EPiC Auditors Autumn Compliance Seminar: Thursday 10th November 2022

Here’s what our speakers have to say about the event;

“A condition of holding an MIA and WDA(H) is that the guidelines on GMP and GDP are complied with. Sustaining the required level of compliance is a must to ensure medicinal products of the right quality are manufactured and distributed and avoid regulatory action. My presentation on Future-proofing compliance will explore what licence holders can and should do to continually improve and not only fulfil but exceed this requirement.” 

Richard Andrews, EPiC Auditors Managing Director & Senior Consultant

With the deadline for the implementation of Annex1 fast approaching, now is a great time to consider the implications for your sterile processes.  At the EPiC Autumn Compliance Seminar, I will roadmap those areas of the new Annex 1 that may result in many future sterility assurance deficiencies – a roadmap of the hotspots. This session will complement the session from Rick Parker of the MHRA, who will provide the latest MHRA thinking on Annex 1. A great opportunity to get ahead of the Annex 1 changes!

Darren Jones, EPiC Auditors Director & Senior Consultant

February 2021 is the date by when the 34 CEN nations (primarily Europe and Turkey) have to implement EN 17141:2020 as a national standard. This new Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments – Biocontamination control standard, sets expectations for risk assessment, viable contamination control, viable monitoring methodology and monitoring frequency.

The new standard applies to pharmaceutical, medical device, hospital/healthcare and food cleanrooms. EN 17141:2020 covering microbiological contamination sits nicely alongside the ISO 14644 series that relates to cleanroom non-viable contamination monitoring and classification.
