GDP Audit Tools: Checklists and Aide-Mémoires for Logistics

In Good Distribution Practice (GDP) audits, checklists and aide-mémoires are essential tools for ensuring regulatory requirements are thoroughly reviewed. They provide a structured, transparent, and traceable audit process. While checklists excel in documenting compliance, aide-mémoires offer flexibility and help auditors gain a deeper understanding of processes. For example, a checklist item may ask: “Are all temperature-controlled storage areas equipped with calibrated temperature monitoring systems?”

As part of the ECA Academy Live Online Training “GDP Audits – How to Audit Logistics Service Providers”, participants receive an exclusive Audit Checklist for Air, Road, and Ocean Freight. Developed by Dr. Zvonimir Majic, it covers:

• Quality and Risk Management System (documentation, subcontracting, training, operations)
• Air, ocean, and road transport operations
• Temperature-controlled storage facilities

This checklist supports auditors in conducting consistent, comprehensive, and efficient GDP audits.
