Identification General
Requirements
• Identification method : described in the
current locally applicable Pharmacopoeia
(e.g. USP, EP, JP) or approved Regulatory
File
• For material identification, a NIR validated
method can be applied even if not
registered in the Regulatory File; for
countries where the practice is allowed.
Sampling and Identification
Operations (1)
• Samples must be representative of the batch of
materials or products from which they are taken
• Pre-samples allowed only from approved or
certified suppliers with written agreement on
sampling delegation
• Place(s) where samples need to be taken or
identification : detailed in SOP
• Sampling must not be the cause of contamination
or cross-contamination
• Cleaning operation in case of outer dirty container.
Sampling and Identification
Operations (2)
• Hazardous or highly toxic materials,
processing aids (solvents) or other special
material may not be sampled or tested
• CoA needed from supplier : results
conform to established specifications
• Practice to be justified and approved.
Sampling and Identification
Operations (3)
• Each batch of incoming material for
API product : subject for identity,
except in case of risk for health and
safety
Such kind of materials to be listed
CoA obtained from supplier for each
batch.
Sampling and Identification
Operations (4)
• Sampling plans or procedures minimum
information
Version, approver’s name, date of approval
Name of material, amount to be sampled
Sample packaging and labelling, storage
conditions
Sampling equipment, safety/handling
precautions : sterile, noxious product,
pyrogens.

composite)
Sub-division of sample
Department/person - the sample is to be sent
Instructions for cleaning and storage of
sampling equipment.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (1)
• Materials used for Manufacture of APIs:
Starting Materials, Raw Materials and
Synthesis Intermediates
 Manufacturers of SM, RM, SI must be identified
 If Manufacturer is certified, reduced testing is
allowed
 Reduced testing on hold in case of investigation
and return to reduced testing only if supported by
conclusion of investigation and approval from
Quality operations.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (2)
• Materials used for Manufacture of APIs (cont.)
 Starting Materials, Raw Materials
1) Manufacturer within « ICH » Region*:
A justified sampling and identification plan
based on criteria such as :
–
–
–
–
–
Criticality of material
Material variability
Supplier past quality history
Manufacturing factory dedication
Certification of Supplier
At least one test for Identity of each batch
(except in case of health and safety risk sample each
container)
* « ICH » = European Union, North America, Japan + EFTA:
Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (3)
• Materials used for Manufacture of APIs (cont.)
 Starting Materials, Raw Materials
2) Manufacturer outside « ICH » Region:
Sampling of each container, identification on composite
sample and full testing
(Identification on each container not required, in case of deviation/OOT:
investigation to be performed and concluded).
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (4)
• Materials used for Manufacture of APIs
(cont.)
Intermediates Synthesis – external manufacturer
3) Regardless of geographical origin:
Sampling on each container to make a
composite sample
– For identification
– For full testing
(Identification on each container not required, in case of deviation/OOT :
investigation to be performed and concluded).
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (5)
• APIs and Excipients
API produced within company: sampling and
identification limited to one container (process
validation demonstrates homogeneity,
container integrity)
API not produced within company and
excipients with origin outside the ICH region
– Identification of material on each container
– Composite sample for later full testing.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (6)
• APIs and Excipients
API not produced at company manufacturing
site and excipients with origin from the ICH
Region: sampling and identification depend
upon following parameters:
– Supplier nature and status : when supplier is
certified
– Supplier quality assurance system
– Manufacturing and control conditions
– Nature of API, excipient and drug product in which
they are used.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (7)
• APIs and Excipients (cont.)
– API or excipient coming from single product manufacturer
or plant
– API, excipient coming directly from manufacturer in sealed
containers and manufacturer regularly audited
• In such case : Sampling and Identification performed
on a reduced number of containers according to
justified sampling plan
• If previous conditions not fulfilled : identification on
each container
• APIs and Excipients used for Parenterals : EACH
container must be identified.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (8)
• Packaging Materials
Sampling plan based on quantity received and
required, nature and criticality of material
(geographical origin, primary packaging, printed
packaging), production methods, quality
assurance of manufacturer
Sampling place/location is dependant on supplier
status :
– Approved or certified supplier > sampling possible by
supplier : written sampling delegation and justified
sampling plan are mandatory
– Supplier with no quality agreement > sampling by
own company manufacturing site : justified sampling
plan.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (9)
• Intermediates for Drug Product, Bulk Drug
Products, In-Process Materials and Drug Products
 Intermediates and Bulk drug product produced by
same company and received at another site :
– sampling and identification limited to one container (due to
homogeneity demonstrated by process validation and by transport
validation)
– Each container perfectly sealed at receipt
 Intermediates and Bulk drug product not produced by
same company:
– Sampling depending upon parameters : criticality of product,
manufacturing in a dedicated facility, quality of sealing, experience
with sub-contractor
– Each individual container sampled and tested for identity.
Sampling and Identification
Specific Rules (10)
• Intermediates for Drug Product, Bulk Drug
Products, In-Process Materials and Drug
Products (cont.)
Intermediates and Bulk drug product not
produced by same company:
– Tests other than identity, sampling can be reduced or
performed on each container, based on justified sampling
plan
In-Process Materials and Drug Products :
– If relevant, sampling and identification performed according
to marketing autorisation requirements or site sampling
plan.
