Preparation phase, compliance

An example of using the LCA approach for informed substitution is the DfE LCA for tin-lead and promising lead-free solder alternatives for electronics. The alternatives assessment was conducted at the request of the electronics industry, as it prepared for compliance with the European Union (EU) Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive, which includes a phase-out of the use of lead in electronic products. With estimates of worldwide tin-lead solder use at over 176 million lb (80 million kg) per... 

Initially there is some confusion as some people suddenly realize that GLP implementation is about to become a reality and that they must learn "what this is all about." In addition it may happen that one person (hopefully no more) will "actively" or covertly resist. The policy regarding these persons should be to be consistently firm but not confrontational. You should be willing to lose many battles as long as you win the war. It should be stressed that if people have been kept informed and if the Preparation Phase was adequate, most people will cooperate and assist in bringing the laboratory Into compliance. The "resistors" are a small minority whose influence wanes and who eventually will become cooperative. "Resistors" eventually become clear and surprisingly, vocal, supporters of the GLPs. 

It is very likely that during the inspection historical events of the above-mentioned topics will be surveyed and it is expected that the involved persons have evaluated the processes with scientific expertise and appropriate risk assessments. A controlled, informed, and trained handling of these critical issues is mandatory. Compliance with set review-cycles for specification-documents will be checked randomly and should be considered in the preparation phase of the inspection. 

This clause requires the designation of special characteristics that should have been accomplished during product realization (as required by clause 4.2.4.7). As for the documentation of special characteristics, the symbols should have been applied both when establishing the process controls and preparing the control plan (also clause 4.2.4.7) and associated documentation during the planning phase. Therefore the requirements not previously addressed are for the control of special characteristics and evidence of compliance i.e. quality records. 

Integration of Quality Assurance concepts into the laboratory is the key to GLP compliance and is usually accomplished in three phrases under the guidance of the QAU. In the Management Phase the basic plan is formulated based on policies decided upon by management. In the second phase the QAU prepares the laboratory for the final implementation phase. General rules for integration are given as are levels of acceptance that may be expected from laboratory personnel. 

Creep, Swelling, and Extraction Studies. Additional indications of component interaction were found in the results of creep experiments with the xl series shown in Tables VI and VII. Creep in the xl series is fully recoverable, i. e. there is no permanent set, consistent with a PUx continuous phase. The increase in recoverable compliance, however, indicates a reduction in apparent crosslink density with increasing delay time before irradiation. This result is reinforced by the data in Table VII Ci and Cg are the material constants in the Mooney-Rivlin equation. The rubbery plateau modulus and the crosslink density of PUx prepared in BHA, which mimics xl formation, is less than that of PU prepared neat. 

The methods of analysis using TLC plates prepared in-house which are described in the pharmacopoeias are not discussed in this book. Rather, in this chapter, we argue for the use of precoated layers, and advise on the choice of stationary phases in compliance with the recommendations of the pharmacopoeias. 

The client is required by Regulation 10 to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable that a Health and Safety Plan which complies with Regulation 15(4) has been prepared in respect of the project before the construction phase starts. There is no duty on either the client or the Planning Supervisor to ensure that the plan continues to be in compliance with Regulation 15 once work has begun this duty to keep it up to date is laid on the principal contractor by Regulation 15(4).
