How to Make Sure Your Foreign Vendor is FDA Compliant and Stays That Way 
​
In a FDA-regulated industry, sponsor companies are only as compliant as their vendors. Any violations at the vendor are liabilities for the sponsoring company. The sponsor is held responsible for its poor vendor selection, and lack of vendor oversight. With increasing globalization of operations, vendors for all aspects of development are involved at all geographic locations. Most discussions for foreign vendor qualification are limited to manufacturing operations while clinical trials, centralized labs, and animal testing facilities have an almost equal probability of being located at a foreign site. It works both ways; sponsors using bad vendors suffer the financial, regulatory and legal consequences, while for vendors with bad history, it is hard to find new business. Hence, just like the sponsor, vendors also need to assure that the client is suitable and will not cause major issues later.
