GMP External Audit Readiness Testing
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance testing is a critical component in ensuring pharmaceutical products meet stringent quality and regulatory standards set by the World Health Organization (WHO), United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), and other national bodies. GMP External Audit Readiness Testing is specifically designed to prepare pharmaceutical companies for external audits conducted by regulatory authorities or third-party auditors.
The process involves a series of comprehensive tests that validate the entire manufacturing process from raw materials, in-process controls, final product testing, and documentation. This service ensures that your facility meets all GMP requirements, which include but are not limited to:
- Proper control over production processes
- Accurate record-keeping of manufacturing activities
- Environmental controls to prevent contamination
- Qualified personnel with appropriate training and experience
- Compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice guidelines (ISO 13485, USP, etc.)
Our team of experts will work closely with your organization to identify any areas where improvements are needed. We use state-of-the-art equipment and follow the latest industry standards to ensure that our testing is accurate and reliable.
In-depth technical details include:
The first step in GMP External Audit Readiness Testing involves a thorough review of your current manufacturing processes against international standards such as ISO 13485:2016. This includes evaluating the entire production line, from raw material handling to packaging and labeling. Our team will also check all documentation associated with these processes.
The second phase focuses on sampling and testing of products at various stages of production. Samples are taken according to predetermined plans that adhere to ISO 17025:2017. These samples undergo rigorous analyses using advanced laboratory equipment such as high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), mass spectrometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
The final phase involves reviewing all quality control records and ensuring they comply with GMP requirements. This includes auditing batch records, deviation reports, stability studies, and any other documents required by regulatory authorities.
Our comprehensive testing ensures that your facility is fully prepared for external audits. By identifying potential issues early on, we help mitigate risks associated with non-compliance penalties or product recalls.
Why It Matters
GMP compliance is not just a box to check; it’s an integral part of ensuring the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products. Regulatory authorities conduct external audits to verify that manufacturers are adhering to these strict guidelines.
The consequences of non-compliance can be severe, including fines, product seizures, market withdrawals, and even criminal charges in some cases. By proactively preparing for these audits through our GMP External Audit Readiness Testing service, you can avoid costly delays and potential legal issues.
Moreover, demonstrating GMP compliance helps build trust with customers, partners, and investors. It shows that your company takes its responsibilities seriously and prioritizes patient safety above all else.
