Now available: Chapter on Contamination Control Strategy in the GMP Compliance Adviser

In the context of the revised Annex 1 (we reported), the Contamination Control Strategy (CCS) is currently an issue everyone is talking about. This concept must be implemented by 25 August 2023 – when Annex 1 comes into force.

The CCS is an overview document, similar to the Site Master File (SMF), and will play an important role in future inspections. The knowledge portal GMP Compliance Adviser provides important information on this topic. The new chapter explains what is meant by Contamination Controll Strategy and which topics it should include. You will also find helpful tips on how to put this requirement into practice.

For further information you can subscribe to the GMP Compliance Adviser. In this way, you gain access to current regulations and valuable practical tips for everyday GMP work.
