Good Manufacturing Practices Audit:
At Zenovel, we prioritizes maintaining high quality standards in the pharmaceutical supply chain through GMP audits, ensuring compliance with health authority regulations, industry best practices, and current standards. As regulatory requirements evolve, there’s a growing need for enhanced vigilance and Quality Risk Management during the audit process. Manufacturers are mandated to conduct regular GMP audits of their suppliers or employ certified third-party auditors to ensure compliance with pharma product criteria and gain valuable insights into the quality control of their processes and products.
What we do in GMP Third Party Audit Audit?
The duration of a GMP audit depends on factors like the manufacturing process’s complexity, the organization’s size, and compliance record. Basic audits take one to three days, while more complex sites may take up to 10 days. Audits can be conducted in-person, electronically, or through desktop assessment.

- Preliminary Selection Audits: assessment of new service providers and suppliers prior to on-boarding.
- Pre-Inspection Audits: getting ready for inspections by regulatory bodies.
- Gap Assessment Audits: confirmation of compliance with industry best practices and GMP requirements.
- For Cause audits: are those that are prompted by serious problems with compliance or quality.

After conducting an audit, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the findings and recommending areas for improvement.
