The Best GDP Practices in Data Labelling.

Make sure all documentation generated is identified and codified as per established labelling and numerical code identification for each type of documents.  Typically, each company uses its own logo and header to identify its cGMP documents and records.  For example, the following document contains document labelling and identification in the header section.

Where supporting data/document is being used, label it with the document identifier of the test plan, qualification protocol, CAPA, Incident investigations, change request (CR), etc. Initial and date the attachment.

The Best GDP Practices in Document Pagination.

Pagination should be formatted as “Y of X”, where Y = the page number and X = total number of pages.  The page number can be placed in the header or in the footer section of each page.  For example, the following document showed the document pagination in the footer section.
