Definition :
B.P.C.R. is primarily a replica of the M.P.C.R., additionally it gives the actual process record of the batch produced and help in maintaining the complete production and control history of the batch.

12. Different Names of BPCR:
BMR (INDIA)
BP and BPR (WHO)
BMR and BPR (MCC, SA)
BP and BPR (MHRA)

13. BPCR are required to be maintained for each batch of product manufactured.
These should be based on MFR.
Method of preparation of BPCR should be such that transcription errors do not occur.
Before any process begins a check should be made to ensure that all work stations are clear of previous product, material and documents. This check should be recorded.

14. Essential Components of a Batch Record:
Document Identification.
Company Name.
Dates of Manufacturing.
Product Identification.
A step by step account of the processing and testing to be done.

15. The monitoring specifications-how will the operators know if the process is proceeding properly.
Raw data must be collected and blanks must be filled in with the information.
Materials and equipment used .
Signatures required.

16. Batch Processing Records:
A batch processing record should be kept for each batch processed.
It should be based on the relevant parts.
Before any processing begins, a check should be made.
This check should be recorded.

17. Content of BPR: Name , number of the batch being manufactured.
Dates and times.
Name of the person responsible.
Batch / lot number and the quantity of each starting material actually weighed.
Relevant processing operation.
Amount of product obtained.
Notes on special problems.

18. Batch Packaging Records:
A batch packaging record should be kept for each batch or part batch processed.
Based on the relevant parts of the approved packaging instructions.
Before any packaging operation begins, checks should be made.
These checks should be recorded.

19. Content of BPR: Date and Time. The name of the responsible person.
Name , batch number, quantity of bulk product.
Date and Time.
The name of the responsible person.
Identity.
Details of the packaging operations.
Batch number, expiry date, and any additional overprinting
Special problems.

20. Basic Difference: B/W MPCR and BPCR:-
MPCR is the type of master document, means with the help of MPCR only, the BPCR is prepared.
BPCR is unique batch wise, means all batches have their individual BPCR.
Moreover BPCR contains ‘Date and Time’, that when the batch was processed.
MPCR is the reference copy.

31. MF and corresponding Batch Records:
MF give the complete production instructions.
Blank spaces are provided for the entry of data.
The BPR is the approved copy of the master document with filled in data entries.
Once a final product has been produced, BR is comprised of a single document.
The product is a pool of several intermediates or final bulks then the full batch record includes the individual batch records of all the components.

32. Issuing of MF copy as a blank BR:
MF are almost invariably stored on the computer.
QA is responsible to generate a copy.
The MF should make reference to in process tests, QC tests.
The batch record, however, includes the record sheets of all the production records and support records.

33. Master formulae, once approved and signed, should remain under the control of QA.
Master copies of the MF can be distributed to relevant departments if needed.
There will obviously be company-by-company differences in the details of the procedures for QA approval and issuing of MF.

34. Electronic MF and BR:
The MF is invariably on the computer, and should be under pass-word control of QA.
Photocopies – stamped, numbered, and on a distribution list - may be issued as reference copies to the relevant department head.
The electronic version may have the signature and date fields typed in, e.g. "official copy signed by XXX”; “official copy dated ddmmyy”.
If the electronic copy is printed out as the BBR for each production run, the QA department must stamp each page of the printout and sign that it is the approved current MF.
