GMP Audit Checklist for ODF Production Lines

GMP Audit Checklist for ODF Production Lines

For ODF (Oral Dissolvable Film) manufacturers aiming to enter both dietary supplement and pharmaceutical markets, GMP audits are a critical milestone. Selecting pharmaceutical-grade GMP-compliant equipment from the very beginning not only streamlines the audit process but also reduces the risk of costly production adjustments later.

1. Hardware Requirements

  • Material Contact Parts: All contact surfaces should be made of pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel or approved food-grade alternatives, ensuring safety and corrosion resistance.
  • Cleanability: Structural design must avoid dead corners and allow quick disassembly for thorough cleaning.
  • Cleanroom Environment: Drying and packaging areas should feature environmental monitoring and real-time data logging.

For example, the MJ150-L ODF Film Coating Machine is designed with GMP-grade material contact parts and easy-to-clean modular components, making it ideal for small-scale GMP-compliant production.

2. Data & Record Requirements

  • Parameter Traceability: Automated recording of coating speed, temperature, humidity, and film thickness.
  • Complete Batch Records: Include raw material batch numbers, production times, operator signatures, and change control logs.
  • Deviation & Change Management: Maintain SOPs and full approval records to ensure audit readiness.

The MJ150 ODF Film Making Machine supports full-process data recording and export, ensuring seamless compliance for both supplement and pharmaceutical-grade production.

3. Training & Audit Preparedness

  • Regular GMP training for production and quality control staff.
  • Mock Q&A sessions and on-site rehearsals before formal audits.

When paired with the MJF180 ODF Cutting & Packaging Machine, manufacturers can ensure not only process compliance but also maintain sterility and packaging integrity required by GMP standards.

4. HUANGHAI Advantages

  • Full ODF production line solutions—from coating to packaging—compliant with both dietary supplement and pharmaceutical-grade GMP.
  • Provision of complete IQ/OQ/PQ validation documents for registration and international audits.
  • Integrated real-time data recording, export, and audit traceability functions across the entire line.

Conclusion

GMP audits are not merely regulatory formalities—they are a comprehensive assessment of a manufacturer’s operational capabilities. By integrating compliance into both equipment design and production processes from day one, ODF manufacturers can ensure long-term stability and competitiveness in global markets. HUANGHAI’s pharmaceutical-grade GMP-compliant ODF solutions are trusted worldwide to meet these high standards.
