Ensure Regulatory Compliance in Your Contract Organization

Contract manufacturers, clinical research organizations, and testing laboratories (CxOs) must comply with the same regulatory requirements as their clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and other life science industries.

CxOs must maintain compliance with relevant standards, regulations, and regulatory guidelines in Life Sciences depending on the clients they serve such as GxP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, 210, 211, and 820, ISO 13485:2016, ICH Q10, EU MDR and IVDR, EU GMP Annex 11, ISO 9001:2015, and others.

Compliance with these requirements can be achieved easier and faster with a purposefully built QMS software solution for Contract Organizations from SimplerQMS.
