ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for improving the operation efficiency of drug quality sampling and inspection in China . METHODS :Starting from the application and management situation of inspection standards/methods in provincial inspection institutions ,the problems existing in the application and management of inspection standards/methods in provincial inspection institutions were analyzed ;the inspection standards/methods database of provincial inspection institutions is attempted to build,combining with the relevant experience and practices of FDA. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS :The inspection methods involved in drug sampling and inspection could be divided into official standards and non-standard methods. Official standards were the main standards for drug sampling and inspection ,and were mainly used for routine inspection. Such kind of standards could be classified according to the characteristics of compiled ,single-page and later-issued supplementary ;an electronic catalogue should be established for unified management. Non-standard methods were only used for sample preliminary screening ,verification of official inspection results ,quality evaluation and inspection of unknown or suspicious samples in emergency inspection. Its tracking,collection and management mechanisms were not yet complete. It is recommended to draw on the experience of drug sampling and inspection in the United States so as to establish method database hierarchically. For the mature method established in drug supervision system ,an electronic catalog and document content database should be established and the method should be confirmed before use ;for national standards and the recommended methods published by authoritative institutions in other industries,and mature methods published in scientific and technological literature ,the retrieval channels should be listed ,the methods should be verified ,reviewed and approved before use ,and an electronic catalogue should be established and recorded in time after use. The electronic catalogue format of non-standard methods generally include controlled number ,applicable variety name,method name ,inspection items ,etc.
