QP Batch Release
Reliable GMP batch testing and EU batch release
QbD Group provides comprehensive Qualified Person (QP) batch release services, ensuring your medicinal products meet stringent EU regulatory standards.
What is QP batch release?
QP batch release is a regulatory requirement within the European Union for certifying that medicinal products comply with EU Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines. It involves rigorous testing and review of manufacturing, packaging, and transport processes.
Key aspects include:
- GMP batch testing: Tests for both sterile and non-sterile medicinal products.
- Compliance with Annex 16: Certifying batch release per EU GMP Guidelines.
- EU import clearance: Handling import responsibilities for non-EU manufacturers.
- MAH services: Acting as Marketing Authorization Holder for companies without an EU entity.
