In the EU, Annex 1 describes the regulatory expectations for these aseptic processes and facilities. Over the last 7 years, there has been a revision to the 2009 rendition of the Annex. It was finally published in 2022 and represents a major step forward on the expectations for processes and facilities. In this live training session, we will explore what has changed in the Annex and discuss the implications for your operations whether it is in North America, Europe or the rest of the world. Products today are made in one location but exported worldwide so the highest standard expectation is the default if you want to stay in the market. The implications for already approved facilities as well as new construction will be discussed.

Learning Benefits:

  • Understanding how the requirements for aseptic and sterile operations have changed in the EU and beyond.
  • Regulations as they stand EMA and FDA.
  • The movement towards building more assurance into sterile product manufacture.
  • Keeping you abreast of potential future trends in aseptic operations.
  • Understanding the mind-set of the EMA.
  • How risk management plays a big role in facility design, construction, and operation.
  • Understanding whether my older facilities and processes will be grandfathered or must we upgrade.
  • Gives the tools for auditors to understand what is acceptable or no.
  • Understanding how we must plan ahead in our supply chain, so we are not left with an unprovable facility or operation.
