Control of suppliers such as Contract Manufacturing Organizations has always been a requirement of the FDA and EU. With the issuance of these new regulatory documents; the expectation is that there will be written documentation of this control. Proof of this control can be presented to FDA / EU inspectors in the form of a Quality Agreement which is specific to a particular CMO.
Each proposed section of a Quality Agreement is fully analyzed and suggested content is written with the new guidelines taken into consideration. A comparison of the two regulatory documents is presented with differences highlighted and discussed.

The latest status of the FDA draft guidance is discussed and a review of comments from the industry is included.
