External Site Qualification

Last updated: Dec 5, 2025

If you’re going to work with a supplier or other external organization to provide you with a material or service, you need to prove that you’ve done your due diligence to ensure that they are compliant and meet GxP requirements and determined that they are qualified for you to work with.

Supplier Quality Management (SQM) is the process by which you record and track the outcome of that due diligence in Vault.
