— WHY IS THIS NEEDED?
Multivitamin premixes are complex mixtures of vitamins and minerals used in:
• Dietary supplements and vitamin complexes for deficiency prevention
• Parenteral nutrition (TPN) for patients with malabsorption
• Infant nutrition and medical foods
• Pharmaceutical products (multivitamin tablets)
• Animal feed additives
Critical parameters:
• Each component content: 90.0–110.0% of declared (dose assurance)
• Loss on drying ≤5.0% (mixture stability)
• Heavy metals ≤20 ppm (safety)
• Microbiology: TAMC ≤1000 CFU/g, TYMC ≤100 CFU/g (purity)
• Mixture uniformity (RSD ≤5.0%) — critical for accurate dosing in tablets
• pH 5.0–7.0 (component stability)
• Clarity ≤5 NTU, color ≤50 APHA (for liquid forms)
⚠️ Special attention: component interactions (e.g., vitamin C and iron), light- and heat-sensitivity (vitamins A, D, B12), need for separation in granules for stability.
Specification compliance is mandatory for registration and release.

URS & FS — user requirements and functional specification

This document defines user requirements and functional specification for the quality-control utility. It supports deployment discussion, IQ/OQ preparation and QC workflow integration.

Utility: MultivitaminPremixQualityCheckerAPI / object: Multivitamin PremixCategory: Vitamins and minerals

1. Scope

The Multivitamin Premix Quality Checker utility is used for Multivitamin Premix. The actual input.csv is the source of truth for the input structure; control criteria are defined by the executable and the domain description.

The utility does not use machine learning; decisions are produced by deterministic rules.

Categories: Vitamins and minerals

Tags: assay, heavy metals, microbiology, minerals, premix, solid dosage, specification, uniformity, vitamins

2. Execution modes

MultivitaminPremixQualityChecker.exe                            → demo mode (console output)
MultivitaminPremixQualityChecker.exe input.csv output.json      → evaluate your data

3. Key controlled areas

assay / content
residual solvents
microbiology and pathogens
heavy metals / elemental impurities
pH and physicochemical parameters

4. Domain limits and critical parameters

5. URS — user requirements

ID	Requirement	Criticality	Acceptance criterion
URS-001	The system shall accept an `input.csv` file for Multivitamin Premix with the exact columns listed in the “Input data contract” section.	High	A file with the correct header is processed without manual editing; missing mandatory columns produce FAIL/import error.
URS-002	The system shall support execution without arguments in demo mode and execution with `input.csv output.json` for user data.	Medium	Both execution scenarios produce a predictable result or clear diagnostic error.
URS-003	The system shall perform rule-based controls for: assay / content, residual solvents, microbiology and pathogens, heavy metals / elemental impurities, pH and physicochemical parameters.	High	Each controlled parameter receives a status and message; the result does not depend on hidden Excel formulas or ML.
URS-004	The system shall preserve traceability between batch/lot, source values, applied rules and final verdict.	High	Output includes batch identifier, source values, parameter statuses and critical findings.
URS-005	The system shall generate machine-readable `output.json` for LIMS/ELN/MES, batch record and QA/QC review.	High	JSON contains overall status, check array, warnings, failures and source-file reference.
URS-006	The system shall support use in the client validation package: URS/FS, IQ/OQ preparation, installation and operational scenario checks.	High	The document, test scenarios and reproducible CSV/JSON flow are suitable for audit and internal approval.
URS-007	The system shall clearly separate technical data errors from specification nonconformities.	Medium	Schema/type errors are not mixed with pharmacopoeial deviations and are reported separately.

FS-005	Criticality handling	Critical violations produce FAIL; non-critical deviations and incomplete data produce WARNING; full conformance produces PASS.
FS-006	JSON writer	`output.json` stores overall status, per-parameter results, source values, warnings, failures and diagnostic messages.
FS-007	Integration contract	The CSV → JSON format is stable for invocation from LIMS/ELN/MES, scheduled task or wrapper service.
FS-008	Error handling	Schema error, missing file, non-numeric value or JSON write failure returns diagnosable error without silent PASS.

9. OQ/PQ test scenarios

ID	Scenario	Expected result
TC-001	Valid CSV with expected header and sample row	All rows are processed; output contains PASS/WARNING/FAIL and parameter-level detail.
TC-002	A mandatory input.csv column is missing	Import is rejected or the row receives FAIL with schema reference.
TC-003	A numeric field contains text or a blank value	Type conversion error is recorded; the result is not hidden as PASS.
TC-004	A parameter is outside specification or critical limit	Critical parameters produce FAIL; non-critical deviations produce WARNING according to the rule.
TC-005	Positive pathogen/microbiological flag or microbiological limit excursion	Critical FAIL is produced with the offending parameter.
TC-007	Residual solvent above applicable limit	FAIL is produced with solvent name and measured value.

10. QA/QC, CSV and change control

Before production use, the client records executable version, checksum, specification/monograph version, test CSV, expected JSON and IQ/OQ results.
Column names must not be changed without updating the validator and test scenarios.
The source CSV, output.json and utility version should be stored together as an evidence package.
Any change in control rules must go through change control and repeated OQ scenario verification.
