1. Responsibilities:-
b. Transfer of technology shall be documented in a planned approach using trained and knowledgeable
personnel working within quality system, with documentation of data covering all aspects of development,
production and quality control.
c. Any technology transfer will be managed by a team comprising members from different department; R&D,
QC, Production, Warehouse, QA, Engineering etc. who involved in the dispensing of material,
manufacturing, packing, analysis. A clear responsibilities shall be define in technology transfer protocol.
d. A formal agreement between both parties will be made which specifies clear responsibilities before, during
and after technology transfer (in case of outside transfer).
e. A transparency between both parties shall be maintain during technology transfer because any lack of
transparency may lead to ineffective transfer of technology.

Project plan shall be encompass the quality aspects of the project and plan should be based on the
quality risk management principles to identify all the hazards and their mitigation plan.
A comprehensive technical & regulatory gap assessment between sending site and receiving site
shall be done before technology transfer.
During technical and regulatory gap assessment following points shall be considered but not limited
to:
Equipment equivalence of sending site and receiving site w.r.t. capacity, working principle shall be
consider during risk assessment, if both site equipment are different in terms of capacity and
working principle then adequate risk mitigation plan shall be proposed like process optimization,
critical control parameter identification & process validation with receiving site equipment, batch
size determination based on the equipment capacity etc.
Area classification of both sending site and receiving site shall be verified for its equivalence.
Classification of both site where product manufactured should be same and qualified against a
predefined standard and raw material and product requirement like relative humidity, temperature,
non-viable and viable counts, differential pressure etc.
Water quality (raw water, purified water, water for injection, pure steam) of sending site and
receiving site shall be assess for its equivalence. Water is the main source of microbial
proliferation so microbial limit should not be more than finished goods specification of product
and water system should be qualified against pre-defined specification before its use.
Availability of all other critical utilities shall be ensure before technology transfer. All the critical
utilities and its capacity like pressure, purity, piping and design should match with the sending site
critical utilities used in the manufacturing/ packaging of respective product.
g. Apart from all technical details personnel knowledge transfer is also required to make technology transfer
successful so all the SME (Subject Matter Expert) of sending site is responsible to provide the technical /
operational / analytical training to the receiving site respective area personnel.
h. In case of new product development and transfer to the manufacturing site from R&D analytical method to be
developed by R&D and suitability of that method shall be verified at manufacturing site quality control
laboratory. In case of technology transfer from one manufacturing site to another manufacturing site responsible
person of sending site quality control shall be transferred method at receiving site and trained to all the personnel.
Analytical method transfer activity shall be done through approved protocol and method transfer report shall be
approved by both parties (sending site and receiving site) then only analytical method transfer will be treated as
confirm
j. Technology transfer shall be performed through an approved protocol which consist following but not limited to;

Quality is designed based on basic data concerning efficacy and safety obtained from various
studies. Various standards for manufacturing and tests will be established in process during
reviewing factory production and will be upgraded to the quality of product and the actual
production will be started. The technology transfer consists of actions taken in these flows of
development to realize the quality as designed during the development stage. The technology
transfer processes are classified broadly as mentioned below:
