Study audit

Maximum usefulness and focus on end use. Remember that the PSM assessment phase is a means to an end the design and installation of a workable PSM system within your company. This means you may want to gather information that might otherwise not be included in comparable studies, audits, or reviews, e.g., data concerning resource allocations and requirements. If so, these considerations should be factored into both selection of your assessment method and the specific design of the tools you select. 

In the case of the reaction between 2-diazopropane and diphenyldiacetylene, the reverse (as compared with other diynes) orientation of addition of the first molecule of the diazo compound with a predominant formation of 4-phenylethynylpyrazole is observed. Therefore, it is noteworthy that whereas the regioselectivity of the addition of diazoalkanes to alkenes is well studied audits products have, as a rule, the structure been predicted with respect to electron effects, the problem of orientation... 

In-life or critical phase audits must be completed in a timely and efficient manner. They must not detract from the conduct of the study or interfere with the execution of critical activities within the study. However, QA must be able to clearly determine the actual progress of the study. Audit reports must clearly identify the actual findings of the audit. The reports must be relayed to the Study Director and to study management in a timely manner. If deviations occur or if minor findings are reported, they must... 

The 1989 OECD council decision Recommendation on Comphance with Good Laboratory Practice requires the establishment of national comphance monitoring program based on laboratory inspections and study audits and recommends the use of the guides for comphance monitoring procedures for good laboratory practice and the guidance for the conduct of laboratory inspections and study audits. 

It also comprises reporting and internal market (= mutual acceptance of data) requirements. The directive requires that the OECD Revised Guides for Comphance Monitoring Procedures for GLP and the OECD Guidance for the Conduct of Test Facility Inspections and Study Audits must be followed during laboratory inspections and study audits. 

The Aimex I of the Directive 2004/9/EC consists of two parts Part A (Guides for compliance monitoring procedures for good laboratory practice) and Part B (Guidance for the conduct of test facility inspections and study audits). The provisions for the inspection and verification of GLP which are contained in Parts A and B are those contained in Annexes I and II respectively of the OECD Council Decision-Recommendation on comphance with principles of good laboratoiy practice.

Part B of Annex 1, provides guidance for the conduct of test facility inspections and study audits which would be mutually acceptable to OECD member countries. It is principally concerned with test facility inspections, an activity which occupies much of the time of GLP inspectors. Test facility inspections are conducted to determine the... 

In addition to the development of the OECD Principles of GLP, the OECD Expert Group was given the responsibility of developing two additional guidance documents—one for the Implementation of OECD Principles of GLP and one as OECD Guidelines for National GLP Inspections and Study Audits. 

The OECD Guidelines for National GLP Inspections and Study Audits document serves as a companion document to the Principles and is intended to provide national authorities additional guidance in preparing and implementing their national GLP compliance programs.

In 1989, the OECD Council adopted an Act on Compliance with Principles of GLP. This Act contains a Decision that member countries shall (1) establish national procedures for monitoring compliance with GLP Principles, based on laboratory inspections and study audits (2) designate national compliance monitoring authorities ( CLP inspectors ) and (3) require the management of test facilities to issue a... 

Within OECD, the inspectors are also undertaking mutual joint visits to review all the national GLP-monitoring programs. Each country is visited by a team, comprising inspectors of three other countries, and the program, inspections, and on-site study audits done by the country which is visited are evaluated and discussed among the inspectors.

Requesting and Carrying Out Inspections and Study Audits in Another Country (2000). 

In 1981, the OECD Principles of GLP were finalized and led to the OECD Council Decision on the Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) which states that Data generated in the testing of chemicals in an OECD member country in accordance with OECD Test Guidelines and OECD principles of Good Laboratory Practice shall be accepted in other member countries for purposes of assessment and other uses relating to the protection of man and the environment . The OECD recommended in 1983 that implementation of GLP compliance should be verified by laboratory inspections and study audits. The EC later ratified the OECD principles and a number of Directives (e.g., 2004/9/EC, 2004/10/EC) indicates that tests must be carried out in compliance with the principles of GLP and that also that EU Member States must incorporate into their laws the requirement for all nonclinical safety studies to be conducted in compliance with GLP, and that premises conducting such studies must be inspected by a national authority.

The most important aspect is the audit of completed or ongoing studies. This is particularly true of directed inspections, which essentially is an audit of studies. There are basically two reasons for conducting a study audit during a surveillance inspection. First, there is a need to determine whether or not compliance with the GLP principles by the nonclinical laboratory has resulted in valid studies. Second, it must be determined if a study or studies, either critical or suspect, have indeed been appropriately conducted. 

With the guidance for inspections and study audits provided by the OECD documents, the national monitoring authority assumes the role of a Super-Quality Assurance , in the sense that it wiU inspect the adherence of test facilities to the GLP Principles in an analogous way as the individual Quality Assurance units do it for the single test facility. Indeed the OECD document presented in Appendix IV.II ( Revised Guidance for the Conduct of...
