The guidance document describes certain reporting and recordkeeping responsibilities associated with these arrangements, including the following: (1) Notification of all important proposed changes to production and facilities; (2) notification of results of tests and investigations regarding or possibly impacting the product; (3) notification of products manufactured in a contract facility; and (4) standard operating procedures. The notifications of the requested information provides the appropriate parties with the necessary information regarding any cooperative manufacturing arrangements.
