PIC/S: Revision of GMP Guide includes new EU Annex 1

The Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S) has again revised its GMP Guide. Changes have been made to include the new EU Annex 1 on Sterile Manufacturing of Medicinal Products, which enters into force on Friday, 25 August 2023. From this same date, the PIC/S GMP Guide will also be valid.

Did you know?

PIC/S actively participated in the development of this important document alongside the WHO. Having been adopted by both organisations, Annex 1 of the EU GMP Guide now applies on a global basis.

Please find the PIC/S Guide (PE 009-17) here.
