SCHEDULE 2U.K. REVISED GUIDANCE FOR THE CONDUCTOF TEST FACILITY INSPECTIONS AND STUDY AUDITS(BASED ON PART OF PART B OF THE ANNEX TOCOUNCIL DIRECTIVE 88/320/EEC, AS AMENDED BYCOMMISSION DIRECTIVE 1999/12/EC)

PART IIU.K. STUDY AUDITS

1.  Test facility inspections will generally include, inter alia, study audits, which review on-going or completed regulatory studies. Specific study audits are also often requested by regulatory authorities, and can be conducted independently of test facility inspections. Because of the wide variation in the types of regulatory studies which might be audited, only general guidance is appropriate, and inspectors and others taking part in study audits will always need to exercise judgement as to the nature and extent of their examinations. The objective should be to reconstruct the study by comparing the final report with the study plan, relevant standard operating procedures, raw data and other archived material.U.K.
