Sampling of materials is one of the most important processes in pharmaceutical companies. During regulatory GMP Inspections, there are more and more detailed questions today about the amount of samples to be taken, both in Europe and in the US (FDA).

The ECA Visual Inspection Group has been founded in 2013 by representatives of the pharmaceutical industry and GMP authorities as part of the ECA Foundation. Learn more about the group and its objectives.

How to effectively and constantly manage and control raw materials and excipients for biological drug products and drug substances is a question that concerns pharmaceutical companies, contract laboratories as well as suppliers of raw materials. Therefore, ECA, EBE and APIC joined together to pick up this issue and support their members with useful guidance and support on quality control and management of raw materials.
