Membership and Co-operation

Through continuous exchange of experience a high class, efficient and cost saving audit system was being created.

Due to the non-institutional character of the initiative, autonomy and self-responsibility of the member companies are being maintained. The audits are performed by the member companies in order to meet their own quality requirements; conflict of interest does, therefore, not exist.

The audits are performed by experienced auditors who are on the payroll of the member companies. Qualification level of the auditors has been defined by our procedures.

The execution of the audits and the audit reports have been standardized according to generally acknowledged procedures.

During routine meetings the auditors come to harmonized interpretations of not clearly defined GMP requirements. Thus, the audited manufacturers can be sure that the audits are objective and calculable.

Acceptance by our supplier is good; only very few manufacturers did not accept joint audits, so far. Confidentiality of audit results and audit documentation has been agreed between the member companies.

Participation in our joint audit initiative is basically open for every pharmaceutical company. It makes sense to participate if there is a major congruence of suppliers of the company considering membership with those of our member companies.

Interested pharmaceutical companies should contact the JAVfX administrator (see "Contact").

ATTENTION: ADMISSION OF NEW PARTNERS HAS BEEN STOPPED DUE TO CHANGES IN THE ORGANISATION OF JAVfX. THE STOP WILL BE LIFTED MOST PROBABLY BY THE END OF 2021.
