Facilities and Engineering

The Facilities and Engineering Interest Group provides a forum for the discussion of topics and interests related to the design, construction, operation and maintenance of the production and research facilities used for GMP and GLP purposes. Discussions are held in conjunction with two of the PDA meetings: the Annual Meeting and the PDA/FDA Joint Conference, as well as a discussion forum on the PDA website.

The format of the Facilities and Engineering Interest Group meetings are an open forum for discussion, where attendees select the topic for discussion and the leader moderates the discussion of peers seeking to reach a better understanding of regulatory expectations and opportunities to share and learn best practices. Where appropriate, the Facilities and Engineering Interest Group will compile these understandings and best practices into technical reports with the contributions and review of interested members.
