EuBIS Common Criteria for the Inspection of Blood Establishments (Manual)

The objective of this manual is to set out a methodology for inspecting blood establishments based on the European Commission’s directive requirements related to ensuring the quality and safety of blood. It is the result of a collaborative effort of representatives from 27 governmental institutions, blood establishments and competent authorities participating in the EuBIS project co-funded by the European Commission. In this context, the EuBIS project is the first project that has brought together regulators and manufacturers to jointly develop criteria and standards.

The manual is aimed to assist

  • blood establishments in need to optimise their quality system and self-inspection process related to the EU blood directive.
  • blood establishments to prepare for regulatory inspections by competent authorities, and
  • competent authorities, which wish to use the manual and training guide as a reference for the implementation process of the European blood legislation related to regulatory inspections.
The manual is accompanied by an audit / inspection training guide to assist the inspection process. It also contains master templates of key documents used during the inspection. These documents give examples for the implementation of good practice (GP) as defined by the EU blood directives.
