EU-Compliant Batch Release of Medicinal Products

Excerpt from the GMP Compliance Adviser

Batch Release is the most relevant step in the lifecycle of a medicinal product. The revised version of Annex 16 of the EU GMP Guide regulates in detail the batch release, especially the activities that the certifying Qualified Person is responsible for. The process is divided into three separate steps:

• verification of certification requirements,
• batch certification and
• batch release as a change of status.

Requirements, responsibilities and the global product/process flow are complex and challenging. The report How to Meet the GMP Requirements of Annex 16 EU GMP Guide helps you to safely circumvent the multiple pitfalls that lie in wait.

You will get answers to the questions:

• What does an EU-compliant batch release of medicinal products look like and what individual steps does it involve?
• What requirements does it have to meet?
• What requirements apply to imported products?
• What responsibilities does the certifying Qualified Person have and how can he/she fulfil them?
• What support systems are available to the Qualified Person?
• What responsibilities does the certifying Qualified Person have for products fully or partially manufactured by contract manufacturers?
• How can the certifying QP meet the challenges of a complex global product/process flow?
