  3. CONTENT OF PRESENTATION • Basic Principles of Quality Management • Basic Principles of Quality Assurance • Basic Requirements of Quality Assurance • Basic Principles of GMP • Basic Requirements of GMP • Basic Principles of Quality Control • Basic Requirements of Quality Control • Basic Principle of Quality Documentation • Establishment of Quality Manual

  4. OBJECTIVES • To understand key concepts of quality management, quality assurance, GMP and quality control. • To understand level of quality documentation. • To understand specific requirements on quality manual. • To develop quality manual based on GMP requirements

  5. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT

  6. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT (1) • Manufacturer should ensure the cosmetic products comply with the requirements of ASEAN Cosmetic Directives (ACD). • They should also comply with any other applicable regulations pertaining to your specific country. • The attainment of this quality objective should be led by the senior management and requires the participation and commitment by staff, by the company’s suppliers and distributors.

  7. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF QUALITY MANAGEMENT (2) • To achieve the reliable quality objective, there should be a comprehensive QA system incorporating GMP. • The QA system should be fully documented and its effectiveness should be monitored. • All parts of QA system should be adequately resourced with: • competent personnel • suitable and sufficient premises, equipment and facilities

  8. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF QUALITY ASSURANCE (1) • QA covers all matters which individually or collectively influence the quality of a product. • It refers to a sum total of activities organized with an aim to ensure the products are of the required quality. • QA incorporates GMP and other factors that fall outside the scope of the GMP Guide.

  9. STATEMENT OF RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE (1) • Ensure that products are designed and developed based on sound scientific rationale and with GMP or GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) principles being taken into consideration. • Ensure that managerial responsibilities are clearly specified. • Ensure that production and control operations are clearly specified and GMP is adopted. • Organize supply and use of correct starting and packaging materials. • Ensure that finished products are correctly processed and checked before release.

  10. BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF QUALITY ASSURANCE (2) • Ensure that products are released after review by authorised person. • Provide satisfactory arrangement to ensure products are stored, distributed & handled appropriately. • Put in place a mechanism for regular self inspection / internal quality audit.

  11. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD MANUFACURING PRACTICES (1) • Part of QA which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended use. • Minimize risks : • cross contamination • mix up • Ensure products/materials are traceable to the original source. • Product testing is a not reliable way to assure product quality. Should BUILD quality into the product! • Production and quality control functions should be independent of each other.

  12. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD MANUFACURING PRACTICES (2) • All manufacturing process are clearly defined and systematically reviewed. • All necessary facilities/resources for GMP should be provided : • adequate, qualified and well-trained personnel • suitable premises and sufficient space • suitable location • good personal hygiene and proper sanitation • suitable equipment and services

  13. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF GOOD MANUFACURING PRACTICES (3) • All necessary facilities/resources for GMP should be provided : • clearly defined manufacturing processes using unambiguous language • good documentation system • appropriate storage and transport • systematic internal quality audit • proper product recall system • right handing of complaints • comprehensive corrective and preventive action

  14. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF QUALITY CONTROL (1) • QC is part of GMP. • QC is concerned with sampling, specification and testing. • Manufacturer should have a QC department. • QC should be headed by an appropriately qualified and experienced person. • QC should be independent from production and other departments. • Ensure that the necessary and relevant tests are actually carried out. • Ensure that no materials or products will be released for sale or supply, until their quality have been evaluated and judged to be satisfactory.

  15. SCOPE OF QC Items concerned : • Starting materials • Packaging materials • Bulk products • Intermediate and finished products • Environmental conditions

  16. BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF QUALITY CONTROL (1) • Adequate facilities, trained personnel and approved procedures should be available for sampling, inspecting and testing and, where appropriate, environment monitoring. • Sampling by QC personnel & testing by approved methods. • Approved test methods. • Maintenance of QC records & failure investigation records.

  17. BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF QUALITY CONTROL (2) • Ingredients comply with regulatory specification (grade, composition, strength) • Review and evaluation of production documentation • Assessment of process deviations • Release of batches by authorised person • Sufficient reference samples of starting materials and finished products

  18. OTHER DUTIES OF QC • Establish QC procedures • Manage reference standards • Ensure correct labeling • Stability testing (if applicable) • Complaint investigation • Environmental monitoring

  19. QUALITY CONTROL ASSESSMENT OF MANUFACTURING ACTIVITY Should include the following: • Production conditions • In process quality control activity • Manufacturing documentation • Compliance with finished product specification • Examination of the finished products QC Access • QC personnel MUST have access to production area for sampling and investigation • Access to QC lab is strictly for QC personnel

  20. QUALITY CONTROL ACTIVITIES QC should cover the following: • Sampling • Specification • Testing • Release procedures • Recalls and complaints • Decision making in all quality matters • Definition of product quality • Laboratory operations • Release authorisation • Investigation and reporting

  21. Quality Management Quality Assurance G.M.P. QUALITY RELATIONSHIP Quality Control

  22. BASIC PRINCIPLE OF DOCUMENTATION

  23. OBJECTIVE OF DOCUMENTATION A reliable evidence for GMP compliance. To establish, monitor, and record “quality” for all aspects of the production, quality control and quality assurance.

  24. PURPOSE OF DOCUMENTATION • Clearly written documentation prevents errors • It provides assurance that quality related activities are carried out exactly the way they have been planned and approved • Employees know what to do • Responsibilities and authorities are identified • Forms the basis for improvement

  25. QUALITY SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION • Documentation is the key to operating a cosmetic company in compliance with GMP requirements. • All the elements, requirements and provisions adopted by cosmetic company for its quality system should be documented in a systematic, orderly and understandable manner in the form of policies and procedures. • Documents should be developed, prepared, approved, reviewed and distributed in a controlled manner. • It should be written in detail and in simple language that can be understood by the user.

  26. Quality Manual Quality Procedures Supporting Documents or Work Instructions Quality Records TIERS OF DOCUMENTATION (1) • Broadly, all documents relating to quality fall into the following categories should be controlled: • Quality Manual • Quality Procedures • Supporting Documents or Work Instructions • Quality Records All levels are integrated to form a comprehensive and cohesive documentation network via a system of cross referencing

  29. Quality Manual Quality Procedures Supporting Documents or Work Instructions Quality Records QUALITY PROCEDURES The tactical document that outlines the activities or operations of the organization in implementing the stated quality policies. The Quality Proceduresshould ensure that if necessary, samples of starting materials, intermediate, and finished products are taken, tested to determine their release or rejection on the basis of test results and other available evidence related to quality. The quality procedures are needed to enable every employee to work individually and collectively to achieve the organization’s quality objectives.

  30. Quality Manual Quality Procedures Supporting Documents or Work Instructions Quality Records WORK INSTRUCTION The operational document containing instructions specifying how the activities are performed or products are accepted. The Working Instructionshould describe step by step instruction specific to a process and machine, specifying the tools, workmanship criteria, tolerance, and direction for the process. The working instructions is the easy guide for the operator to confirm each step in executing a task. The working instructions are needed to guide the staff in performing a specific function or task.

  31. Quality Manual Quality Procedures Supporting Documents or Work Instructions Quality Records QUALITY RECORD Quality Records refer to results as well as charts and data pertaining to activities performed such inspection, testing, survey, audit, review, etc. They should be maintained as important evidence to demonstrate : • conformance to specific requirements; • the effective operation of the quality system All Quality Records should be : • Legible and clear • Dated • Readily identifiable and retrievable • Carry authorization status • Retained for a designated period • Protected from damage, light and deterioration while storage
