QUESTION: Thanks Michael,
I have further questions. (1) Should we require to Analyze the bag OR vendor certificate is sufficient in Audit view point? (2)I shall be very thankful to you if you can provide any specification, literature, guidance document how to analyze the bag!

thank you very much

Answer
You must, I repeat MUST, personally audit the bag fabricator - and take someone with you who knows the technology (I have been involved with FBD's for over 20 years and can assist, but I charge - contact me off-line at consulting@globepharm.org).

As for the specifications, etc., you should not need to analyze the bag, but you must have faith that the supplier's COA is accurate. Each manufacturer's bag is different with different ingredients, so I cannot provide content details.
