The Study in Risk-Based Manufacturing Environmental Control for Non-Sterile Drug Products (English Translation) (single user digital version)

There are very few documents available that provide guidance regarding to requirements for non-sterile drug manufacturing. The Kansai Study Group (KSG) of the PDA Japan Chapter (JPDA) published this paper to offer some consensus-based ideas to help pharmaceutical manufacturers establish appropriate, risk-based manufacturing and environmental control systems for quality products.

The KSG conducted a survey of JPDA member companies regarding their current practices in an effort to develop best practices around what environmental controls and maintenance are required for manufacturing non-sterile drug products.

They determined the five most common themes — HVAC systems, facilities, gowning, cleaning, and cleanliness standards — and developed a new approach to the maintenance and control methods of the manufacturing environment based on risks applicable specifically to the manufacture of non-sterile drug products. For each of these themes, a problem is stated, recommendations are proposed, and a rationale is provided.
