Owners of contracted facilities where pharmaceuticals are made are responsible for ensuring that approved products satisfy all requirements and that deficient products are rejected before release. Similar to a quality-control process, contract manufacturing necessitates executive verification that all products are produced, packaged, and distributed in compliance with FDA regulations. In addition, the quality unit that checks the products for compliance must have its procedures and professional obligations clearly articulated in writing.
Known as quality agreements, these documents outline the products to be produced and their quality specifications, as well as the communication process between the owner and the contract facility. Comprehensive quality agreements also should cover subcontractor responsibilities, the process for making changes to processes or equipment, and guidelines for audit practices.
