Checking Supplier and Customer Compliance
The MHRA are still issuing the new WDA(H) to licence holders, and after the next inspection cycle all licences and GDP compliance certificates will be found here; http://eudragmdp.ema.europa.eu/. You can check supplier and customer compliance before working with them.
The site allows you to search by WDA number, address and more.
You are also now responsible for ensuring that anyone you outsource work to is compliant, and should be aware that any "dirty laundry" will now be accessible.
For due diligence you should ensure that you keep an eye on the licence state of any of your suppliers or customers, during your regular bona fides checks, and the EudraGMDP site is an excellent tool.
Wherever possible you should verify or validate your supply chain, both of product arriving and goods that you ship.
Calibrated data loggers are an essential tool.
More about these in a forthcoming blog post.
