FDA inspections, EU inspections and audits

See for yourselves

Our customers visit us on a regular basis to audit our facilities and quality systems. Over 200 such audits took place since the company’s foundation – all to the customers’ satisfaction.

We are also looking back on a long and outstanding track record of inspections from European and US authorities. ChemCon's quality has repeatedly been confimed by the inspectors: Since and including the very first inspection in 2000 by the FDA, ChemCon has never received a critical observation!
