SOP for Assigning of Identification

Numbers to Equipments, Sub-

Equipments
1. Objective

To lay down a procedure for Assigning of Identification Numbers to Equipments,

Sub-Equipments and In-process SS items in various departments.

2.  Scope

This SOP is applicable for Assigning of Identification Numbers to Equipments,

Sub-Equipments and In-process SS items in various departments

3. Responsibility

 Head of departments or his / her designee shall be responsible for

assigning ID. Nos. to equipments, sub-equipments and in-process SS
items of their respective departments.
 Head-Quality Assurance shall ensure the implementation and
compliance of this SOP.

4.  Accountability

o Department Head & QA Head shall be accountable for

implementation of this SOP.

5.  Abbreviations and Definitions

 No. :           Identification Number

  Sub-Equipment :            The sub equipments are the equipments
installed on the main equipment meant for recording various process
parameters during run of that equipment.
 SS :           Stainless Steel
 In-process SS Items :            Any SS item which is supposed to be in
direct contact with the product or its ingredients during dispensing,
sampling or manufacturing operations.

6. Procedure
Note: The numbering of Equipments shall be done as per SOP titled
“Control of different equipment” (——–), numbering of Change Parts of
various equipments shall be done as per SOP titled “Control of Change
Parts” (———) and numbering of Dies and Punches shall be done as per
“Control of Dies and Punches” (———).
6.1. Equipment Numbering: Equipments fabricated in various
purposes shall be assigned unique ID. No. as per the steps discussed
below.
o The first three character shall be ‘EQ’ denoting equipment.
o The fourth character shall be ‘/’ (slash).
o The fifth and sixth character shall denote the department in which
equipment is installed. The codes for each department shall be as
follows:

FER       : Fermentor
BİO      : Biyoreaktor
PRT       : Proses Tankı
MXT       : Kariştirma Tankı

 The seventh character shall be ‘/’ (slash).

 The eighth, ninth and tenth characters shall be the numerical digits for
the serial number of equipment. The first number of the equipment
shall be 001, 002, 003 and so on.
E.g. the complete ID. No. of equipment installed in Production department shall
be EQ/PR/001 and Quality Control shall be EQP/QC/001 respectively.

o All equipments with same make, design, function or use shall be

given separate ID. No.
o List of equipments installed at various departments shall be prepared
by respective departments as per the format attached as Annexure-1
and shall be distributed to QA on need basis (whenever there is a change
or installation of new equipment) or monthly; whichever is earlier.

6.2. Sub-Equipment Numbering: Sub-Equipments like Ph sensor,

temperature sensor, conductivity sensor, steam traps,gauges, pressure
gauges, pumps, detectors, data loggers etc. installed on equipments in
various departments shall be numbered as follows:
o The sub equipment numbering shall consist of twelwe (12)
characters.
o The first six characters of sub-equipment numbering shall be same as
the last seven characters of the Equipment ID. No. assigned to the main
equipment on which the sub-equipment is to be installed (Refer steps
described under point 5.1).
o The eighth character shall be a dash ‘-’.
o The ninth and tenth character shall be two characters representing
the type of sub-equipment like, VG for vacuum gauges, PG for pressure
gauges, PU for pumps, DT for detectors, DL for data loggers etc.
o The eleventh and twelfths characters shall be numeric digits starting
from 01 for the first item of the same type e.g. vacuum gauges installed
on leak test equipment installed in production department heaving
Equipment ID. No. EQ/PR/004 shall be numbered as PR/004-VG01.

Note: If different types (w.r.t. their application) of sub-equipments are having

identical two principal characters derived from their nomenclature, then their
numbering can be made distinct by taking one more character, hence making
numbering of sub-equipment of twelve characters, e.g. DPT can be assigned to
represent the differential pressure transmitter and DPS for differential pressure
sensor.

o List of sub-equipments installed on equipments in various

departments shall be prepared by respective departments as per the
format attached as Annexure-2 and shall be distributed to QA on need
basis (whenever there is a change or installation of new equipment) or
monthly; whichever is earlier.

 6.3. Numbering for In-process SS Items: All in-process SS items
with capacity more than 30 kg approximately like Storage Bins, mugs,
spatulas, spoons, scrappers, buckets, sampling aids etc. shall be
numbered as follows:

o The in-process SS item numbering shall consist of five (05)

characters.
o All the contact items shall be numbered in a three digit
(started as 001) serial no. with the prefix of ‘SB’ for storage
bins, drums, vessels and buckets; ‘BB’ for blender bins; ‘MG’
for mugs and measuring cylinders; ‘SP’ for
spatula/spoons/scrappers and ‘SA’ for sampling aids.

e.g. complete identification number of spoon to be used in Stores (RM and PM)
shall be numbered as SP001 and in-process SS storage bins to be used in Xeed
block shall be numbered as SB300.

 The three numeric characters (started as 001) shall be allotted as per

following system:

001 to 099                                           Stores (RM and PM)

100 to 299                                           Production Block
300 to 399                                           Xeed Block
400 to 499                                           Herbal Block
500 to 599                                           Soft Gelatin Block
600 to 699                                           Quality Control

 The allotment of each identification number to each in-process SS

items shall be maintained in the register as per the Annexure-3.
 For SS items having capacity less than 30 kg approximately, set
number shall be assigned as per SOP number BF-PD-034.
  The identification number on each equipment, sub-equipment and in-
process SS items shall be conspicuously written.
