Quality control and related contract laboratories are considered at high risk because after testing and approval, drug products and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) are released to the market without further check. That's the reason why the FDA and other agencies put highest emphasis on inspections of QC laboratories. Even though cGMP regulations have been in place since long time, the large number of QC related 483's and warning letters demonstrate that companies have problems with implementation.
This two day interactive in-person seminar will provide participants the regulatory background and guidelines through all critical areas of GMP compliance. This course helps attendees understand the latest requirements and also provides them templates and examples to develop inspection ready documentation.
Practical examples and interactive exercises will be dispersed into and between the presentations while 50% of the total time will be dedicated to practical sessions. During the seminar, participants will work in small groups on case studies and prepare the answers using prepared fill-in templates. After the course a large variety of tools such as SOPs, validation examples and checklists will be readily available on a dedicated website that can be used to easily implement what they have learned from the course.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the regulatory background and GMP requirements for quality control and contract laboratories.
- Understand and be able to explain your company’s quality plan or laboratory compliance master plan.
- Understand the difference between GMP and non-GMP laboratories.
- Learn how to develop inspection ready documentation.
- Be able to train others in your organization on GMP requirements.

Complimentary Hand-outs (Value US$ 649.00):
For easy implementation, attendees will receive free access to “Laboratory Compliance Package” as Web download.
This package includes 46 SOPs, a compliance master plan, checklist and templates that help to implement GMP requirements in laboratories (Value: US$ 649)
