What is WHOPIR ?



The World Health Organization Public Inspection Reports (WHOPIR) is a summary of the inspection report of
  • a manufacturing site for Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs);
  • a manufacturing site for Finished Products (FPs);
  • an organization such as a Contract Research Organization where a bioequivalence study or other clinical study had been performed (CROs);
  • a quality control laboratory
The WHOPIR reflects the inspection report and gives a summary of the observations and findings made during the inspection, but excludes confidential proprietary information. It indicates also the date and duration of the inspection as well as  the scope of the inspection.

After a period of three years, WHOPIRs are moved to the section marked "Archived WHOPIRs". If a site is inspected and found to be non-compliant with GMP after a WHOPIR was issued following  a previous inspection, that WHOPIR will be removed from the web site (as the site is then no longer considered compliant with GMP).
