3 Terms and definitions
The terms and definitions in GB/T 22278 and GB/T 22274.1 apply to this part. 4 Inspection of testing institutions
4.1 For regulatory purposes, any testing institution that produces health or environmental safety data may be inspected for compliance with GLP principles. Inspectors may be required to review data related to the physical, chemical, toxic or ecotoxic properties of substances or preparations. In some cases, the inspector may need the assistance of subject matter experts. 4.2 The wide variety of facilities (related to physical layout and management structure) and types of studies that the inspector will encounter means that the inspector should rely on his or her own judgment to assess the degree and extent of compliance with the principles of GLP. Nevertheless, the inspector should strive to maintain a consistent approach when evaluating whether a particular facility or study complies with the principles of GLP. 4.3 In the following sections of this section, guidance is provided on various aspects of the facility, including the personnel and procedures that are likely to be investigated by the inspector; and in each section there is a statement of purpose and a list of specific items that may be considered during the facility inspection. These lists are not intended to be all-inclusive and should not be misunderstood. 4.4 The inspector should not be concerned with the scientific soundness of the study design or the interpretation of the effects of the study results on human health or the environment. These aspects are the responsibilities of the regulatory authorities to whom all data are submitted for oversight. 4.5 Inspections of facilities and audits of studies inevitably interfere with the normal work of the facility. Therefore, the inspector should plan carefully and, if practicable, schedule visits to certain areas in accordance with the wishes of facility management. 4.6 During the inspection of a testing facility and the audit of a study, the inspector will have access to confidential, commercially valuable information. They should ensure that only authorized personnel have access to this information. The responsibilities in this regard have also been defined in the GLP Compliance Monitoring Plan. 5 Inspection Procedures
5.1 Pre-audit
5.1.1 Familiarize the inspector with the management structure, building layout, and scope of studies of the facility to be inspected. GB/T 22274.2-2D08

6.1 Inspections of test facilities often include study audits, which are reviews of ongoing or completed studies. Regulatory authorities also often require specific study audits, which may be conducted separately from the inspection of the test facility. Because there are so many different types of studies to be reviewed, and only one general guideline can be used, the inspector and others involved in the study review will often need to use their own judgment to determine the nature and scope of the review. The goal of a study review is to reconstruct the study by comparing the final report with the study plan, relevant standard operating procedures, raw data, and other archived materials.
6.2 In some cases, the inspector will need the help of other experts to conduct an effective study review, for example, if a tissue slide needs to be examined under a microscope.
6.3 When performing a study audit, the inspector should: a) obtain the name, work description, training and experience profile of the personnel selected to conduct the study (such as the project leader and key technical experts);
check whether there are sufficient personnel trained in the relevant fields of the study undertaken; b)
identify the various instruments or special equipment used in the study and check the calibration, maintenance and service records of these equipment; d)
review the records related to the stability of test samples, analysis of test samples and formulations, and analysis of raw materials; e) if possible, try to confirm the work assignments of the selected participating researchers through interviews to verify whether these personnel have time to complete the tasks specified in the study plan or report; f) obtain copies of all documents related to control procedures or ensuring the integrity of the study, including: - study plan; - standard operating procedures used when conducting the study; - record books, laboratory notebooks, files, work orders, printouts of computer stored data, etc.; when appropriate, review their calculation results; - final report.
GB/T 22274.2—2008
6.4 If animals (such as rodents and other mammals) are used in the study, the inspector should track a certain proportion of individual animals from the time they are shipped to the research facility to the time of the household inspection. Particular attention should be paid to the following records: a) animal weight, food and/or water intake, dosage formulation and administration, etc., b) clinical observations and autopsy findings: c) clinical chemistry; d) histopathology.
7 Completion of the inspection or study review
7.1 When the inspection of the research facility or the study review is completed, the inspector should discuss his findings with the representatives of the research facility at the closing meeting and should prepare a written report, such as the inspection report. 7.2 The inspection of any large facility may reveal some minor deviations from the principles of GLP, but generally, these deviations will not be so serious as to affect the validity of the studies conducted by the testing facility. In this case, it is reasonable for the inspector to report that the institution complies with the GLP principles according to the standards set by the GLP supervision department. However, the details of the deficiencies or defects found should be provided to the testing institution, and its senior management should be assured that corrective measures will be taken. The inspector needs to return to the institution after a period of time to verify that it has taken the necessary measures.3 If a significant deviation from the GLP principles is found during an inspection or study audit of a testing facility that, in the inspector's opinion, may have affected the validity of the study or other studies conducted at the facility, the inspector should report it to the GLP oversight unit. The actions taken by the oversight unit and/or management (as applicable) will be responsive to the nature and extent of the violation and the legal and/or regulatory requirements within the GLP compliance program.
7.4 Upon completion of a study audit conducted at the request of management, a comprehensive report on the audit findings should be prepared and submitted to the relevant management via the relevant GLP oversight unit. GB/T 22274.2-2008
