1. Purpose
1.1 To establish a standard operating procedure for Stability Testing Program.
2. Scope
2.1 This Procedure is applicable for Stability Testing Program.
3. Responsibility:-
The number of batches, the condition and time intervals will depend on the type of products
involved.
Product characteristics during stability may be different than those at the time of release.
Stability testing programmes must ensure that products meet required specifications throughout
their shelf life.
Normally for stability testing, only ambient storage conditions, or conditions consistent with
product labeling, are required. Only for special cases accelerated conditions will be required.
A decision to forego testing of the revised formulation, process, package, or use of a new supplier, can be made
by QC Manager at the manufacturing plant based on the technical assessment of the significance of the
change and historic stability and the profile of the product.
QC Manager ensures that the change to forego is indeed a minor change & decision to forego testing is
documented and reported.
6. Data Review and Reporting
The Quality Control Manager is responsible for review of all stability data, data analysis &
maintaining all stability records.

humidity condition and chamber light.
8. Precautions:-
Ensure humidifier is filled with water before start.
Switch off stability chamber after 180 hours continuous run then restart 30 minutes after switch off.
