Overview:

The cleaning validation is the key in all the pharmaceutical companies. Cleaning validation is performed in order to confirm the effectiveness of a cleaning procedure. Many people feel that, they are complying to the cleaning validation requirements. However, at many aspects, the companies fail to comply the cleaning validation requirements and further leading to serious actions by the regulators. Because, the cleaning validation is part of the CCP (Contamination Control Concept). So, with this study, the organization can ensure and prove that the product manufactured in the facility is complying to the purity requirements and there is no possibility of cross contamination in the product.

Why you should Attend:

Many companies failed to comply the requirements. Some of the requirements and detailed below. You will understand clearly about these requirements with the practical and compliance approach for implementation.

  • Risk assessment is applied to decide on the extent of cleaning validation studies
  • Risk assessment based on product exposure is required to determine the need for validation of facility cleaning procedures
  • The rationale for selecting limits of carryover of product residues, cleaning agents and microbial contamination must be based on scientific data and risk analysis procedures
  • There is difference between finding the worst-case product and finding the worst-case limit. The attendee will understand this clearly
  • Further, on attending, you will understand about how to survive for inspection with respect to cleaning validation
