A Canadian NHP inspection record should stay attached to the establishment and inspection it describes. Health Canada’s Bulletin 9, dated 29 October 2025, identifies four useful fields: site name, inspection date, compliance rating and key observations.
The bulletin announced publication of NHP inspection results through the Drug and Health Product Inspection Database. It is a dated announcement about the resource; it is not itself an inspection report for a particular site.
Read the fields together
| Field | Question it helps resolve |
|---|---|
| Site name | Which establishment is identified? |
| Inspection date | Which inspection event is being described? |
| Compliance rating | What rating is stated for that record? |
| Key observations | What accompanying findings are actually available? |
A rating copied without a site or date can become detached from its scope. A company with several locations should not have one site’s record silently applied to all of them.
Keep the announcement separate from a lookup
A future database search should retain its own access date and the exact record opened. That distinguishes the historical announcement from the current result actually observed.
If only an overview or search snippet is available, note that level of access before summarizing findings. A blank observation field cannot be filled with a general description of inspection practice, and a site record cannot supply an unmeasured result for a supplement batch.
No database query or individual inspection was reviewed here. The article’s contribution is the set of fields described by the bulletin and how they keep a source tied to its establishment and event.
