Reminder: OOS Survey - Participation possible until 8 April
Recommendation

20/21 October 2026
Performance Evaluation and Monitoring for compliant Analytical Procedures and Processes
As reported in our last newsletter, the ECA Analytical Quality Control Group (AQCG) is currently collecting input via a short survey to support the revision and update of its guidance on Out-of-Specification (OOS) investigations.
If you have not yet participated, participation is still possible until 8 April 2026.
All responses will be evaluated in an aggregated and fully anonymized manner. None of the questions are mandatory, and participants may skip any questions they prefer not to answer. At the end of the survey, respondents are also invited to propose additional topics or questions that AQCG should consider in future guidance documents.
The revision of the guideline is planned immediately after the survey closes, and a summary report of the survey results will be prepared and made available to all members.
Thank you for your valuable time and support.
