Top 5 Tips for a FDA Inspection

1. Be Inspection-Ready Always

  • Keep documentation, equipment, and facilities in a state of compliance at all times.

  • Conduct regular self-inspections and mock audits.

  • Ensure all records are updated, accurate, and readily retrievable.


2. Train Employees on GMP and Inspection Etiquette

  • Employees should know their roles and responsibilities.

  • Train staff to answer only what is asked, clearly and truthfully.

  • Remind employees not to speculate or provide unnecessary information.


3. Organize and Control Documentation

  • Have a document control system in place.

  • Make sure SOPs, batch records, validation, and training files are up to date.

  • Designate a documentation team to provide requested records promptly.


4. Establish an Inspection Response Team

  • Assign roles: escort, scribe, subject matter experts (SMEs), and management liaison.

  • The scribe should document every question and response during the inspection.

  • Ensure SMEs can explain processes clearly and consistently.


5. Maintain Transparency and Professionalism

  • Provide truthful, concise answers.

  • Admit if you don’t know something but commit to finding the answer.

  • Keep communication respectful, professional, and non-defensive.


Bonus Tip: After the inspection, review all observations immediately, perform a root cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) without delay.
