Batch certification – what does it mean?
Every batch of investigational or market authorized medicinal product used in the European Union has to be certified and released by a Qualified Person (QP).
Batch certification of already approved medicinal product is defined as a QP confirmation that the batch is of good quality and has been manufactured in compliance with EU GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and in compliance with MA (Marketing Authorisation).
In terms of Investigational Medicinal Products, QP is responsible for certifying that each batch of IMP has been manufactured and tested / checked in accordance with:
- EU GMP
- The Product Specification File
- The IMPD (Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier) or the CTA (Clinical Trial Authorisation)
- The Product Specification File (according Annex 13 to the EU GMP Guideline)
Product certification is a matter of critical importance for several key reasons:
Safety and Quality Assurance: At its core, product certification guarantees that a product is not only safe but also meets established quality standards. This is crucial for products that directly impact patient safety.
Legal Compliance: Non-compliance can lead to market entry denials or costly recalls, jeopardizing the financial and reputational health of manufacturers and importers.
As a result of the certification process, the batch certificate (“quality release”) is a guarantee of the quality, effectiveness and safety of the product for the patient.
