The main objective is to assess the adequacy and effectiveness of risk management systems and risk management plans (RMPs) in accordance with GVP Module V requirements.

By ensuring comprehensive risk management strategies are in place, the checklist helps maintain a favorable benefit-risk balance of medicinal products, thereby enhancing patient safety.

The checklist should be used by pharmacovigilance auditors, risk management specialists, regulatory affairs professionals, and medical affairs teams responsible for developing and implementing RMPs.

The checklist covers areas such as safety specification development, pharmacovigilance planning, risk minimization measure design and implementation, and the effectiveness evaluation of risk management activities.

Risk management system audits should be conducted periodically, typically annually, or more frequently when significant changes occur in the product's benefit-risk profile or regulatory requirements.
