Quality Assurance

Overview

At Zarqa University's Pharmaceutical Research Centre (PRC-ZU), our Quality Assurance Department forms a crucial aspect of our research and development process. With an unwavering commitment to upholding the utmost standards of research, safety, and efficacy, our goal is to ensure that all activities align with international standards and regulations, as well as university guidelines. A team of committed professionals partners with researchers, lab staff, and other stakeholders, guaranteeing the validity, reliability, and honesty of research outcomes.

Our Quality Management Framework

PRC-ZU's QA Department adopts a robust Quality Management System (QMS) to persistently supervise and enhance the Centre's research procedures, thereby ascertaining superior quality research. This strategy hinges on globally acknowledged quality standards, inclusive of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP), which we stringently apply. Alongside GLP, we also adhere to Good Documentation Practices (GDP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Our meticulous and exhaustive documentation systems and regular audits confirm that all activities are accurately documented, with data easily accessible for review and scrutiny. Our QMS also incorporates training initiatives for researchers and staff to stay abreast of the latest industry protocols and innovations.

JFDA Approval and Adherence to GLP Standards

We are proud to announce that our center has achieved a significant milestone in its journey toward excellence. The Pharmaceutical Research Centre at Zarqa University has earned the approval of the FDA to conduct pre-clinical studies. This approval came after an exhaustive inspection of our center, conducted according to the stringent standards of Good Laboratory Practices (GLP). This not only validates our unwavering commitment to adhering to globally recognized quality standards but also reinforces our dedication to advancing impactful and groundbreaking research in pharmaceuticals. The FDA's approval further strengthens our resolve to continue delivering high-quality, reliable, and innovative pre-clinical studies.

A Cooperative Approach to Quality Assurance

At the core of our QA Department's methodology lies collaboration. By fostering an environment of open dialogue and teamwork, we are able to maintain premier levels of quality and safety. Our QA team collaborates extensively with PRC-ZU's various research divisions and external associates, ensuring our research methodologies remain transparent and compliant. Through consistent meetings, workshops, and mutual assessments, we continually appraise and refine our processes to contribute to the creation of safe and efficient pharmaceutical products capable of enhancing patient lives worldwide.

Striving for ISO 17025 Accreditation

In our pursuit to offer clients superior research services, PRC-ZU is working towards achieving ISO 17025 accreditation—an internationally recognized standard for testing and calibration laboratories. By obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation, we can offer our clients an additional layer of confidence that our laboratories meet the highest standards of technical competence, impartiality, and consistency. We are confident that this accreditation will further strengthen our standing in the field of pharmaceutical research, reinforcing our commitment to excellence.
