Various types of GMP violations can occur in the pharmaceutical industry. Some of the most common include:
1. Failure to follow proper manufacturing procedures – This is one of the most common GMP violations and can occur for a variety of reasons. For example, if production equipment is not properly sterilized, it can lead to contamination of the final product.
2. Not following quality control procedures – Quality control procedures are put in place to ensure that products meet all safety and quality standards. If these procedures are not followed properly, it can lead to substandard products being released into the market.
3. False information – This is a serious violation of GMP regulations and can have serious consequences Data falsification can occur at any stage of the manufacturing process, from raw material testing to final product release. This can be done for various reasons, such as to save time or money, or to cover up mistakes.
4. Failure to investigate customer complaints – Customer complaints should always be thoroughly investigated to identify any potential problems with the product. Failure to do so may lead to further complaints and ultimately a recall of the product.
5. Failure to maintain accurate records – Good manufacturing practice requires keeping accurate and up-to-date records of all aspects of the manufacturing process. These include raw material suppliers, batch sizes, production dates and final product releases. Failure to keep accurate records can make it difficult to identify and correct problems.
6. Failure to properly train employees – Employees must be properly trained in all aspects of GMP to ensure they understand and follow all procedures correctly. Failure to do so may cause errors during the manufacturing process.
7. Failure to follow safety procedures – Employees must be properly trained in all aspects of safety so that they understand and follow all safety procedures properly. Failure to do so may cause accidents during the manufacturing process or operating utilities.
