The UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising and Direct & Promotional Marketing (CAP Code), enforced by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), governs claim wording for supplements in the UK. Section 15 (Food, food supplements and associated health or nutrition claims) requires that any health claim already be authorised under the GB Nutrition & Health Claims Register (the post-Brexit successor to Regulation (EC) 1924/2006). Unauthorised disease claims are referred to MHRA as borderline medicines; misleading nutrition claims are ASA-actioned with public adjudication.

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.

Score your compliance gap — then download the validation pack.

A guided self-assessment walks you against the regulator clauses that apply to your industry. The validation pack — IQ/OQ scripts, traceability matrix, risk assessment, intended-use statement — generates from the same evidence so you can hand it to an auditor on day one.
