What is compliance?

It is easy to confuse the definition of Compliance and Quality as they complement each other.

Compliance is about being compliant with specification, policy, standard or law. Also, regulatory compliance for an organization describes the goal to achieve in their efforts to display that they are in conformity with the established regulations, guidelines or specification and government legislation.

Quality, on the other hand, is defined as products and services that deliver intended performance consistently based on the customer requirement.

For regulated industries, the regulations and guidelines for Quality System are set forth by the governing bodies such as but not limited to:

  • Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – 21 CFR Part 820
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO) – ISO 9001, ISO 13485
  • Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA)
  • Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)
  • China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA)

Besides these there are several other governing bodies that define the regulations and guidelines for the industry vertical that they represent.

How do you comply with regulation?
