The first publication of Annex 1 can be traced back to 1971 where it then described the foundational elements to ensure sterility of commercialized medicinal products. Since that time Annex 1 has undergone a number of targeted updates but only recently has undergone a full review. After two rounds of targeted consultation, with the most recent being completed July 2020, industry now waits for the final publication which is anticipated mid 2022. The Annex 1 revision has far-reaching implications for many years to come.
