This program will cover the requirements for laboratory controls under US GMP regulations and compare them to those applied by other international health regulatory authorities. Laboratory controls relating to equipment calibration and preventive maintenance; sample chain of custody; good documentation practices; investigation of out of specification and out of trend results; analytical method validation; change control; impact of staffing levels and work flow patterns in the lab on GMP compliance; training and other issues will be included under laboratory controls.

The program will also examine the impact of the benchmark court ruling in US versus Barr Laboratories on QC laboratory governance under GMP; the role of the QC Laboratory; its placement in the overall organizational structure of a company; the responsibility of a contract laboratory versus an in-house laboratory; regulatory requirements and expectations concerning the relationship between a contract laboratory and the company who gives the contract; the criticality of data integrity, with special emphasis on recent laboratory related issues that have arisen internationally, and case studies focusing on a review of common laboratory inspection observations.
