5.12 Definitions:
5.12.1 Specifications: A specification is defined as a list of tests, references to analytical procedures, and appropriate acceptance criteria which are numerical limits, ranges, or other criteria for the test described. It establishes the set of criteria to which a drug substance or drug product should confirm to be considered acceptable for its intended use.
5.12.2 Raw Material: A general term used to denote starting material, reagents, intermediates, process aids, solvents, excipients, and API’s intended for use in the production of drug product or drug substances.
5.12.3 In-Process Material: Any material fabricated, compounded, blended or derived by the chemical reaction that is produced for and used in, the preparation of the drug product.
5.12.4 Finished Product (Drug Product): A medicinal product that has undergone all stages of production, including packaging in its final container intended for marketing.
5.12.5 Packaging Material: Any material intended to protect an intermediate or dosage form during storage and transport.
5.12.6 Change Control: A formal system by which qualified representatives of appropriate disciplines review proposed or actual changes that might affect a validated process status. The intent is to determine the need for action that would ensure that the system is maintained in a validated state.
