Manufacturers must also maintain records on product design and development, production, testing, purchasing, sales, and after-sale services. In addition, the quality management system must also cover the operation, cleaning, and maintenance of the manufacturing equipment and facilities.
The revised GMPs take effect 1 March 2015.
