About the Webinar
Cleaning validation in non-sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing is moving towards a risk-based approach. This is a significant change in all aspects for the industry. In this presentation we will summarise the global regulatory guidelines leading to all the changes for cleaning and its validation within the pharmaceutical industry. Included in the review will be the guide to inspection of cleaning validation from the FDA, as well as ICH-Guidelines Q7A and Q9 and the ASTM E3106-18 Standard Guide for Science-Based and Risk-Based Cleaning Process Development and Validation. Further, the guidance documents from ISPE - Cleaning Validation Lifecycle - Applications, Methods and Controls and the Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-Operation Scheme document PIC/S PI 006-3 as well as Annex 15 of the EU Guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products for Human and Veterinary Use will be discussed. The main objective of this presentation is to enable understanding of the regulatory landscape and the detailed requirements from regulatory guidance documents that relate to the risk-based cleaning validation approach
