- Are you involved with any authorisation step in manufacturing GxP regulated product?
- Do you need to be aware of the responsibilities of Authorised Persons?
If you answered “yes” to either question, this course will help you understand and execute your Quality / GMP responsibilities so that you and your organisation release product to market in compliance with the marketing authorisation: Release for Supply (RFS).
Regulatory Landscape in Australia
PIC/S Guide to GMP version 16 (PE 009-16) was adopted by the TGA on 3 June 2024 with a transition period for the new Annex 16 (Authorised person and batch release) to 2 September 2024 allowing manufacturers to assess and plan for any changes needed to comply with Annex 16. The TGA expects that since 3 September 2024 manufacturers will have completed:
- assessment of the impact of the Annex 16 on their operations
- updating quality systems documentation and implementing revised practices
Content
This course will address the PIC/S Guide to GMP version 16 (PE 009-16) Annex 16 (Authorised person and batch release) including new/modified requirements. Note that the TGA is still yet to publish updated guidance on Release for Supply since its adoption of Annex 16.
