3 août 2023 – Swissmedic carries out inspections to verify compliance with GMP and GDP. These quality standards are important guidelines in ensuring the quality of medicinal products. Inspection bodies that carry out these inspections in Switzerland must hold the legally prescribed ISO 17020 accreditation. This accreditation confirms the existence of a functioning quality management system and the expertise of the inspectors. Swissmedic is the world’s first and only authority to have gained this independent confirmation of competence in GMP/GDP inspections for ATMPs.
