Pharmaceutical Auditing Approach

Intertek design audit and action plans to accommodate pharmaceutical clients needs, including EC standards, FDA regulations, and WHO concerns.

In the audit process, Intertek "photographs" the company's existing quality system, and superimposes it on the reference system, allowing an exact assessment on the company's conformity performance. Intertek then recommends a plan of action, which allows the company to achieve the quality assurance required.

A pharmaceutical auditing plan may include corrective actions on:  

• Documentation and Record Control 
• Manufacturing Process and Equipment 
• Training 
• Validation and Qualification

While the purpose of all audits is the same, the elements and steps involved in the audit process may differ depending on the type of audit required and its applied regulation standards. Working with the company, Intertek takes an active role to ensure corrective actions are instituted and implemented. A company that makes medications today must be able to prove that it does so with absolute reliability, under optimal secure conditions, and with extreme uniformity to allow for exact reproduction. Therefore, all manufacturing equipment and processes must be qualified and validated to insure performance.
