How we use these
- Before qualifying a supplier: check EudraGMDP for a valid certificate or a non-compliance report.
- Before an inspection: read recent FDA warning letters and EU non-compliance reports in your product area.
- When a rule changes: check the national authority as well as the EU text, for local requirements.
