Objectives

ICH Q9 Training Course
The Guideline ICH Q9 „Quality Risk Management“ was finalised in November 2005 (Step 5). Consequently, this guideline has been implemented in the EU, the US (FDA) and in Japan.

The ICH Q9 training course in hand deals with the practical implementation of the requirements. Individual examples help to show the application in the following GMP areas:

  • Validation
  • Change Control/Change Management
  • Auditing/Inspections
  • Quality Systems
As a complement to the lectures, the closing workshop offers the opportunity to practise Quality Risk Management techniques with a case study.

ICH Q10 Training Course
The International Conference on Harmonisation has published the Guidance ICH Q10 Pharmaceutical Quality Systems in June 2008. This Guideline has been transferred to European, US and Japanese regulation. Thus, all companies in these regions have to implement the key requirements of ICH Q10. However, the US FDA is still using their own Guidance for Industry (Quality System Approach to Pharmaceutical cGMP).

The implementation of these requirements have caused a number of questions. Among others ISO elements like continual improvement are new in the pharmaceutical industry. This training course has been developed to discuss the requirements and how they can be implemented in pharmaceutical industry.

Target Group

ICH Q9 Training Course
This event has been designed for quality assurance personnel. It also addresses staff from other departments, like e.g. production, engineering, quality control, and regulatory affairs.

ICH Q10 Training Course
This event has been designed for quality assurance personnel. It also addresses staff from other departments, like e.g. production, engineering, quality control, and regulatory affairs.

In addition the topics will be further discussed in interactive Workshops.

Bonus material for all participants

Quality Management Manual of a fictive Company on CD-ROM – free of charge for all participants of the ICH Q10 course

The Quality Management Manual of the fictive company “Example” does not only take into consideration the quality assurance system (QA System) as required by the GMP regulation but also the requirements of the international standards EN ISO 9001: 2000 on Quality Management Systems and EN ISO 13485: 2003 “Quality Management Systems – Medical Devices – Requirements for Regulatory Purposes”. The Quality Manual was developed by a task force of the German Medicines Manufacturers Association. The content is structured according to ISO 9001. In the appendix of the publication you will find exemplary job descriptions, e.g. for the Qualified Person, Head of Production and Head of Quality Control. Further examples include forms for the review by the management and a process flow chart.

ICH Q10 versus ISO 9001-2015 Matrix
As part of the conference binder the participants will also receive a matrix which compares the ICH Q10 Guideline and the international standard on quality management ISO 9001. This matrix is helpful to identify areas that are not covered in one of the two documents.

Workshop Quality Risk Management in Practice
Learn how to create an audit schedule by looking at the various risk categories
associated with the various operational activities within the differing units. This workshop will help you look across the different units from production operations, vendors, third-parties and laboratories, rank them by risk and then apply this to a template to create an audit schedule covering the next 3 years.
