Quality Systems Audits
An independent audit of quality systems, whether required by law or not, is the best way for a company to ensure that its quality systems and those of its suppliers and/or contract manufacturers are safe and effective. Our audit specialists are board-certified in Regulatory Affairs (RAC) by the Regulatory Affairs Professional Society or in Quality Auditing (CQA) by the American Society for Quality and are HACCP or OSHA trained. Quality systems audits can include:

• Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) Audits
• General GMP/Factory Quality/Capabilities Audits
• Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) Audits
• OSHA Audits
• Sanitation Audits

Product Inspections
The STR Group Companies can provide pre-shipment and in-process inspection programs designed to eliminate many of the uncertainties associated with global sourcing.  Final product inspections, packaging, and shipping are important areas that need to be evaluated to ensure that your product is safe, reliable, and conforms to appropriate standards and specifications that have been agreed upon between you and your supplier. 

Social Compliance Assessments
The ongoing monitoring of a supply chain is an integral part of a corporate social responsibility program. The STR Group Companies can provide social compliance assessments and programs to ensure the integrity of your supply chain; provide valuable guidance on preventive and corrective actions; reduce risk of legal sanctions; and prevent adverse public exposure.
