Ask a Question
The 2021 PDA Control Contamination Strategy Workshop will provide practical guidance on how to establish an effective CCS for either a new or existing drug manufacturing facility or process, according to existing regulatory standards and guidelines. It will highlight a selection of best practices and identify outdated practices and mindsets to avoid.

This workshop is based on the soon-to-be-published PDA Technical Report: Contamination Control Strategy. This technical report outlines how to implement an effective CCS using this holistic approach that covers facility design and utilities, environmental control, validation and monitoring, quality systems, people and processes.
