3.1.2 Starting materials ought to be recognized in TDP.

3.2 Other crude materials:

3.2.1 Other materials ought to be characterized as that which is a regularly accessible substance/ dissolvable/ impetus/ reagent and so forth.

4.0 Packing materials are arranged into Primary and Secondary Packing Materials.

4.1 Primary Packing Materials

4.1.1 Packing materials, which come in immediate contact with the API/Intermediates are considered as Primary Packing Materials.

6.11.1 Purchase office ought to give filled 'Vendor capability survey' to QA, before shipment of any material.

6.11.2 If the initial three dispatches of the material from the vendor are affirmed according to particulars, the vendor ought to be endorsed.
