Field Certification Standard Operating Procedures
Certification companies range in size from large companies to small, family-owned businesses. Regardless of company size, a quality-based organization must have standard operating procedures (SOPs). CriticalPoint has developed a set of SOP and accompanying form templates to meet the unique operational and quality needs of a certification company performing testing for sterile compounding organizations. These customizable templates ensure certification compliance with USP 797 and 800 as well as CETA’s Application Guides and other associated industry standards and guidance while allowing the certification company to add detail specific to its testing procedures. The SOPs take the guesswork out of how to manage an internal quality system, as they include instructive guidance and suggestions that may be incorporated if appropriate to the certifying company’s operation.
