GMP REPORTS – LITERATURE FOR THE DAILY BUSINESS

The "GMP REPORT" is a publication series intended to facilitate the implementation of current GMP guidelines in pharmaceutical operations. Although there are no fixed publishing intervals or periods, two volumes per year are issued as a rule.

So far, two reports have been published: The first issue covers "FDA Requirements for cGMP Compliance". Twelve authors from the pharmaceutical industry illustrate the efficient implementation of FDA's cGMP requirements in routine operations.

The second issue "The Qualified Person", provides an overview of the applicable European legislation framework and relevant guidelines. The legal duties of the QP like batch certification are introduced and discussed. The aspect of the QP's discretion in certifying a batch in the case of deviations and OOS results, the possibility of delegating tasks, the responsibilities within the quality system and also necessary skills a QP needs for the daily business are reflected in various articles.
Experts from international pharmaceutical companies as well as from the national authorities share their experience on these issues and give first-hand information of what is expected from QPs nowadays and in the future.

On the website of the European Compliance Academy (ECA) under Literature you can find and order the issues published so far. The reports are issued by the Editio Cantor Verlag (ECV) in Aulendorf, Germany. For further information on the publishing house and on subscribing GMP REPORT please visit www.ecv.de.
