Furthermore, as a global company, we have in-country expertise and can act quickly to support your company’s needs. We are able to provide the following services:

Pre-Approval Inspections (PAIs)

We can perform pre-approval inspections to independently assess readiness. These inspections enable us to identify potential gaps and to address them.

What Is a Pre-Approval Inspection?

A pre-approval inspection is performed to assure regulatory authorities that the facility listed in a drug application can manufacture a drug and that the data submitted is accurate and complete.

Quality System Audits

Quality system audits evaluate a quality management program’s conformance to policies, regulatory requirements and contract commitments. Our experts can assess issues that require action and assist in closing them.

Supplier and Contractor Audits

Our quality risk management approach helps businesses to define which third-party companies or contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) to audit on-site or remotely. We provide global auditing services for material suppliers, including CMOs manufacturing all pharmaceutical dosage forms, excipients and APIs.

Auditing GLP, GCP, GMP, PV and GDP

Our global capacity enables us to perform audits in each of the above-listed disciplines to ensure adherence to regulatory standards, including those of the EMA, U.S. FDA, WHO, PIC/S and ANVISA.
