Annex 1 Resource Center
Annex 1 Resource Center
Practical guidance for turning EU GMP Annex 1 requirements into robust contamination control strategies.
Explore expert insights, practical resources and webinars covering contamination control, cleanroom design, personnel, utilities and the day-to-day implementation of Annex 1 requirements.
From Requirements to Practice
Making Annex 1 Work in Practice
EU GMP Annex 1 has raised expectations for contamination control across sterile manufacturing. But compliance goes beyond addressing individual requirements.
Facilities need to translate Annex 1 into an effective Contamination Control Strategy (CCS), supported by appropriate cleanroom design, personnel practices, utilities, monitoring and risk-based decision-making.
This resource center brings together practical QbD Group guidance to help you assess risks, strengthen your CCS and turn Annex 1 requirements into day-to-day practice.
