Abstract:
The new revision of the EU GMP Annex 1 for sterile production was just issued on August 2022, and it is already acknowledged as an important challenge for the quality system of any pharmaceutical sterile production. One of the most important implementations is the requirement for the design and issue of the site Contamination Control Strategy document, a 360-degrees plan of the controls, procedures and technologies for the containment of the contamination risk of products and processes. How can such a high-level documentation be designed, assessed and issued? Let’s try and clear some aspects and expectations, when no specific guidelines and benchmarks are now available for such an overriding task.
