Before beginning an on-site audit, the following Check List for Visitors points should be considered:
- Make a plan.
- Review previous audits and note any potential problem areas or items flagged for corrective action.
- Learn about the type of product produced here and how it is arranged by personnel and function if unfamiliar with the facility.
Using the WHO-GMP Document Checklist can help you understand the requirements during visits to the premises.

However, creating a WHO-GMP Document Checklist is not a simple task. It can take a long time to create, execute, and maintain a complete checklist.
