OVERVIEW:
The quality requirements for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) will be reviewed in accordance to global API GMP- ICH Q7: “Good Manufacturing Practice Guide For Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients” based on practical experience and other relevant guidelines. Requirements of FDA and EMA (US and EU) would be reviewed either. Start from starting materials, Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient and Advanced Starting Materials (ASM) their definitions and draw a line between them. We than cover the regulatory status and official requirements start with ICH Q7 and follows by the FDA and the European Medical Agency (EMA) regulations. Than will start to crack down each requirement with practical approach and interpretation.

Would be discussed shortly as time permit, than some registration issues concerning filling, annual review and change report to file would be discussed. Especially the registration standard: Common Technical Document (CTD) according to ICH M4.
