ECA Foundation with New Webpage and New Interest Groups

The ECA Foundation was founded 15 years ago and has developed to Europe´s leading organisation in the field of GMP and Regulatory Compliance. In order to provide a better picture of the comprehensive activities of the ECA Fondation a new webpage has been developed. On this webpage the ECA Foundation activities are explained in detail.

The most visible activities are the GMP training courses and conferences offered by the Foundation's educational organisation, the ECA Academy. From 1st of January 2015 on the webpage www.gmp-compliance.org will only cover the ECA Academy activities.

The other very successful activities are the Working Groups and the Interest Groups of the ECA Foundation. In total 6 groups are managed by the ECA Foundation:

• The European Qualified Person Association: http://www.qp-association.eu
  
• The Rapid Microbiological Methods (RMM) Group: https://www.pharmaceutical-microbiology.org
  
• The Analytical Quality Control Group: https://www.analytical-quality-control-group.org
  
• The Validation Group: https://www.validation-group.org
  
• The Good Distribution Practices (GDP) Working Group: https://www.good-distribution-practice-group.org

and the most recent developed group:

• The Visual Inspection Group: https://www.visual-inspection.org/

Each of the groups will be chaired by experts form pharmaceutical industry and regulatory authority. It is the aim of the groups to support both industry and authority in the implementation of regulatory requirements. It is the vision of the ECA to move towards a harmonised set of GMP and regulatory guidelines by providing information and interpretation of new or updated guidances.
