Stringent quality assurance
systems are required to ensure
that products adhere to the re-
quired standards from source
to appearance on the market.
Vital elements to the process
of quality assurance include
factory system reviews, docu-
mentation verification, opera-
tion control and an assessment of the suppliers of raw
materials. The management and evaluation of raw mate-
rials and chemicals, including chemical substances and
their components therein, is also of utmost importance
in a thorough and stringent quality assurance system.
Mechanisms that enable the consistent and fair evalu-
ation of new components and suppliers also need to be
established in order to ensure that no restricted chemical
substance poses a threat to the quality of the finished
product or even makes an appearance on the production
line.
