FAQ

Questions we hear first.

Can you work only on the documents?

Yes. We write the plan and protocols and your team executes, or we execute with you, or we run it on site.

What happens after a change to the machine?

We assess the change impact and requalify only what the change touches, with a written rationale.

Do you do CSV and CSA?

Yes, for production and lab systems, risk-based to GAMP 5 and the FDA CSA guidance.

Do you sign an NDA, and who owns the results?

Yes. Techkrates signs your NDA before the first technical details, and the designs, documents and data made for your project belong to you.

In which language are the documents?

German or English, in your templates and your document numbering.
