(R)Evolutions of EU GMP Annex 1

Published on 02/09/2022

EU GMP Annex 1 is currently being revised. The text is becoming more structured, logical and demands a robust scientific approach.

The main changes are:

  • An extended scope: the requirements of Annex 1 are becoming applicable to non-sterile manufacturing.
  • A principle to be implemented robustly: the Contamination Control Strategy (CCS)

The design and monitoring of premises, specific technologies and cleanroom consumables are at the heart of your manufacturing processes.
