Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme

The Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S) is an international organization that brings together regulatory authorities and pharmaceutical companies to promote harmonized standards for quality manufacturing of medicines. By sharing inspection information and best practices, PIC/S aims to ensure that pharmaceutical products are safe, effective, and consistently produced. This cooperation reduces duplication of inspections, strengthens regulatory oversight globally, and helps manufacturers meet high-quality standards, ultimately safeguarding public health.
