EIPG code of practice for Qualified Persons 2020

The EIPG Code of Practice for Qualified Persons has been conceived with the aim of offering an updated view of the legal and technical requirements pertaining to the position of the Qualified Person (QP) in Europe.

The added value of this document is represented by the comments and recommendations which have been added to each requirement, taking into account the practical experience of many European industrial pharmacists in their role of QPs.

It is the scope of this document to provide a living Code of Practice by ensuring a constant updating as a consequence of the introduction of new European requirements pertaining to the QP and considering the possible integration of new comments based on the contributions of EIPG members.
