FDA Audits are relevant for life science companies as it forms an important aspect of the regulatory landscape. An FDA audit is an essential process for maintaining market access, meeting regulatory compliance, and ensuring product safety. But the complexities involved in FDA regulations can complicate audits. That is where BioBoston Consulting steps in — providing tried and true tools to ensure organizations are ready for and can ace their FDA inspections.
The Significance of FDA Audits and Initial Steps to Take
FDA audits are performed to determine adherence to the agency’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Good Clinical Practices (GCP), and Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), and any other regulated requirements.
FDA inspectors review a company’s processes, facilities, documentation, and product manufacturing procedures to ensure compliance with the required level of quality and safety. A successful FDA audit means that your product can remain on the market, and your company can stay in good standing with regulatory authorities.
In contrast, not passing an audit from FDA can mean product recalls, fines, production suspensions or delays with bringing it into the market. Therefore, preparation is important.
