MVS Pharma GmbH Quality Management System

At MVS Pharma GmbH, every medicinal product and every partner we work with is carefully evaluated to ensure compliance with EU regulatory requirements, patient safety expectations, and the highest standards of pharmaceutical integrity.

Our Quality Check Process combines EU GDP-compliant due diligence, GMP-oriented supplier assessment, and risk-based decision making to build a secure and transparent global supply chain.

Supplier Qualification Process

Before any raw material, component, or medicinal product is sourced, MVS Pharma follows a structured supplier qualification process in accordance with our internal SOPs and EU GDP principles.

Defining Requirements

We begin by clearly identifying the product-specific and regulatory requirements, including:

  • material or product specifications
  • dosage form and strength
  • packaging standards
  • analytical and microbiological requirements
  • applicable GDP/GMP obligations

This ensures that only suppliers with the required technical capability and regulatory status are considered.

Comprehensive Supplier Assessment

Potential suppliers undergo an in-depth evaluation, which includes:

  • verification of Manufacturing Authorizations or Wholesale Distribution Authorizations
  • confirmation of valid GMP/GDP certificates, where applicable
  • review of the supplier’s regulatory history and inspection outcomes
  • assessment of product portfolio, capacity, and service reliability

Authorizations and certificates are cross-checked using official regulatory sources such as EudraGMDP or equivalent national databases.

Quality Documentation Review

We obtain and evaluate quality-relevant documents, such as:

  • Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
  • technical dossiers or product specifications
  • stability data (where applicable)
  • material safety data sheets

Where necessary, MVS may request product samples for analytical or performance evaluation to ensure compatibility with our internal quality standards.

Risk-Based Evaluation and Shortlisting

All collected information is assessed using a risk-based approach.
Factors such as product criticality, supplier track record, regulatory compliance history, and supply chain complexity are evaluated to determine whether the supplier is suitable for partnership.

Approval by the Responsible Person and Management

The final qualification decision is made by the Responsible Person (RP) in collaboration with Quality Management and senior leadership. Only suppliers that fully meet our compliance, safety, and quality expectations are approved and added to the Approved Supplier List (ASL).

Manufacturer Qualification Process

When selecting manufacturers for finished products, medical devices, or critical components, MVS applies the same rigorous process – enhanced with GMP-focused requirements.

Defining Manufacturing Requirements

We specify:

  • regulatory classification (GMP/GDP/ISO requirements)
  • production capacity and timelines
  • technology and process capability
  • quality management expectations

Regulatory and Compliance Verification

Each manufacturer is evaluated based on:

  • valid Manufacturing Authorization
  • GMP certification issued by competent authorities
  • audit history and inspection outcomes
  • adherence to international quality standards

On-Site or Virtual Facility Assessment

MVS performs on-site visits or virtual assessments (when appropriate) to verify:

  • facility design and cleanliness
  • equipment qualification status
  • environmental controls
  • personnel training and competence
  • documentation and data integrity practices

This ensures transparency and first-hand verification of the manufacturer’s quality system.

Quality Agreement

Before cooperation begins, a formal Quality Agreement is established, defining quality responsibilities for:

  • deviation handling
  • batch release
  • documentation requirements
  • complaint and recall management
  • Ongoing communication and oversight

Final Approval and Ongoing Monitoring

Following the assessment, the RP and Quality Management approve the manufacturer.
Performance is continuously monitored through:

  • complaint trend analysis
  • deviation investigations
  • regulatory updates
  • periodic requalification
