EudraLex - Volume 4 Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines

In the pharmaceutical industry all process must be validated, and each equipment and premise must be qualified. When changes must be made to these systems, these changes must first be evaluated along with all required actions before it can be implemented.

Part I - Basic Requirements for Medicinal Products

Chapter 1 - Pharmaceutical Quality System (Into operation since 31 January 2013)

Xii Arrangements are in place for the prospective evaluation of planned changes and their approval prior to implementation taking into account regulatory notification and approval where required;

Xiii After implementation of any change, an evaluation is undertaken to confirm the quality objectives were achieved and that there was no unintended deleterious impact on product quality;

ii Critical steps of manufacturing processes and significant changes to the process are validated;

The change and the different actions need to be pre-approved at least by a QA responsible before the change can be implemented!

Change Control management

All changes and their status should be tracked through a common database (closed changes included) The content of each change should be accessible to every authorized people within the company. It is good practice to consult the database for similar changes in the past when opening a new change request. Large plants / firms use to put in place a “Change Control Committee” where representants from all potentially impacted functions give their input The responsible person should set a realistic due date and make sure this deadline is respected!

    Purpose of Change Control:

    Required for all changes to the following subjects:

    Clear documentation of the change and decision-making process

    Product

    Validated process

    Starting material, product component, range, batch size, ...

    Product method, analytical testing, ...

    System with direct impact on quality / reproductibility

    Evaluation of its impact on quality (may include Risk Assesment)

    Quality management system

    Equipment, permises, design space

    Implementation and follow-up of clearly defined action steps

    Exceptions: Lay-out changes, correction of typo’s, adding clarifications, ‘like-for-like’ replacements with equivalent pieces of equipment
