EU GMP: Consultation Deadline for Annex 1 Extended to July

On 30 April 2020, the European Commission has announced to extend the time frame for the second consultation on Annex 1 Manufacture of Sterile Products until 20 July 2020. This step is justified by the challenges arising in connection with COVID-19.

The second draft can only be commented by selected organisations and associations. In parallel, the document will be submitted to PIC/S and WHO (we reported). The Commission would like to point out that all participants who have already submitted their comments are entitled to revise their contribution if they wish. Only their latest comments will then be considered.

There’s Something in the Air – Cleanroom Technology in the Pharmaceutical Industry

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, clean air is not a subjective perception but a precisely controlled technical condition that is essential for product safety. Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems ensure, through airflow management, air filtration and pressure control, that particles and microorganisms are kept away from critical areas. This is based on clearly defined requirements for air changes, cleanliness classes, airflow patterns and pressure concepts, all of which are designed according to the manufacturing process and contamination risk involved.
