DEFINITION
Quality Control is that part of Good
Manufacturing Practice which is concerned
with sampling, specifications and testing, and
with the organisation, documentation and
release procedures which ensure that the
necessary and relevant tests are actually
carried out and that materials are not released
for use, nor products released for sale or
supply, until their quality has been judged to be
satisfactory.
FOCUS
QC aims to identify and improve the defects in
the finished product. Therefore, it is a reactive
process. Reactive means by which quality is
gauged and monitored.
ACTIVITY
-Use control measurements to analyze and
evaluate the quality standards and
processes.
-Perform quality control assessments and
audits.
-Compare quality control measurements
against established control limits and
tolerances.
-Identify non-compliance and reasons for the
non-compliance.
GOAL
-To identify defects after a product is developed
and before it's released.
-To test and verify the product quality against
predefined standards.
OBJECTIVES

ROLES IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
Evaluate the quality of raw materials and API, drug product, packaging components,
reassay and retain throughout the process.
Test the products and compare the results to the specification requirements by
performing the actual testing on raw materials and finished products.
Protect the consumer from defective products and the company from damage to its
reputation due to inferior manufacturing processes.
To coordinate with the manufacturing department in controlling the process and
products at every stage of manufacturing to meet the established specifications
through testing, auditing and reporting.
ORIENTATION

Quality control is product-oriented, focusing on
identifying issues or defects in manufactured
products by testing to ensure the evaluation
seeks to assess performance through finalized
products meet the specific requirement. QC
also ensures that no material or product will be
released for sale or supply until their quality has
