This document outlines the process for sampling, testing, and releasing or rejecting packing materials. It describes how quality control receives notification of incoming materials and assigns a sampling executive to verify details and sample containers according to a sampling plan table. The executive records sampling observations and notifies others if issues arise. Samples are tested according to standard procedures and recorded, and status labels of approval or rejection are affixed to containers before the material receipt report and analysis certificate are sent to the warehouse. Primary packing materials undergo complete analysis for each lot while secondary materials have a reduced testing plan.

2. Sampling:
 Quality control shall receive "Material Received Report (MRR)"
from warehouse as intimation for packing material sampling.
Upon receipt, sampling Executive shall verify the details on the
MRR and supplier COA.
Sampling Executive shall enter the details in the Packing Material
Inward Register as per the MRR and assigns an Analytical Reference
Number
 Sampling Executive shall approach warehouse along with
"Packing Material Sampling Record" (to proceed for sampling.
 Sampling Executive shall verify the physical condition,
consignment details and under test label of the containers against
MRR.

4. All observations of sampling shall be recorded in '''Packing
Material Sampling Record'.
 In case of discrepancy during sampling inspection, the same
shall be intimated to warehouse and QC Heads.
 "Sampled" labels shall be affix on the containers adjacent
to under test Labels.
Samples shall be brought to the laboratory, for testing.
Product labels and printed labels are sampled, checked and
released as per SOP

5. Testing and Release / Rejection of Packing Materials
 Packing materials are classified into two categories, i.e.,
Primary packing materials and Secondary packing materials.
1. Primary Packing Materials
 Complete analysis shall be carried out for the each and every
lot.
2. Secondary Packing Materials
 Complete analysis shall be carried out for the first three lots of
consignment from the approved vendor.
 Physical Inspection only shall be carried out for subsequent
lots.
 However, complete analysis shall be carried out once in a
year.

6. Samples shall be analyzed as per Standard Testing Procedures
and data shall be recorded in 'Packing Material Testing
Protocol'.
Status labels (Approved/Rejected labels) shall be prepared
and pasted on the under test labels of the containers.
MRR shall be sent to warehouse with status details along
with certificate of analysis.
