This standard provides a lifecycle approach using a holistic evaluation of contamination control systems designed to minimize and/or prevent contamination during aseptic processing and ultimately ensure the safety of the products when delivered to the patient. The standard is also applicable to aseptic processes used to manufacture sterile products, terminally sterilized products, as well as low bioburden processes in the manufacture of regulated healthcare products. It is applicable to pharmaceutical, biological, and ATMP (Advanced Therapeutic Medicinal Products) products. This standard does not supersede or replace regulatory requirements, such as Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) and/or compendial requirements that pertain to a particular national or regional jurisdiction.
