Quality legal requirements

There are certain legal requirements and standards which cover the manufacture, processing, storage and quality of some foodstuffs.10 In general, these requirements do not cover composition in any detail except in the case of milk products. 

Standardization of the milk fat and total solids contents of milk is accomplished by blending cream or skim milk with separated milk. Modern technology has developed continuous standardization processes that use turbidity or infrared absorption measuring devices to monitor and adjust the composition of the product as it leaves the separator. It is important that milk be accurately standardized to meet governmental legal requirements and to manufacture dairy products with optimal functional and quality attributes. 

Quality Raw Material" is an expression that has to be defined by the individual user of a raw material, for specific production processes and for the production objectives, i.e. for every product. The "quality", i.e. the required physical/chemical parameters of a raw material vary and are product specific however if it comes to product safety, there is no room for interpretation. Our products must be safe and fulfill all legal requirements given in a specific country or imposed by international regulations. 

This article deals with legal requirements in the European Union on basic principles of laboratory quality assurance for official notification to the EC Commission and on method validation concerning official laboratories. Widespread discussions and activities on measurement uncertainty are in progress, and the European validation standards for official purposes may serve as a basis for world-wide efforts on quality harmonization of analytical results. Although much time has already been spent, definitions and require-... 

DNA profiles are placed in the NDIS. If a hit is determined, the local crime laboratories of the involved states are put in contact to discuss details. Identifying information other than the DNA profile is not entered into the system. Uploading of DNA profiles triggers quality assurance requirements and legal constraints on the use of the DNA specimens and profiles. 

In Denmark, activation of unemployed within the scope of labour market policy is the overall topic for a multitude of legal requirements and extra-legal activities. However, it is a central element of Danish labour market policy that the term activation has its own legal quality insofar as the unemployed is both entitled to activation but also has the duty to participate in activation programmes after a certain period of unemployment. Activation is not linked with an entitlement to a specific measure but at least to an activity within a bundle of measures. Thus, in this sense activation is a legal category. 

No company can be expected to survive in a competitive market if quality assessments are divorced in time from manufacture. It is for this reason that pharmaceutical manufacturers must believe in production-operated in-process checks where the process operators have the responsibility to self-check. These checks will be complementary to the independent (and legally required) QC assessment. 

GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICE Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is that part of Quality Assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use and legal requirements. GMP is thus concerned with both production and quality control matters. 

Manufacturing operations must follow clearly defined written procedures in order to produce products of the requisite quality and must comply with their authorised manufacturing documents as well as all legal requirements.
