Training opportunities
International GMP harmonisation : By taking part in the meetings of the PIC/S Committee, PIC/S Participating Authorities are involved in the development and harmonisation of international GMP guides and guidelines. The PIC/S Committee also actively promotes the uniform interpretation of GMP and Quality Systems for GMP Inspectorates.
Networking
High standards
Sharing of information
Rapid Alert System

Benefits (ref. PIC/S website)
There are also indirect benefits to industry when their relevant regulatory authority becomes a member of PIC/S. These benefits may include the following:
Cost savings
Export facilitation
Enhanced market access
Reduced duplication of inspections

Statistics: Inspections per Site
41 % of the sites receiving multiple inspections
However the driver for multiple inspections can not be determined from the survey data

Overview of Inspection Activities 2013
Conducting and receiving inspections involves considerable regulator and industry resources
Inspections Days
Different inspectorates performed foreign inspections in 2013 (EU inspectorates = 1)
31
Foreign Inspections 521
Domestic Inspections at research-based industry with major activities located in Europe and US
614
Foreign inspector days 4181
Domestic inspector days – spent by regulators only, industry resources not included

Summary of the 2013 Survey Data Numbers of foreign inspections stabilised at a high level
Data sound, consistent, and comparable with previous years No joint inspections were reported Still no impact observed in the data from the EU/US inspection program
1/3 of the sites still receive multiple inspections High level of domestic inspections coincide with a high level of foreign
inspections
Resource Inspections among PIC/S member and accession inspectorates: There is
no trend of decreased overlap of inspections by PIC/S inspectorates
Europe and US is the focus of foreign inspections In addition to US FDA and EU a big workload for foreign inspections is
coming from Japan and emerging markets (e.g. South Korea, Brazil, Turkey, Kenya, Mexico)
Inspectorates from emerging markets mainly focus on sites in EU & US Inspectorates from emerging markets are all non-PIC/S members (to
date)

Key Points
Inspected companies need 10 times more resources for inspection preparation and conduct than regulators
The preparation effort is driven by specific requirements from individual inspectorates
16
Resources Inspector Industry
Preparation for specific requirements by individual inspectorates
4 man days (experience from industry audits)
90 man days
On site 8 man days (average from the survey)
55 man days
Post-inspection 4 man days (experience from industry audits)
15 man days
Sum 16 man days 160 man days
Fees/Travel - Approx. 30’000 EUR

Joint / Concurrent Inspections Reported
Fact: Zero joint inspections reported in 2013
Possible influences, industry view: Positive and negative experience in the past Linked often with a parallel assessment pilot Programs started before US-FDA joined PIC/S Very few Industry volunteers and little participation Benefits of a joint inspections is not clear Arguments: Results of the joint inspections are unpredictable
Regulators experience? Is there an assessment of the outcome of the pilots? Will regulators continue organising joint inspections?

Mutual Recognition and/or Mutual Reliance
Resources could be better leveraged by mutual recognition or reliance on inspection outcomes from trusted inspectorates
Exchange of inspection reports and companies responses Seems not to reduce the number of inspections
Seems to be used as preparation resources
Basis for reliance in a trusted inspectorate What qualifies a trusted inspectorate?
(e.g. MRA/MOU, Confidentiality agreements)
PIC/S membership only?
Are there legal boundaries to allow better use of synergies?
Why do I need to see it myself?
Cultural issues?
How can we respect the reasonable needs of individual countries for a win-win situation (e.g. PIC/S, TTIP)?
How can industry facilitate this process?

EFPIA and PhRMA propose that consistent, effective and balanced risk based regulatory
oversight, allowing for improved resource utilisation, can be further enhanced by:
Continued regulatory agency collaboration
To drive harmonisation and optimise use of global inspections resources:
For domestic inspectorates to act as primary overseeing body, and by mutual
recognition of each other’s systems or reliance of inspection outcome.
Harmonized GMP and GDP standards
To support consistent interpretation of regulatory requirements.
Harmonized regulatory inspection processes including
Inspectorates certification process,
Inspection planning and documentation: standard data packs for on-site and paper
based inspections for faster provision of information, and better use of resources,
Risk based approach to inspection
Inspection findings and reports: standard terminology for the categorisation of
observations and standard reporting template,
Sharing of inspection results in database,
Globally accepted GMP/GDP certificate format to document compliance of an
inspected site.
Enhanced Good Manufacturing and Good Distribution Practices (GMP/ GDP) Inspection Efficiency
