We have not been accredited with ISO 9000 system of standards but we do strictly follow GMP standards laid down by food and drug administration Maharashtra State, India.

Stage Inspection Procedure

This is part and parcel of good manufacturing practice (GMP).

The production of herbal drugs involves various stages mentioned below and how strict vigilance is kept at each stage is explained simultaneously.

Stage I:
Weighing of raw material i.e crude herbal drug, is done in the presence of two persons, one production chemist and second assistant production chemist. The bill of material is handed over to the godown keeper. Each and every container of raw material is checked whether it is passed by the quality control department by seeing the label on the container. After getting satisfied, the raw material is weighed as per formula in BOM. The weight is recorded on the Bill of Material and signed by the chemist.

Stage II:
The weighed raw material is brought to production department. The raw drugs are mixed properly and crushed to required mesh size. The crushed material is fed to extractor. The extraction is carried out as per the ayurvedic principles and all extractives are mixed together and concentrated under vaccum. At this stage the sample is drawn and is sent to laboratory for verification whether the extraction is done properly or not, and two parameters are checked

1. Total solids in the extractives.
2. Checking of different constituents by Thin Layer Chromatography.

Stage III:
Once the quality control department gets satisfactory results, the extract is subjected to further processing i.e for syrup or capsules or tablets manufacturing.

1. If it is going for syrup the test is carried on for sugar content, Ph values of syrup, specific gravity of syrup. If the product passes the standards fixed, it is given green signal for bottling.

During bottling every half an hour volume check is done and such record is maintained in the format of filling record.

1. After bottling is over, the product is labelled and packed in boxes. We maintain packing record at an interval of one hour.
2. We also maintain the printing record as per the format designed by us. Whatever quantity rejected is entered in reconciliation of packing material record.
3. The transfer of ready batch to finished goods stores is done by a record namely Finished goods transfer note.
4. The intimation to quality control lab is also through a slip of a note.

Thus at every stage there is a document of activity done. Hence there is very less chance of error.

We maintain a record of standard cleaning procedure for different sections.
