QUALITY ASSURANCE

Product quality is the ultimate responsibility of the Quality Assurance department. At Macter, Quality Assurance is a service department that supports other departments as they manufacture and market products, which meet all the requirements of the Ministry of Health and other government agencies, as to safety and effectiveness of the products. Definitives for Quality Assurance are the internationally recognized standards, which extend to all areas of activity of the pharmaceutical production process - from before the purchase of raw materials until after the delivery of the finished product to the customer. Ensuring compliance with CGMP, GLP and GSP, is also the responsibility of this department. Specifically, Quality Assurance activities cover: Vendor evaluation; testing and release of raw material, packing material, intermediate and finished products; facility, equipment and process validation; documentation control; and manufacturing and packing procedures.
The Quality Control section is that part of Quality Assurance, which deals with the sampling and testing of all raw materials, in-process materials and finished products.
