To understand the responsibilities of: Contract giver Contract acceptor
To understand the contract
Module 6 | Slide 3 of 14 January 2006
7.1 – 7.4
Contract Production and AnalysisContract Production and Analysis
Principle
Contract production and analysis must be correctly defined, agreed, and controlled:
To avoid misunderstandings that could result in unsatisfactory products, work or analysis
A written contract should clearly describe: Each party's duties and responsibilities including audits Clearly state how the authorized person, when exercising his
or her full responsibility, releases each batch or issues certificate of analysis

Contract Production and AnalysisContract Production and Analysis
Responsibilities of the Contract Giver (1)
Must assess competence of contract acceptor to do the work or analysis
Must assess contract acceptor for compliance with GMP
Approve contracted activities

Contract Production and AnalysisContract Production and Analysis
Responsibilities of the Contract Giver (2) Provide all the necessary information to the contract acceptor in
order to:
have the operations carried out correctly in accordance with the manufacturing authorization and other legal requirements
be fully aware of any problems with the product, work, tests that might pose a hazard to premises, equipment, personnel, other materials or other products
Ensure that materials and products supplied by the contract acceptor are in compliance with specifications, or
Products are released by the authorized person

Responsibilities of the Contract Acceptor (1)
Must have a manufacturing authorizationCompetence:
Have the necessary facilities, premises and equipment to undertake the work
Staff should have the necessary qualifications, knowledge, training and experience to be able to do the work

Responsibilities of the Contract Acceptor (2)
No subcontracting without prior approval to a third party (The contract giver must be able to undertake audits needed to reassure that the third party is competent and approve subcontracting)
All the required information should be given to the third party
No conflicting activities or practices that could adversely affect the product(s)
