Hold time is the period during which materials ( Machine Parts) may be held under specified conditions or time and remain within the stipulated requirements. At all phases of production Hold time study on machine change parts to be done on a given frequency to ensure the quality of products.
Manufacturers must ensure that the products they create are safe, effective, and of the appropriate quality for their intended application. Products should be constantly made to the quality standards required by the marketing authorization and appropriate for their intended application. Pharmaceutical products should be manufactured using validated methods, according to the systems. Manufacturing procedures should be demonstrated to be capable of consistently producing pharmaceutical products of the specified quality and specifications.
