Services · Document Preparation

We take on your GMP documentation, so your team can focus on its core tasks.

Rather than building an additional position or outsourcing your documentation processes to an external provider, we take on your time-consuming documentation processes according to your individual specifications. Professional responsibility remains clearly defined throughout: the tasks are handled by a named, qualified consultant within your organisation. This combines efficient relief with transparency, personal accountability and preservation of your corporate identity.

Every week your quality department spends preparing documents is a week it lacks for what really matters: production and the release of the batches produced.

The question that matters

How do you know enough about our operation to write our SOPs?

We do not invent anything. The basis is your existing documentation, your processes and structured technical discussions with the people in your organisation who actually do the work. We then write using your template, in your corporate identity, in a way that fits your existing document control system. You receive it in editable form, so you can maintain it yourselves later without us. Your effort lies in the discussions and the approval, not in the writing.

Preparing and maintaining numerous documents ties up resources and capacity that you need elsewhere. Let us take this work off your hands. Preparation always follows your specifications, so that the corporate identity of your documents is preserved and they integrate seamlessly into your existing document control system.

Typical documents we prepare

  • Site Master File as the central description of your facility for authorities and auditors.
  • SOPs including appendices and forms.
  • Product Quality Review (PQR) as the annual product quality assessment.
  • Manufacturing and testing instructions.
  • Formalised risk assessment of excipients for the risk-based determination of GMP requirements.
  • Quality policies as the framework for your quality system.
  • Elemental impurities risk assessments.
  • Risk assessments for processes, equipment and materials.
  • Validation plans and reports.
  • CMC sections of the marketing authorisation dossier or the IMPD for Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls.
  • Qualification plans and reports for all phases from DQ to PQ.
  • Nitrosamine impurity risk assessments for medicinal products and active substances.

The regulatory framework

  • EU GMP Guide for the Site Master File, SOPs and Product Quality Review.
  • ICH Q3D for elemental impurities risk assessments.
  • ICH M7 and EMA requirements for the nitrosamine risk assessment.
  • CTD format for the CMC sections of the marketing authorisation dossier and the IMPD.

Process

From the enquiry to the created document.

4 Steps, a fixed contact person, no surprises.

Arrange an initial consultation
01

Review of your documentation

What already exists, in what form, which template applies. We work with your system, not against it.

02

Technical discussion

One or two meetings with the people who know the process. This is your actual effort.

03

Preparation in your template

We write in your corporate identity, consistent with your document control.

04

Approval cycle

You review, we revise, you receive the editable file for your own maintenance.

Typical initial situations

Does one of these sound familiar?

Ahead of an inspection

The Site Master File is missing or years out of date, and the authority has announced its visit.

Specialists needed in production

Your people can write, but then other things stall. Writing is the task best suited to being outsourced.

Marketing authorisation holder without CMC capacity

The CMC section of the dossier or the IMPD needs to be finalised, and there is no one in-house able to write it.

Outstanding nitrosamine assessment

The risk assessment is overdue. Where needed, our laboratory can supply the analytical confirmation alongside it.

Responsibility

Who stands up for it here.

You will be given the name, role and direct extension of the person who will be dealing with your issue. Before the start of the contract, not afterwards, and not as a team, but as a person. But always with a strong team in the background.

Frequently asked questions about Document Preparation.

We clarify your questions in the initial consultation. Dr. Olaf Mundszinger takes the time for it.

Arrange an initial consultation
Does our corporate identity remain intact, or do we receive documents in A&O's layout?

Your corporate identity is fully preserved. We work in your templates, your layout and according to your specifications. In the end, it is your document in your QM system. We take on the time-consuming drafting, not the identity.

Who at your organisation is professionally responsible for the documents?

At A&O Pharma, qualified, experienced consultants and Qualified Persons under § 14 AMG work in-house. They know the substantive requirements for documents from their own practice. You receive a named point of contact, backed by a strong team.

Can you also take on the nitrosamine risk assessment?

Yes. We prepare the nitrosamine impurity risk assessment for medicinal products and active substances based on your product and process data. Where required, we involve our GMP-certified analytical laboratory for data-based assessment.

Do we retain approval authority over the documents?

Fully. We deliver robust drafts. Review and approval take place exclusively with you, in your QM system. The documents remain your documents. We take the drafting work off your hands, not the responsibility and authority.

Is this worthwhile compared with hiring our own staff?

For a time-limited backlog of documentation, for example ahead of an audit, a marketing authorisation or a new product launch, you avoid building a permanent position and carrying long-term staffing risk. Your internal resources can continue focusing on their core tasks, and you pay only for the additional drafting work actually required.

Which types of documents do you specifically prepare?

Among others: Site Master File, SOPs including appendices and forms, Product Quality Review, manufacturing and testing instructions, quality policies, excipient risk assessments, elemental impurities risk assessments, validation and qualification plans and reports across all phases, and CMC sections of marketing authorisation dossiers or the IMPD.
