Day 1
Wednesday, September 23
10:00 a.m. - 11:35 a.m. | P1: The Changing Regulatory Environment for Visual Inspection |
The regulatory environment for pharmaceutical manufacturing constantly evolves. We continue to look at current hot topics in the regulations that govern visual inspection and particle control and recent and proposed revisions to these requirements. EMA Annex 1 and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) provide this guidance in Europe and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and The US Pharmacopia (USP) provide this guidance in the United States. Both regions have been actively revising their regulations and guidance on these topics. We will discuss:
