About Quality Assurance
and Quality Control
Quality assurance is crucial to ensure that the quality, safety, and efficacy of a product adhere to the requirements.
The details of quality assurance include cooperation and division of responsibilities with sales companies for each product to provide highly reliable products through communication with customers, markets, regulatory authorities, business partners, and internal departments. TOA Pharmaceuticals can handle a variety of business formats, including integrated manufacturing (manufactured and sold by our company), outsourced manufacturing (manufacturing at our company and outsourced to other companies), contract manufacturing (products manufactured by other companies sold by our company), outsourced testing services (our company testing products manufactured by other companies), and outsourced development.
In accordance with the company philosophy and code of compliance conduct, TOA Pharmaceuticals has positioned quality assurance as an activity to prevent products with issues or concerns regarding quality, efficacy, and safety from being marketed.
