1.0 PURPOSE:
1.1 To lay down the procedure for Analytical Reference Numbering System.
2.0 SCOPE:
2.1 This procedure is applicable for Quality control department.
3.0 RESPONSIBILITY:
3.1 Assistant – Quality Control.
3.2 Executive - Quality Control.
4.0 ACCOUNTABILITY:
4.1 Manager - Quality Control.
5.0 PROCEDURE:
5.1 Analytical Reference Number (AR Number) shall be allotted for all samples entered in quality control Laboratory for analysis.
5.2 AR Number for Raw materials, Packing materials, in-process samples, intermediates, finished products and other categories shall be of Nine Digit as follows.
5.3 First 2 digits indicate the current calendar year. Like 05 for 2005,06 for 2006,………………...
5.4 Next 2 digits indicate identity code for types of sample shall be mentioned in the following table.

In-process Examples are as follows A Block B Block C Block And so on |
First character is Block and the next character is I. AI BI CI |
5.5 Next single digit is lab identification as mentioned below.
Lab I (main lab) – 0
Lab II (D&E lab) – 1
Lab III (F&G lab) – 2
5.6 Last four digits are the continuous sequence number, starting with 0001.
Typical Examples are as follows
Lab I: Raw materials 05RM00001
Intermediates 05IN00001
Finished products 05FP00001
In-process sample from A block 05AI00001
5.6 If the number exceeds 5 digits i.e., 9999 then the next number shall be 10000.
5.7 Further exceeds 6 digits i. e 99999 then the next number shall be 100000
Typical Examples are as follows (5-digits)
Lab I: Raw materials 05RM010000
Intermediates 05IN010000
Finished products 05FP010000
In-process sample from A block 05AI10000
Typical Examples are as follows (6-digits)
Lab I: Raw materials 05RM0100000
Intermediates 05IN0100000
Finished products 05FP0100000
In-process sample from A block 05AI100000
