet their quality requirements and are user
friendly.Manages SOP change controls. Distributes SOPs. Ensures that SOPs are current. Ensures that new or changed SOPs are valid only after training has
occurred and provides training about the SOP system. Measures system performance and periodically reports results to
management.Continuously improves the system.

SOPs serve as a fundamental means of communication for all levels of
the organization. Not only do they involve employees departmentally,
but they also allow management and employees to gain a cross-
functional view of the organization. This approach encourages
employees to think about how process change may affect other
functional areas. A good system forces Employee to think through processes and
examine how Procedure might affect product, personnel, production,
and equipment. It shall be noted that the Best written SOPs will fail if they are not
followed.
