What does Quality mean at PBL (regulated environment)?
Correct Answer
A. An objective definition that means meet requirements
Explanation
Quality at PBL in a regulated environment is defined objectively as meeting the specified requirements. This means that the products or services provided by PBL must adhere to the predetermined standards and criteria set by regulations. The subjective aspect of quality, which involves exceeding expectations, is not applicable in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is an objective definition that means meet requirements.

What distinguishes a test article from a control article?
Correct Answer
B. A test article is subjected to the test system and is received from the customer.
Explanation
A test article is distinguished from a control article by the fact that it is subjected to the test system and is received from the customer. This means that the test article is specifically chosen and provided by the customer for testing purposes. In contrast, a control article is typically used as a standard or reference for comparison with the specimens being tested.
8.
What is NOT a test system?
Correct Answer
C. Items removed from an animal for further study by histopathology
Explanation
The correct answer is "Items removed from an animal for further study by histopathology." This is because the question asks for something that is NOT a test system, and the other options listed (any animal, plant or microorganism, reagents and workspace around the experiment) can all be considered test systems in some way. However, items removed from an animal for further study by histopathology are not considered a test system themselves, but rather samples taken from a test system for analysis.
9.
The QAU
Correct Answer
A. Checks the work of the study director
Explanation
The Quality Assurance Unit (QAU) is responsible for ensuring that all aspects of a study are conducted in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations. This includes checking the work of the study director to ensure that they are following the approved protocol and conducting the study properly. Therefore, the statement "Checks the work of the study director" is correct as it accurately describes one of the responsibilities of the QAU in a GLP study.
