The Certificate of Analysis (CoA) verification programme is the recurring in-house re-test that establishes — then maintains — supplier qualification under 21 CFR 111.75(a)(2). A defensible programme tests every incoming lot for identity (always) and, on a documented sampling plan, re-runs supplier assay/heavy metals/microbial data. Drift between supplier CoA and in-house values triggers tightened sampling or supplier de-qualification.

How V5 handles it
QMS — quality records next to the work they concern.
Deviations, corrective actions and quality review sit in the same system as production, so each quality record references the work order, step and lot it concerns.
Document control — one version in force, every change signed and explained.
Draft the next revision while the current one stays in use, approve it under your sign-off route, and track training on it — with the history kept.
Supplier portal — chase nothing. Score everything.
Suppliers log in, see what you need, submit it against your spec, and watch their scorecard. SCARs are raised, replied to and closed in the portal — not in your inbox.
