In clinical research, the ''[[International Council on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use|International Council for Harmonisation]]'' (ICH) defines SOPs as "detailed, written instructions to achieve uniformity of the performance of a specific function". SOPs usually get applied in pharmaceutical processing and for related clinical studies. There the focus is always set on repeated application of unchanged processes and procedures and its documentation, hence supporting the segregation of origins, causes and effects. Further application is with [[triage]], when limited resources get used according to an assessment on ranking, urgence and staffing possibilities.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nsf.gov/about/contracting/rfqs/support_ant/docs/environ_health_safety/usap_sandh_policy_man/mcmurdostandardmedicalsop-311.pdf |title=McMurdo Station Medical Standard Operating Procedures as of 2006/06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304225955/https://www.nsf.gov/about/contracting/rfqs/support_ant/docs/environ_health_safety/usap_sandh_policy_man/mcmurdostandardmedicalsop-311.pdf |archive-date=2016-03-04 |url-status=dead}}</ref> Study director is mainly responsible for SOPs. The Quality Assurance Unit are individuals who are responsible for monitoring whether the study report and tests are meeting the SOP.{{citation needed|date=November 2022}}
SOPs can also provide employees with a reference to common business practices, activities or tasks. New employees use an SOP to answer questions without having to interrupt supervisors to ask how an operation is performed. The international quality standard [[ISO 9001]] essentially requires the determination of processes (documented as standard operating procedures) used in any manufacturing process that could affect the quality of the product.<ref>{{cite web
