Ensuring that the policy is relevant to the expectations and needs of the organization s customers is a little more difficult. Companies need to predict what their customer expectations and needs are (now a requirement in clause 4.1.4 under Business plans). They may be beyond what they specify in contracts although they may in fact be identical to such specifications. For companies to create satisfied customers they not only need to meet requirements specified by the customer but meet national and international legislation and have consideration for the needs and expectations of society. As explained in Part 1 Chapter 1 on Quality characteristics, customers are not only the buyers but comprise several other interested parties. You need to provide a means of determining what the customer expectations and needs are and then subject the written quality policy to a review against those expectations and needs to determine if there is any conflict. As part of your business planning procedure you should indicate how you determine your customer s current and future needs and expectations. 

There are two types of external documents, those in the public domain and those produced by specific customers. In some cases the issues of both types of documents are stated in the contract and therefore it is important to ensure that you possess the correct version before you commence work. Where the customer specifies the issue status of public domain documents that apply you need a means of preventing their withdrawal from use in the event that they are revised during the term of the contract. Where the issue status of public domain documents is not specified you may either have a free choice as to the issue you use or, as is more likely, you may need to use the latest issue in force. Where this is the case you will need a means of being informed when such documents are revised to ensure that you can obtain the latest version. The ISO 9000 series for instance is reviewed every five years, so could well be revised at five-year intervals. With national and international legislation the situation is rather different as these can change at any time. You need some means of alerting yourself to changes that affect you and there are several methods from which to choose ... 

The policy document should be reviewed at regular intervals to ensure that any changes from the introduction of new legislation (i.e. regulations, codes of practice, information concerning safe working procedures) are implemented.

The consumer movement, particularly the Consumers Health Fomm, also has considerable political influence. As a result of political pressure exerted by HIV/AIDS pressure groups and industry, the DRA was reviewed, new legislation introduced and new committees established to ensure that the regulatory authority responded more efficiently to public and political needs. Professional associations, especially the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, have traditionally played an active role in decisions related to pharmaceutical regulation. The Australian Pharmaceutical Advisory Council was established by the Australian Government to advise the Commonwealth Minister for Health on pharmaceutical policy. 

Review by supervisory body Dmg regulatory legislation normally specifies the official chain of command and the supervisory body to which the DRA must report. Administrative and legislative supervision is an important means of accountability if properly applied. However, supervision should not be used as a means of political influence over legitimate regulatory decisions. 

Legislation at Community level dates back to November 1976 when Council Directive 76/895/EEC established MRLs for 43 active substances in fruits and vegetables. These MRLs were based on the best data available at that time. These MRLs are gradually being reviewed and, where appropriate, replaced with MRLs based on more current information and higher standards. 

Inclusion in Annex I is the prerequisite for the mutual recognition of authorizations between Member States. At the time Directive 91/414/EEC was adopted in 1991, there were over 800 a.i. authorized for use in the Member States. The goal was to evaluate these at Community level within 12 years. However, the resources necessary to carry out this exercise were not fully recognized when the legislation was adopted. Moreover, time-consuming decision procedures delay the review process. Up to February 2002, 15 existing a.i. and 13 new a.i. were listed in Annex I, whereas 19 a.i. were rejected (see also Table 1). There is clearly a lack of mutual recognition between Member States. 

It is not feasible to review the growing body of legislation covering environmental control in this short chapter.
