The Journey to GDP Certification
Throughout our history, our company has upheld an unwavering commitment to delivering top-quality services across various industries. However, when it comes to the pharmaceutical sector, we place a special emphasis on maintaining the highest standards due to the exceptional value of the products involved. Recognizing the critical importance of adhering to strict guidelines known as Good Distribution Practice (GDP) within the pharmaceutical industry, we embarked on a journey to attain GDP certification. The STI Hungary journey began after witnessing Germany's successful GDP certification by the certification body DQS. With our Central Quality Assurance (QA) Team leading the way, they embarked on a journey to bring this certification to our Hungarian organisation. In August 2023, they proudly achieved GDP certification, marking a significant milestone in our commitment to quality.
The STI Hungary journey to its GDP certification was a meticulous and well-structured process that comprised two key stages: process setup and documentation audit, followed by the evaluation of practical application in our operative and QA processes by DQS auditors.
Stage 1: Process Setup and Documentation Audit
To attain GDP certification, we thoroughly examined our processes and associated documentation. DQS auditors assessed our internal protocols, procedures, and record-keeping systems in great detail. This process was instrumental in identifying areas where we could enhance our existing practices and documentation to align with GDP standards. It was a critical step that set the foundation for the subsequent evaluation of our practical application.
Stage 2: Practical Application Assessment
DQS auditors, during this phase, closely observed our operational and QA processes, closely observing the core of our day-to-day activities. Their goal was to ensure that our practices were not only documented but consistently implemented to meet GDP standards. This phase provided us with the opportunity to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest quality standards in the pharmaceutical industry and showcase our dedication to quality in action.
