Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) means planning frequency, depth and scope of GMP inspections based on patient/product risk, so high-risk systems get more time and tighter sampling of evidence. A well-known RBI model notes that a risk-based approach helps determine the frequency,…

In a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), dispensing/weighing of starting materials is treated as a high-risk step because open handling of powders can drive cross-contamination, mix-ups, and operator exposure. WHO GMP therefore expects separate weighing areas designed for the purpose with dust-control…

In a risk-based inspection (RBI), Schedule M points 8.21–8.24 are assessed as packaging mix-up and contamination controls, because failures with labels/foils/leaflets can directly cause wrong product identity, wrong batch/expiry, wrong cautions, and costly recalls. 8.21 – Control of labels, cartons,…

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) increases inspection depth where the potential patient risk is highest—and packaging/label controls are always high risk because mix-ups can lead to wrong medicine, wrong strength, wrong batch/expiry and rapid recalls. CDSCO In the CDSCO RBI checklist, Schedule…

In a risk-based inspection (RBI), Schedule M points 8.16–8.17 are treated as high-severity safety and contamination-prevention controls because poor storage of solvents and inflammable materials can trigger fire/explosion, toxic exposure, environmental noncompliance, and product cross-contamination. 8.16 – Exterior storage for…

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) is a GMP approach where inspectors decide the frequency, depth and breadth of inspection using Quality Risk Management, focusing more effort on systems that can most impact patient safety and product quality. CDSCO In the RBI checklist,…

In Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), warehouse and sampling controls are treated as high-impact because a single mix-up, contamination event, or wrong status release in materials can affect multiple batches. Schedule M / WHO checklist intent for 8.10–8.12 8.10 (Schedule M): “System…

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) – Schedule M Point 8.9 (Quarantine segregation & restricted access) What 8.9 checks (RBI checklist intent): Inspectors verify how quarantined materials are segregated from other materials and how access to the quarantined area is restricted. CDSCO Why…

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) increases inspection depth for high-risk utilities like water systems, using a risk-based approach that considers facility/product risk and compliance history. CDSCO Schedule M – Point 8.8 (Microbiological monitoring of water) Schedule M 8.8 requires that there is…

Schedule M – Point 8.7 (Water & Steam Systems for sterile manufacturing) requires that there is a written procedure and program for sanitation of the different water systems—covering storage tanks, distribution lines, pumps and related equipment—and that sanitation records are…

WHO TRS 986 – Point 8.6 (Follow-up action) requires that there is an effective follow-up programme after self-inspection, and that company management evaluates both the self-inspection report and the corrective actions as necessary. In a Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), this clause…

Risk-Based Inspection (RBI) puts extra inspection depth on systems that best predict ongoing GMP control. A strong self-inspection report is one of those predictors because it shows whether the site can detect and correct risks between regulatory inspections. CDSCO’s risk-based…
