How StripWorks controls oral film quality: what the specification, batch record, certificate of analysis, Lot Release Packet and change-control record contain for every lot, with 21 CFR Part 111 as the reference.
The approved brief
The controlled path starts with the brief: formula version, target amount of active per strip, serving, intended market, claims under consideration, sensory criteria, strip size, package, quantity, timing and who on each side signs off. Once approved, the brief is the reference for everything after it. A request that changes it is written up as a change, not handled in a chat thread.
Component and supplier records
For each ingredient StripWorks records identity, form, supplier, lot number, supplier COA and storage conditions, and sets a component specification for identity, purity, strength, composition and contaminant limits, as 21 CFR 111.70 describes. A supplier certificate alone does not qualify a material; it is checked against the specification for the actual product.
Product and packaging specifications
The product specification gives each attribute a method, sampling plan and acceptance range: appearance, dimensions and weight, moisture or water activity, seal integrity and coding, potency, content uniformity where dose-critical, and micro. Packaging gets the same: sachet material, carton count, artwork version, case pack.
Master and batch records
The master manufacturing record (21 CFR 111 Subpart H) fixes formula, batch size, instructions, in-process checks and packaging. Each lot's batch production record (Subpart I) lists lot number, equipment, actual lot and weight of every component, in-process results, yield, label reconciliation, deviations, and the quality review signature. Each is kept for audit.
Certificate of analysis and Lot Release Packet
A finished-product COA lists product, lot number, manufacture date, each test with method, limit and result, the lab and the approver. Third-party tests run through ILS Lab. Each lot's Lot Release Packet holds that COA, a certificate of conformance stating the lot met specification, the lot ID, reconciliation, packaging IDs and the third-party results.
Change control
A change-control record captures what is changing (formula, supplier, package, artwork, method, batch size or process), why, who asked, its effect on specification, stability and labeling, required testing or re-pilot, the approver and the first affected lot. Reorders are checked against open changes before materials are bought.
Certifications and claims
StripWorks holds no certifications and says so. Retailers that require particular certifications should ask before a project starts; StripWorks will say whether its records and third-party testing meet the requirement or not. Website text never stands in for the specification, batch record or COA of a given lot, and nothing on this site is a health or disease claim about any product.
