— WHY IS THIS NEEDED?
Pyridoxine hydrochloride (vitamin B6) is a water-soluble vitamin critical for:
• Amino acid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis (serotonin, GABA, dopamine)
• Hemoglobin synthesis and anemia prevention
• Nervous system support (neuropathies, seizures)
• Vitamin complexes, dietary supplements, parenteral nutrition
• Preparations for treating toxicosis, neuropathies, seizure disorders
⚠️ Extremely light-sensitive! Degrades under light forming pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Requires light protection during storage and analysis!
Critical parameters:
• Assay 98.0–102.0% (on dried basis)
• Specific rotation +18.0° to +20.5° (in 2% solution in water — key identification parameter)
• UV ratio A292/A262: 1.5–1.7 (maximum at 292 nm — for purity confirmation)
• Pyridoxal ≤0.5% (degradation product — reduces activity)
• Pyridoxamine ≤0.5% (degradation product)
• Total impurities ≤1.0%
• Loss on drying ≤0.5%
• Heavy metals ≤20 ppm
• pH of 2% solution: 2.4–3.4 (acidic reaction — characteristic of hydrochloride)
• Clarity ≤5 NTU, color ≤50 APHA
Monograph compliance is mandatory for registration. Store in dark, airtight packaging protected from light!

5. URS — user requirements

ID	Requirement	Criticality	Acceptance criterion
URS-001	The system shall accept an `input.csv` file for Pyridoxine Hydrochloride 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, 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.

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-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.
