The Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) is typically issued through a controlled process to ensure accuracy, completeness, and regulatory compliance. Here’s a step-by-step overview:
Pre-Issuance
1. Product development and formulation
2. Process validation and equipment qualification
3. Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) development
4. Training of personnel
BMR Issuance
1. Initiation: Production planner or scheduling department initiates BMR creation
2. Template selection: Choose approved BMR template
3. Data entry: Enter batch-specific information (e.g., batch number, product name)
4. Review and verification: Quality Assurance (QA) reviews and verifies BMR accuracy
5. Approval: Authorized personnel approve BMR (e.g., production manager, QA)
6. Issuance: BMR is issued to production personnel
Electronic BMR (eBMR) Issuance
1. Electronic template selection
2. Automated data population (e.g., batch number, product name)
3. Electronic review and verification
4. Electronic approval
5. Automated issuance to production personnel
Controls and Checks
1. Unique BMR numbering
2. Version control
3. Electronic signatures and timestamps
4. Audit trails
5. Access controls
Regulatory Compliance
1. Adherence to FDA 21 CFR Part 211 (US)
2. Compliance with EU GMP Annex 11 (Europe)
3. Alignment with ICH Q7 and WHO GMP guidelines
Personnel Responsibilities
1. Production planner: Initiates BMR creation
2. QA: Reviews, verifies, and approves BMR
3. Production personnel: Follows BMR instructions
4. Quality Control: Performs in-process and final product testing
Timeline
1. BMR issuance: Before production starts
2. BMR completion: During production
3. BMR review and verification: After production
The BMR issuance process ensures that critical information is accurately documented, and regulatory requirements are met.
