Note:

 The cleaning for each of the equipment involved for cleaning validation
shall be executed as per the instructions provided in the “Equipment
Cleaning Records”.
 Based on the results obtained from the three cycles (both rinse and swab),
the capability and effectiveness of cleaning procedures shall be reviewed.
5.3 Sampling procedure:
5.3.1 Swab sample shall be collected according to Annexure-1 before rinse sample
by QC.
5.3.2 Swab area will be 10 x 10 cm in vertical and horizontal method by using swab
sticks. The area will be quantified by using suitable measuring tool free from
contamination. Swab residues will be dissolved in 10 ml Methanol and shall be
measured by UV.
5.3.3 QC shall collect the rinse sample into a cleaned sample bottle after physical
verification of equipment by quality assurance.
5.3.4 QC shall ensure the container label.
5.3.5 QC shall be analysed the samples as per the validated testing procedure.
5.3.6 Samples shall be carried out from production to QC under closed conditions.
5.4 Swab and Rinse sampling for equipment:
5.4.1 10 x 10 cm area of swab sample to be collected.
5.4.2 Test sample shall be collected from final rinse of 10 L.
6.0 Analytical method of analysis:
6.1 Both swab and rinse samples shall be analyzed by UV method.
6.2 Procedure for determination of wavelength:
Scan the 100 ppm1, 3-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) standard solution
from 200 to 400nm and observe the wavelength maximum absorbance of the
sample.

cleaning procedure for the product 1, 3-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) to other

product is found to be effective.

Based on the results obtained from three validation cycles during product changeover
from 1, 3-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) to any other product, prepare the
validation report and comment on the efficacy of the cleaning method used and establish
the limits for routine monitoring of equipment cleaning during product changeover.

Finally, conclude whether this method is valid for regular cleaning of the equipment
during product changeover from 1, 3-Dicyclohexyl Carbodiimide (DCC) to any other
product.

Once validation study is completed, the cleaning procedure and testing method shall be
verified for suitability and any changes required, same shall be addressed through
change control to the cleaning procedure or any associated procedures.
