Our histology SOPs start with H- (to distinguish them from other area SOPs) then each is assigned a unique chronological 4 digit ID number followed by the version number.
For example: H-0001.00 where 0001 is the number for a specific SOP and .00 refers to the original version. The number for the first revision of this SOP would be H-0001.01. It's simple and every SOP and revision has a unique number. We keep master lists of the SOPs and the SOPs are under document control as well so each has its own history file.

What kind of formula do you use when numbering and coding your SOPs for the lab? Is there an easy way to keep them sorted and in line with all the regulatory bodies to help on inspection days? Any suggestions welcome--we're starting from scratch.
