FAQs

The checklist covers key phases such as project planning, gap analysis, knowledge transfer, analytical method transfer, process transfer, equipment qualification, validation activities, and post-transfer monitoring.

Technology transfer audits should be conducted for each transfer project, with key checkpoints at the initiation, during critical transfer stages, and upon completion of the transfer process.

Technology transfer audits are typically conducted by a cross-functional team including quality assurance personnel, technology transfer specialists, process engineers, and subject matter experts from both the sending and receiving sites.

Non-compliance issues can lead to failed transfers, product quality deviations, production delays, increased costs, regulatory submission challenges, and potential impacts on product availability in the market.

By providing a structured approach to technology transfer, this checklist helps ensure comprehensive knowledge transfer, proper documentation, effective risk management, and successful process implementation at the receiving site, ultimately leading to faster and more reliable transfers.
