PURPOSE.

The FDA uses quality systems to control, assure, and improve the effectiveness of the processes used to deliver a quality product or service. This Guide defines the essential quality elements for management to address in any quality system that controls an internal FDA regulatory activity and relevant management, facility, purchasing, and information technology support.

This document is intended to assist FDA management and staff to

* review their current quality activities,
* identify quality system elements that may already exist, and
* identify additional elements needed to implement a quality system.
