As regulators increase their attention on release for supply processes and personnel, SeerPharma is supporting industry with this dedicated Release for Supply training course. You will learn the duties and responsibilities of Authorised Persons within the context of the Australian regulatory framework and improve your understanding of critical areas including:

  • An overview of the regulatory requirements
  • Batch Review and decision-making on disposition
  • GMP and Quality Agreements and the role of auditing and monitoring
  • Risk-based approach: Critical Quality Attributes (CQAs) & Critical Process Parameters (CPPs)
  • Case study: Using the traffic light system

This course addresses the current TGA-adopted PIC/S Guide to GMP version 15 (PE 009-15) and current TGA Guidance on Release for supply of medicines. PIC/S GMP Guide Annex 16 (Authorised person and batch release) - adopted by PIC/S in version 16 (PE 009-16) - is also introduced.

The TGA announced on 1 March 2024 that it will be adopting version 16 of the PE 009 PIC/S Guide to GMP (excluding Annexes 4, 5 and 14) on 3 June 2024. Changes include adoption of Annex 16 (Authorised person and batch release). A review of training course updates is currently underway.
