Study Notes

GMP Facility Inspections

A routine inspection is a comprehensive review of all aspects of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) within a facility.

Validation Priority

Products that can cause the most problems if not manufactured by completely controlled processes are given priority in validation work.
Examples of priority lists are used to organize and focus validation efforts.

Quality Control (QC)

QC means testing samples to check their compliance with predetermined specifications.
QC is a part of Quality Assurance (QA).

Testing and Inspection

Testing is performed during the filling operation to determine filling weights.
Finished jars or tubes are tested for leakage.

Reconciliation Records

Reconciliation records are reviewed during packaging.
Any significant variations in records must be justified before batch release.
