Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
14
General Concept/ Principles questions
Question 1
The Annex 1 revision concept paper considered the revision may cover Sterile and Non-Sterile product manufacturing.
How does the panel think guidance can be differentiated?

Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
15
General Concept/ Principles questions
Question 2
The PHSS Bio-contamination special interest group prepared a White paper on Control strategy for manufacture of sterile products and drug substances.
Does the panel believe the requirements for a Control strategy for Sterile products should be included in the Annex 1 revision?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
16
General Concept/ Principles questions
Question 3
Considering data trends are a key performance indicators what trend metrics would the panel consider should be covered in Annex 1 revision?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
17
General Concept/ Principles questions
Question 4
Should Annex 1 include more detailed guidance on Aseptic processing with the increase of aseptic processing used in manufacture of biological products that cannot be terminally sterilised?
Considering the FDA guidance to Industry provides specific guidance on Aseptic processing and currently there are just a few paragraphs in Annex 1 on Aseptic preparations.

Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
18
General Concept/ Principles questions
Question 5
Concerning the various non-injectable sterile pharmaceutical dosage forms, does the panel consider Annex 1 revision should contain more precise details or dedicated paragraphs?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
19
Question 6 - specifics
Often firms/ end users implement minimum requirements for environmental control, followed by inadequate design layout. Should Annex 1 reinforce the risk based approach over minimum requirements or replace minimum requirements with more specifics?
For example; different processes and barrier technology combinations require different background environments.
Should Annex 1 define when a Grade D (the current minimum) is not considered a suitable background when using Isolator barrier technology in ‘Open system’ Aseptic processing/ manufacturing as defined in the PHSS Bio-contamination monograph 20?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
20
Question 7 - specifics
New technologies including Rapid Micro Methods (RMM) are to be considered in the revision of Annex 1. How can conventional microbiological ‘Not to exceed’ CFU levels detailed in Annex 1 be reconciled with fluorescent based Bio-count levels for GMP compliance?
PHSS comment: It is unlikely there will be widespread adoption of RMM-RT (Real time) methods in Grade A filling zones where environmental data is considered in Batch records and higher recoveries reported as ‘Bio-counts’ will be difficult data to manage without an Annex 1 reference or guidance on correlation with CFUs.
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
21
Question 8 – specifics
In an aseptic processing area what is the expectation for grade A continuity for product contacting parts, components and their primary packaging that are sterilised out of place and then subsequently transferred for aseptic assembly.
Is there an expectation that this can be provided by double wrapping parts or is the use of UDF grade A supply transfer carts recommended?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
22
Question 9 – specifics
Is it expected to review in detail the way Annex 1 is written for years to prevent misinterpretation of some statements?
An example is the following: current paragraph 50 contains a sentence that states:
“Sinks and drains should be prohibited in grade A/B areas used for aseptic manufacture”.
Interpreting this statement a company (or several companies?) considered that it was acceptable to install a Grade B washing room that was not an aseptic manufacturing area but adjacent to a filling suite with direct operator access, therefore, the washing room was constructed with a drain and operators go in and out the washing room and the filling room during production operations?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
23
Question 10 - specifics
With the increased complexity and diversity of aseptic formulations, the classic use of nutrient media to replace the formulation for process simulation trials (PSTs) is not always feasible, or scientifically justifiable.
Alternative approaches based on risk assessment and scientific rationale could be regarded as equivalent to ensure an acceptable level of aseptic assurance. Is this approach consistent with the intent of the revised Annex 1 document?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
24
Question 11 – specifics
Concerning the MAL (Material Airlocks) can it be considered that a “two door” MAL would be sufficient from Grade D to Grade B material transfers providing it is separated with a “line” in the middle and provided the D operators will never cross that line and additionally the B operators will also not cross the same line from the other side?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
25
Question 12 – specifics
When using gamma irradiated single use systems with integrated point of fill filtration is pre use integrity testing appropriate for this set up?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 1 revision Discussion panel Questions
26
Question 13 – specifics
When factoring a facility upgrade, in terms of dispensary operations is there a regulatory move for these to be carried out as a minimum within a Grade C environment?

Data Integrity
• It is all in the GMPs for EU, USA and WHO– Chapter 4– Annex 11– 21CFR211 and Part 11
• Examples– Records include the raw data which is used to generate other records. For
electronic records regulated users should define which data are to be used as
raw data. (Eudralex Vol 4 Ch 4)
– Based on the complexity and reliability of computer systems there must be
procedural controls and technologies to ensure the accuracy and security of
computer systems, electronic records and data. Computer systems
must have
adequate controls to prevent unauthorized access or changes to data,
inadvertent erasures, or loss.(21CFR Part 211.68)

9
For a paper record the creation, modification, and deletion of data happens at the right time in the process.For an electronic record when it was created in a process, the audit trail should confirm that.
Record the activity at the time it occurred
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity ‐
Original
Paper Record
• Original Document –
Manufacturing record;
laboratory record;
Electronic Record
• Original electronic file
including metadata – a UV
spectra, FTIR spectra
10
The first record made by the appropriate person
if not original should be exact copy - Original records and true copies must preserve the integrity (accuracy, completeness, content and meaning) of the record. Exact (true) copies of original records may be retained in place of the original record (e.g. scan of a paper record), provided that a documented system is in place to verify and record the integrity of the copy. You must be able to reconstruct the activity from the data
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity – Certified Copy
• A certified copy is:– Verified by a second person– Compares the copy to the original
– Confirms the copy is accurate and complete
– Documents the verification
– Stamped a ‘true copy’
• What is not a certified copy– A pdf or printout – these are flat files of for example
• A FTIR spectra• A HPLC chromatogram
– They do not preserve the content and meaning
11
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity ‐
Accurate
• Accurate, consistent and real representation of facts.
• No editing without documented amendments /audit trail
entries by authorised personnel– Make sure of the information that you are recording is correct,
honest and transparent
– Record the data directly into the controlled unique blank record/bound book/electronic programme
– Where possible use automatic data capture
– Are the electronic record the same as the paper record
12
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity – ALCOA+
• Complete– All data from an analysis, from the start of analysis to the end
and any
repeated or reanalysis performed on the sample.
– For electronic systems, the paper output must be linked to the
underlying electronic records used to produce it.
• Consistent– All elements of the analysis, such as the sequence of events, follow on
and data files are date (all processes) and time (when using electronic
systems) stamped in the expected order
• Enduring– Recorded on authorised media e.g. laboratory notebooks, numbered
worksheets, for which there is accountability or electronic media
• Available– The complete collection of records can be accessed or retrieved for
review over the lifetime of the record.13

Data Integrity – Data Governance
14
• MHRA Definition:• The sum total of arrangements to ensure that data, irrespective of the format
in which it is generated, is recorded, processed, retained and used to ensure a
complete, consistent and accurate record throughout the data lifecycle.
– It should be integral part of the Pharmaceutical Quality System
– There should be clear Management Responsibilities
IT should be part of Management Reviews/Quality Councils
Everyone should be trained to understand the terms and implications of IT
systems
—
There should be data owners such as process owners in computer
systems
—
There has to be data integrity training
—
There has to be procedures and processes in place
—
Create a blame free, open and transparent culture

Data Integrity ‐
Impact
16
• Access to raw data for staff performing data checking
activities (MHRA)
– This is similar to the FDA GMP requirement for complete
data and for the second person review to see all data
generated in the course of an analysis.
– This means a review of the source data eg electronic HPLC
data
What about QPs certifying for release batches not made on site?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity
• The MHRA guidance (v1.0) stated that organizations are “not
expected to implement a forensic approach to data checking,
….”.
However the revised version now reads “not expected to
implement a forensic approach to data checking on a routine
basis, ….”
• QPs must ensure systems, procedures, training, culture and
management responsibilities for data integrity are clearly in
place and they have time to do this on all their suppliers to be
able to certify batches
17
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity ‐
Consequences
• So what does this mean:– What happens when data integrity is breached? The worst
case scenario is impact on patient safety and the loss of lives.
– the recent New England Compounding Pharmacy incident
in the United States can be used as an example of the
consequences of fraudulent activity. Here, 64 patients
died and over 750 were sickened from fungal meningitis as
a result of sterility negligence and data integrity issues. In
this case, a FDA official said pharmacy technicians were
instructed to lie on cleaning logs, showing rooms as being
properly cleaned when they had not been

Data Integrity ‐
Consequences
– we have to embed ALCOA+ principles into our ways of working
across the WHOLE
of the business –
Development to
commercial manufacturing
– Data generated in development impacts the Quality attributes
in commercial manufacture – the data has to be trusted
to be
complete and accurate
– Stability data supports product in the market any data integrity
concerns impact the product and may result in recall
– Data Integrity issues can result in loss licence, recalls, loss of jobs and patients not having their medicines
19
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity – Recent Issues
• pH meters and balance printers:– Date and time not locked
– Evidence of data being changed and reprinted– Undated records found in a bin
• Batch record had pre‐populated sections
• Validation protocol had typed in results that had been signed
and dated ‘on the day of the test’
• Reprints of worksheets not tracked and reconciled
20
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity – Recent Issues
• Failure to record activities at the time they are performed and
destruction of original records
• Batch records were completed after the operations had
ended
• Failed to maintain original manufacturing data for critical
steps – had uncontrolled loose paper, unbound, rough notes,
transcribed and then originals destroyed
• Back dated batch records
• Laboratory equipment lacked controls to prevent raw data
from being deleted or altered.

Data Integrity ‐
HPLCs
How do the
Part 11 regulations and "predicate rule requirements" (in 21 CFR
Part 211)
apply to the electronic records created by computerized
laboratory systems
and the
associated printed chromatograms that are used in drug manufacturing and testing?Some in industry misinterpret the following text from “The Guidance for Industry – Part 11,
Electronic Records; Electronic Signatures – Scope and Application”
(Part 11 Guidance; lines 164
to 171) to mean that in all cases paper printouts of electronic records satisfy predicate rule
requirements in 21 CFR Part 211.The printed paper copy of the chromatogram would not be considered a “true copy”
of the entire electronic raw data used to create that chromatogram, as required by 21
CFR 211.180(d). The printed chromatogram would also not be considered an “exact
and complete”
copy of the electronic raw data used to create the chromatogram, as
required by 21 CFR 211.68. The chromatogram does not generally include, for
example, the injection sequence, instrument method, integration method, or the
audit trail, of which all were used to create the chromatogram or are associated with
its validity. Therefore, the printed chromatograms used in drug manufacturing and
testing do not satisfy the predicate rule requirements in 21 CFR
Part 211. The
electronic records created by the computerized laboratory systems must be
maintained under these requirements.

Data Integrity ‐
HPLCs
Why do HPLCs attract so much attention?
•Because we don’t use them as they are meant to be used
•We treat them as we did with ‘integrators’
•We should not be running unintegrated chromatograms and
then putting in the processing parameters
•We should be:– Second person checking the sample sequence then locking it
– We should be locking the method and ALL processing parameters
– We should be using the system to generate the data at time of
analysis
– We should be giving sufficient time for the column to equilibrate and
not use ‘trial’
injections
•We should not be manually manipulating certain
chromatograms (assay, dissolution) 23
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity ‐
Issues
• The computer system access rights
– The system administrator worked in the laboratory
– The administrator must be independent of the department
– The independent department must have appropriate
procedures and controls
– The analyst/operator had the access to modify the
method/recipe
– How to modify was clearly documented in the equipment use
procedure
– Only the administrators procedures should have that level of
detail
24
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity ‐
Issues
• The HPLC system did not have proper controls in place to prevent
unauthorised manipulation of the laboratories raw electronic data.
• The HPLC systems did not have access controls to prevent
alteration or deletion of data
• The HPLC software lacked an audit trail recording any changes to
the data, including previous entries, who made changes and when
the changes were made
• The laboratory and manufacturing personnel shared common log‐
ins and passwords to access the system
• The Quality Unit was unable to retrieve the original raw electronic
data because the back‐up discs were unreadable/over written
25
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Data Integrity ‐
Conclusion
• The message for data integrity is clear.
• It’s not a new concept; it’s about getting back to the roots of training all
staff on the importance of data integrity in cGMP documentation and
honesty.
• It is critical to ensure employees understand the accountability
and
traceability requirements for retention of raw data and the consequences
of data manipulation.
• Training operators and analysts to document the performance of a task by
recording what happened at the time it occurs, including information
about the person who performed it along with clearly documenting
and
investigating deviations, is vital for patient safety and product efficacy.
• This is achievable by providing the training and creating a company
culture that promotes and rewards ethical behaviour as a core value from
top to bottom of an organization.

Annex 16:What is changing?
What are the implications?When is it going to happen?
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 16: Introduction
•
Work on revision started 4 years ago!
•
Still not issued.
•
Most recent public draft has moved on.
•
Annex 16 rebuilt and designed to:
–
Reflect increasing supply chain complexity.
–
Include new legislation.–
IMP legislation
–
Falsified Medicines Directive
–
2009 reflection paper on unexpected deviations
–
Increase consistency across the EEA.2
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Annex 16: Introduction
•
We will:
–
Pick out eleven key points.
–
Examine the controversial areas.
–
See what the practical implications may be.
–
Have some discussion.
3
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Access to MA
• 3.3. “…
it is expected that the QP has access to the necessary details of the MA…”
Hopefully obvious but now formal. Should help
the QP.
4
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Shared responsibility
• 3.3. “…responsibility may be shared with other QPs who have confirmed compliance of specified steps in
the manufacture and control of a batch…”
Reflects increased manufacturing across different companies.
Previously implicit?
Legal implications?
5
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
“Virtual”
importers
• 3.4.2. “Importation activities including at least receiving, sampling, storage of the unreleased and
uncertified batch, QC testing, certification and release should be conducted by authorised sites…”
What does “authorised”
mean?
UK currently allows physical receipt at WDA holder (with conditions).
CONTROVERSIAL.
Still not agreed!
6
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Imported batches –
location of sampling
• 3.4.6. “Samples of imported product should in full be representative of the batch and therefore, be taken
after arrival in the EEA...”
REMAINS CONTROVERSIAL
A 50/50 split across member states:– 50% accept samples being taken at manufacturing site
– 50% require at least some samples to be taken after arrival in EU.
7
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Location of sampling continued
• A further iteration allowed reliance on samples taken at manufacturing sites but with certain conditions. For
example:• Need a formal risk assessment and study to justify samples
representative (e.g. comparative analysis of samples taken in
both places).
• Review time between sampling and eventual shipment to EU.
• “Random periodic analysis of samples taken after importation...”
Reflects industry desire?
8
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Location of sampling continued
• 3.4.8. Covers further importation of the same bulk batch.
– Subsequent imported amounts should be subject to ID and assay
within EU.
– Storage and transportation “similar”
on each occasion.
– Samples originally tested should be representative of all
subsequent
batches.
ALSO REMAINS CONTROVERSIAL – PUSH TO RETAIN STATUS QUO

Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Allowable QP delegation:
• 3.5. onwards ‐
a short list of what QP must do personally.
• 3.5.4. onwards ‐
a longer list of what QP is responsible for but may delegate.
Clarifies and reflects QP codes of practice (a UK document).
10
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
API responsibilities
• 3.5.5. and 3.5.9. State QP must have supply chain knowledge and responsibility for API GMP and GDP.
– QP should have a documented supply chain available
– QP needs to ensure API manufactured and sourced according to GMP
and GDP.
Now well entrenched. Reflect Falsified Medicines Directive
11
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Parallel importing
• 3.7. A new section on parallel importation and distribution.
– QP should confirm compliance with national requirements and EU
rules on this.
– “The re‐packager should ensure that product …has been obtained
from the authorised supply chain.”
– “Re‐packager must ensure authenticity by verifying safety features
where applicable.”
Much more common than when original Annex
16 was published.
12
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Control reports
• 3.8.2. “The control report … or another proof of certification should be made available … for the batch to be exempted from controls when entering
another member state…”
This is an existing legislative requirement.
Therefore difficult to ignore!
Not widely adhered to?
13
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Audits by third parties:
• Section 4 “Relying on GMP assessments by third parties e.g. audits.”
• Six sub‐points. Quite a bit of detail……..
14
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Unexpected deviations:
• Section 5: Principle of 2009 reflection paper in Orange Guide but stripped right down.
– API, excipient and FP registered specs no room for manoeuvre–
need
a batch specific variation (in UK).
– The impact of the deviation should be assessed under a quality risk
management process such as described in Part III.
– Evaluate impact on safety, quality and efficacy.
– Consider putting on stability.
15
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Shipment under quarantine:
• 6.1. “Until a batch is released it should remain at the site of manufacture or be shipped under quarantine
to another authorised site.”
“Authorised”?
Some member states allow shipment under quarantine to a WDA holder.
Others would only allow shipment to an MIA holder.
ALSO CONTROVERSIAL
16
Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
The future:
• Final wording still not agreed.• Don’t know when final version will be issued.• Two areas in particular may change.
• Annex 21.

ISO TC209 confirms the essential attribute of a cleanroom “Air cleanliness by particle number concentration”
There has been some confusion !!ISO TC209 standards we have several different cleanliness attributes:
Airborne & surface particles
Airborne & surface chemicals
Airborne & surface micro
Question - Should we be able to designate (classify) a cleanroom by any one of the cleanliness attributes?
In October 2014, ISO TC209 clarified the position
A “cleanroom” must be characterised by air cleanliness class by particles. If other attributes are important for a particular industry or process/product, then we can monitor for these in addition.

Background to the revisions
© 2015 9September 2015
Why where the revisions to ISO 14644-1:1999 needed?
At the systematic review Vote, P-nations decided they wanted to improve standard.
Reconsider the statistical model– consider removing the need to evaluate the 95% UCL for 2-9 test locations.
When the work started, experts found problems with the existing statistical methods.
There has been 3 years debate over the statistical confidence of finding non-compliant locations when classifying a cleanroom or clean-zone.

This proposed change is not a major impact on the principle of classification .
Helps prevent poor selection of size vs class.
Means Annex 1 Grade A and B ≥5 clearly outside the ISO Class system! Means we will have to use the Macro-particle descriptor (see later).
Major discussions Good science of particle counting removes ≥ 5 micron limit for ISO5
REMEMBER that the table doesn’t represent typical distribution of particles in a cleanroom.

Simplification: The 95% UCL Evaluation for 2-9 locations has been removed.

There is a Look-up table, based on ensuring 95 % level of confidence that at least 90 % of the cleanroom or clean zone will comply with the class limit.
Will increase the number of locations up to 1000m2.For > 1000m2, very similar to the current Area rule.
Placement of sample points: Even distribution, at representativelocations In N-UDF cleanrooms with non-diffused airflow, avoid placement directly under HEPA filter supply

ISO 14644-1Changes to sampling statistics
September 2015 27© 2015
This is an important change to the basic mechanics of classification.
Organisations will have to redefine their classification sampling plans & data evaluation.
Does not affect Real-time monitoring.
Discussions How to select the locations – can be randomised or fixed.
You can add locations to deal with Risk-Based requirements.
You re-test same locations after a repair or remediation?
Can now better deal with unusually large cleanrooms > 1000 m2

Required minimum sampling locations
1. Determine the number of sample locations NL from table A1.
2. Distribute the sample locations throughout the cleanroom (or clean air device) at representitive locations (not under undiffused HEPA filter terminals).
3. Take sample at each location (as existing standard)
4. If all measured particle concentrations comply with the class limit, the classification is passed.
5. For larger rooms >1000m2, extrapolate the location density from the 1000m2 requirement.

Test methods & Instruments
ISO TC 209 has decided that each classification standard needs to have its own test method and test instrument guidance on-board.
Better than in a separate standard.
Makes revision of standards easier to keep coordinated.
Annex F imported from ISO 14644-3 with some updating.
Most important reference is ISO 21501-4:2007.
No direct impact on users.
Makes each standard more complete and easier to use.
ISO 14644-3 will now only deal with the support tests for cleanrooms: Filter leak
Airflow velocity and volume
Pressurisation
ISO 21501-4:2007 describes a calibration and verification method for a light scattering airborne particle counter (LSAPC), which is used to measure the size and particle number concentration of particles suspended in air. The light scattering method described in ISO 21501-4:2007 is based on single particle measurements. The typical size range of particles measured by this method is between 0,1 µm and 10 µm in particle size.

Distribution rights are property of the PHSS, permission must be obtained for use.
Tables of frequency removed; guidance retained in text.
Annual classification required, and after modifications, or after monitoring deviation and rectification.
Annual classification is the default minimum monitoring required, but interval can be extended if automated monitoring system provides satisfactory data.
Monitoring should include: Air cleanliness Pressure differential Airflow velocity in UDF Airflow volume in non-UDF.
This change will make it easier to use RISK BASED decision making about testing frequency.
Means if GMPs need to be specific, they can in the context of the ISO guidance.
e.g. In Pharma sector, US FDA’s 6 monthly leak testing of HEPA filters in the aseptic core.

ISO 14644-2 Essential principlesNormative
Proposed to be a simpler standard.
The minimum requirement is to undertake annual classification using ISO 14644-1. Frequency can be extended if a real-time monitoring system is used.
Reinforces that “Demonstration of control by monitoring” requires: A documented monitoring plan.

Conclusion
© 2015 38September 2015
I hope you found this update of ISO standards changes useful.
Look out for the new ISO 14644-1& 2 this year. ISO Classes 1-9 will be defined by a table.There will be changes to the details of undertaking
cleanroom classification.The classes don’t change.The existing standards from 1999 and 2000 apply until
they are superseded.

Environmental Monitoring (EM) Rapid – Real time Micro MethodsStatus of development and use in GMP/ Aseptic processingRapid – Real Time Environmental monitoring systems are developing and are
increasingly being implemented in Aseptic processing, currently in support areas
(outside grade A) and for root cause investigations
These technologies employ fluorescence based analytical systems that are
‘intervention free’
(no need to position a sample plate) with Real time feed back
in detection/ warning of Bio‐counts that are above alert and action levels hence a
change in the control state.
Conventional microbiological monitoring employs growth based systems with
inherent low recoveries. Not to exceed cfu levels/ limits defined in EU GMP
Annex 1 and FDA Guide to Industry for Aseptic processing are based on cfu’s.
RMM – RT measurements in bio‐counts are more sensitive with higher recovery
(from air samples) and subject to ‘false positives’
as a result of measuring non‐
biological fluorescing molecules e.g. cellulose.
Until EU GMP Annex 1 and PICS (FDA aligned) recognise the difference in cfu
and bio‐counts there will be limited implementation for Grade A/ ISO5
manufacturing areas where the EM data is considered in Batch release/ part of
Batch records.
