Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for Stability Studies
Best Practices for Record Keeping in GMP Environments
GMP guidelines mandate that all activities impacting product quality must be documented. This includes stability chamber logs, sample withdrawals, timepoint testing data, and analytical results. ICH Q10, WHO TRS 986, and 21 CFR Part 211 all outline core documentation requirements for record keeping, which include:
