GMP Audit: Incoming Goods, Stores and Weigh Up
This GMP audit checklist focuses on incoming goods, raw material stores, and weigh-up areas in manufacturing facilities. It guides auditors through people compliance and personal hygiene (hairnets, uniforms, PPE, handwashing), pest control and exclusion, building and equipment standards (walls, floors, ceilings, lighting, drains), and overall cleanliness. It covers process control documentation, tool management, and raw material handling practices including pallet condition, FIFO, storage, and forklift compliance. The checklist emphasizes foreign material control, equipment integrity, guards, and proper use of sieves, screens, and filters. Scoring rules trigger NCRs for critical issues and help teams prioritize corrective actions during GMP compliance audits.
