The World Health Organization (WHO) has published its draft working document QAS/19.81, *Quality Management System Requirements for National Inspectorates*, describing the quality management system requirements for operation of inspection services within national regulatory authorities or other state structures. WHO says it is intended that each inspection service will use the requirements as the basis for developing and implementing its own quality management system.

“The adoption of a common standard for quality management system requirements is an essential element in achieving consistency in inspection practices and facilitating structured communication with other units of the national regulatory authorities, as well as enabling mutual confidence and permitting recognition between pharmaceutical inspectorates,” the [document](https://www.who.int/medicines/areas/quality%5Fsafety/quality%5Fassurance/QAS%5F19%5F811%5FRev1%5FQuality%5FMgmt%5FSystem%5FRequirements.pdf?ua=1&ref=fdaweb.com) says.
