Environmental Monitoring Procedure Rev. No. 0

1.0 OBJECTIVE
This Environmental Monitoring Procedure aim to describe a systematic procedure for monitoring Temperature, Relative
Humidity, Microbiological Analysis, Water Analysis and Air Analysis in different areas of AP Printing & Packaging Inc. facility
and to the environmental condition shall be satisfactory during storage, dispensing and manufacturing of products.

2.0 SCOPE
This Environmental Monitoring Procedure will cover the following areas:
2.1 Production
2.2 Quality Control Department
2.3 RM/ PM Warehouse
2.4 Finished Goods Warehouse

3.0 RESPONSIBILITIES
3.1 QA Analyst is responsible on Daily monitoring of temperature and humidity and perform ATP Swab Testing on
personnel hands, machine and finished good.
3.2 QC Head is responsible in ensuring proper monitoring of temperature and humidity and ATP Swab Testing is being
carried out as per GHPs requirements.
3.3 Maintenance and Technical Department are responsible in maintenance of machine and equipment.
3.4 Production Operator are responsible in cleaning and disinfection of machine, equipment and production area.
3.5 AP Printing & Packaging Personnel shall be responsible in performing proper hand washing
3.6 Utility Personnel are responsible in cleaning and disinfection of Hand Washing area and comfort rooms.

4.0 PRECAUTIONS
4.1 Thermo-Hygrometer
4.1.1 The Thermo-Hygrometer battery is accurately working.
4.1.2 Thermo- Hygrometer shall not be placed under direct airflow.

4.2 Luminometer
4.2.1 The battery of Luminometer shall be in full charge.
4.2.2 The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Swab Stick shall be within the expiry date 10 months from
manufacturing.
4.2.3 The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface Swab Sticks shall be stored in cool and dry place (refrigerate)
4.2. 4 Do not touch the internal surfaces of the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Surface test or the surface you are sampling as this
will contaminate the test, producing a false positive or failed result.
