This IG Meeting will address the hot topics of the Annex 1 Revision on Visual Inspection and on Container Closure Integrity.

On 20 December 2017, the long-awaited Annex 1 Revision of the EU GMP Guidelines was finally published. While the currently valid Annex 1 only touches on the important topics of container closure integrity control and visual inspection rather briefly, the revision offers a number of innovations.

The new requirements issued with this amendment provoke further discussion of the correct understanding and implementation.

We are excited to announce our 2018 Visual Inspection Interest Group Meeting with the main focus on the impact of the Annex 1 Revision on Visual Inspection and on Container Closure Integrity.

The PDA Interest Groups are discussion forums, each with a highly focused topic of interest. The main idea behind this workshop is to engage in questions raised by attendees and to have a more in-depth discussion compared to the usual presentation-driven meetings. You are invited to contribute and provide your questions to the group, and together develop possible solutions to these challenging issues. Industry experts will be participating to help facilitate the discussion.

As a thematic framework, the IG Leaders have chosen the following topics for this exciting workshop:

Container Closure Integrity Testing – The Impact of the Annex 1 Revision
- Choosing the right techniques and meeting new standards
- Which requirements apply for different containers?
Visual Inspection – Understanding and Implementing the Annex 1 Revision
- Impact of worst case scenarios
- New implications for semi-automated inspection
- Accepted Quality Levels
