ICH Q7 — Good Manufacturing Practice for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients
ICH Q7 — Good Manufacturing Practice for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients — 80% covered.
5 requirements · 4 enforced · 0 designed · 0 advisory · 0 deferred.
Source: ICH Q7 provides guidance on Good Manufacturing Practice for the manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), covering quality management and the independent Quality Unit, records and data integrity, batch production and release, and the responsibilities for releasing or rejecting APIs. KYE Protocol™ governs whether an AI-generated GMP record (a batch record entry, a deviation, a release recommendation) may PROCEED to a consequential action — Quality-Unit approval, lot release, or use in a dossier — under a named Quality Unit / QP authority, with a data-integrity / ALCOA+ screen recorded before the action and replay-provable provenance, with §36 two-person sign-off on the irreversible lot release. KYE does not manufacture the API, run the analysis, or judge whether the batch meets specification. · License: ICH guidelines are published by the International Council for Harmonisation; KYE registry paraphrases each requirement's intent and cites the official identifier for mapping purposes only.
