Good Manufacturing Practice in the Laboratory

Specialized GMP Training for Laboratory Staff: Ensuring Compliance with EU and USA Regulations

This course has been carefully adapted from our one-day Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) course and has been designed specifically for laboratory staff to address the unique, additional requirements expected of them as laid out in GMP both in the European and USA regulations and guidance documents.

 

The pharmaceutical quality control laboratory serves one of the most important functions in the manufacturing environment. While many of the GMP regulations and guidances apply to control laboratories,  Chapter 6 (QC and Good Control Laboratory Practice) of the EU Guide to GMP is particularly relevant. The course also covers the role of documentation, pharmacopoeias, laboratory reference standards, calibration, calculations and results. The final session of the course brings all this together by a session on preparing for regulatory inspection.
