2. According to ISO 19011, Guidelines for Auditing Quality Systems,
defines a quality audit as a
systematic, independent and documented process for obtaining audit
evidence(records, statements of facts or other information, which are
relevant to the audit criteria and verifiable) and evaluating it objectively to
determine the extent to which the audit criteria (set of policies,
procedures or requirements) are fulfilled.

16. Principle : The purpose of self-inspection is to evaluate the
manufacturer’s compliance with GMP in all aspects of production and
quality control.
The self inspection programme should be designed to detect any
shortcomings in the implementation of GMP and to recommend the
necessary corrective actions.
All recommendations for corrective action should be implemented.
16
17. Self-inspection team
Management should appoint a self-inspection team consisting of
experts in their respective fields and familiar with GMP. The members of
the team may be appointed from inside or outside the company.
Frequency of self-inspection
The frequency at which self-inspections are conducted may depend on
company requirements but should preferably be at least once a year.
The frequency should be stated in the procedure.
17
18. Self-inspection report
A report should be made at the completion of a self-inspection. The
report should include: (a) self-inspection results;
(b) evaluation and conclusions;
(c) recommended corrective actions
