Riccardo Longato

Riccardo audits suppliers, CMOs and his clients’ own sites against EU GMP, GDP and GACP, and he leads Clear’s consultancy on the same subjects, from GACP compliance for growers and the step to EU GMP to Pharmaceutical Quality Systems, external QA and training. On a single site he either audits or advises, because Clear does not audit a site it has advised. Clear issues no certificates and is not a certification body.
