Quality Assurance (QA): The regulatory requirement set forth in 40 CFR Part 160 (the FIFRA Good Laboratory Practice Standards) that mandates an internal monitoring program. The IR-4 QA program monitors study conduct, record keeping, reporting and record retention processes and reports to testing facility management and study directors any observations/findings that do not meet the required GLP standards. Those reported findings with recommended corrective actions are then to be responded to and the appropriate corrections documented by study conduct/study management personnel.

QA Team Resources Have Moved
We’ve updated our web spaces! Internal team member tools and resources have migrated to our dedicated intranet site at ir4intranet.org. Find QA Resources under “QA.”
IR-4 team members: visit the IR-4 Intranet to access eQA/eDOCs, QA monitoring checklists, GLP Handbook, FAQ and other materials that directly support the IR-4 QA program.
