Quality Policy

Introduction

Quality policy is the foundation of our organization’s quality system and is incorporated in our
Quality Manual. It focuses on our management’s commitment to quality and our customers’
expectations as well as to safety of all clinical trial subjects participating in any projects managed by
our organization.

Definitions:

Quality Assurance (QA) focuses on preventing defects and maintaining the overall quality
management system through process implementation and improvement. It ensures that
proper processes are in place to avoid issues.

Quality Control (QC) focuses on detecting and correcting defects. Quality control is the
process by which services are tested and measured to ensure they meet a standard. Through
this process, a business can evaluate, maintain, and improve service quality. QC processes:
reviews, questionnaires, surveys, inspections, and audits.

Quality System (QS) involves both QC and QA elements ensuring appropriate quality during
all activities and performance of the organization and prevents / identifies possible quality
issues during the organizational activities.

Importance of QS at our company:
–  to safeguard our company’s reputation,
–  prevent our services from being unreliable,
–  increase trust at our partners.

It ensures that the company looks at evidence-based data and research to ensure that the services
live up to the standards.

Key reasons of importance: customer satisfaction, error prevention, cost reduction, compliance and
regulation (QC ensures that services adhere to industry standards and regulatory requirements,
avoiding legal issues and penalties), brand reputation, increased efficiency, risk mitigation,
continuous improvement, international competitiveness, customer loyalty and retention.

General objectives/goals of QS:

The primary objective of Quality Control is to identify and correct any deviations from the established
quality standards. This process involves monitoring and inspecting services at various stages to
ensure that they meet the desired level of quality. QC is also concerned with preventing defects or
errors from occurring in the first place by implementing measures to control and improve the
production or service delivery processes.

Primary goals of QC:

    1. to ensure that services are as uniform as possible and
    2. to minimize errors and inconsistencies

Key components of Quality Control at our company include:

    1. Inspection: Regularly examining materials or services to identify defects, non-compliance, or
      deviations from quality standards.
    2. Testing: Conducting various tests and measurements to assess the performance,
      functionality, or characteristics of services.
    3. Statistical Process Control (SPC): Employing statistical techniques to monitor and control the
      production processes, ensuring that they remain within acceptable quality limits.
    4. Documentation and Records: Keeping detailed records of inspections, tests, and corrective
      actions taken to maintain traceability and accountability.
    5. Corrective and Preventative Actions: Implementing appropriate measures to address any
      identified quality issues and prevent their recurrence.
    6. Training and Education: Providing employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to
      maintain quality standards in their services effectively.
    7. Quality Improvement: Constantly analyzing data and feedback to identify areas for
      improvement and enhancing the overall quality management system.
