GMP Fundamentals Bundle Series - Limited Offer

Commissioning and Qualification Training Course

Science and Risk-based Commissioning and Qualification - Applying the ISPE Baseline Guide, Volume-5, Second Edition: Commissioning and Qualification (T40)

Overview

Worldwide Regulatory expectations and guidance as led by FDA and the EU have stated that all Pharmaceutical Quality Systems should apply a QRM (Quality Risk Management) approach. Through interactive workshops, this course will explain and apply the science and risk-based approach to integrated lifecycle Commissioning & Qualification by conducting verification of systems, equipment and facilities in accordance with the recently issued 2nd Edition Guide, ICH documents Q8 (R2), Q9, and Q10, current Regulatory Guidance, industry best practices, and ASTM E2500.

NOTE: It is strongly recommended that participants be familiar with basic concepts of commissioning and qualification prior to attending this course.

Additional Course Details

Implementing ASTM Standard for Verification

Applying the principles of ICH Q9 (Quality Risk Management) and ASTM E2500-07 ensures GMP facilities and equipment are "fit for use," perform satisfactorily, and may be used in the manufacturing, processing, packaging, and holding of a drug. This webinar reviews this approach and identifies critical aspects of manufacturing systems that will provide the focus for qualification/verification activities and allow for Good Engineering/Commissioning Practices to apply throughout the project lifecycle.

Learning Objectives:

  • Relate the ASTM Standard to GMP regulations and guidance documents
  • Explain the regulatory foundation for the risk-based approach
  • Understand the 2001 ISPE Baseline® Guide: Commissioning and Qualification and how it links to new concepts in the ISPE Guide: Science and Risk-Based Approach for the Delivery of Facilities, Systems, and Equipment
  • Differentiate qualification versus verification
  • Differentiate between the new risk assessment approach versus the old one
  • Understand how the new USFDA Process Validation links to ASTM E2500
  • Understand the details on verification process flow
  • Implement verification through the C&Q process (FAT, SAT, IV, FV, PT)
  • Understand ways GEP can be used as a foundation for verification
  • Understand the relationship between ICH Q9, ASTM E2500, and ISPE Baseline Guide, Volume 5, 2nd Edition: Commissioning and Qualification.
  • Discuss the information necessary to develop Requirements Documents that will support a science and risk-based approach to focus the qualification effort. Given the necessary information and a list of requirements, identify those that are necessary for product quality and those that are business/safety related.
  • Apply risk management throughout the design and verification phases. Explain the link between risk assessments, design review, and quality risk management.
  • Understand and examine the development of a C&Q/Verification Strategy that incorporates use of vendor testing, construction quality assurance, site acceptance testing, installation checks, and functional testing.
  • Know what is involved in a system Acceptance and Release report given requirements, critical aspects/critical design elements, and verification test results in compliance with a verification strategy.
  • Outline the use of GAMP® 5 principles in support of system delivery of a packaged system inclusive of mechanical and control system elements.
  • Summarize US / EU / SFDA / and WHO regulatory requirements and expectations that may influence application of a science and risk-based approach.
