Is mixing of two or more batches of intermediate allowed, one of which might be OOS, into solution when reacting the next stage? Assume a weighted average meets the specification.

Q7A, section 8.4 says that OOS batches should not be blended with other batches for the
purpose of meeting specifications. It is allowed to mix two or more batches of intermediates into a
solution, but if you have a specification, it is expected that all batches of intermediate would meet
that specification.
