Batch Records
All the documents that show how a particular batch was made and the circumstances bearing on its final quality.
Details
Batch manufacturing records are the primary evidence from which the execution of a particular batch, and any event affecting its quality, can be reconstructed from beginning to end. Inspections look for missing critical process steps, actual values, signature times or deviations, for divergence from the master instruction, and for unexplained differences in yield or material reconciliation. Read the master production record, the executed batch record, equipment logs, yield and reconciliation, deviations, test results, and the release approval record as one connected chain.
