Compilation of Community Procedures on Inspections and Exchange of Information

The European Medicines Agency is responsible for maintaining and publishing the Compilation of Procedures on behalf of the European Commission. The Compilation of Procedures is a collection of GMP inspection- related procedures and forms agreed by the GMP inspectorates of all the Member States and designed to facilitate administrative collaboration, harmonisation of inspections and exchange of inspection-related information. Article 3 of the GMP Directive, 2003/94/EC, requires Member States to take account of these procedures, and they are used as the basis for standard operating procedures of the quality systems established within the inspectorates themselves.
