Quality Systems in Japan
Quality Management System (QMS) Audits
Foreign Manufacturing Accreditation (FMA)
Audits
Drug GMP Audits
Quality systems are a key issue in Japan's medical markets. Japanese quality requirements are often more stringent than in the West. With the new Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) in 2005, a number of new quality standards have been implemented in Japan. Many of these Japanese quality standards and regulations have different names and content from similar Western standards.
PBM's Japan quality experts can advise your company on ensuring that your Japanese operations comply with new quality standards. We also do QMS "mock audits" to prepare your facility for a PMDA inspection.
