What is a pharmaceutical cleanroom? Standards of pharmaceutical cleanrooms
Pharmaceutical cleanrooms are a must for pharmaceutical factories. In order for the factory to be licensed to operate production, clean rooms must meet many strict standards and requirements. So what is a pharmaceutical cleanroom? What standards do pharmaceutical factories meet when building clean rooms? GMP Groups will answer the above questions through the following article.
What is a pharmaceutical cleanroom?
Clean rooms are specially designed workspaces. There, parameters such as urinary concentration, temperature, humidity, pressure, microbial limits,… Controlled and restricted.
Clean rooms are often applied to areas that require strict safety and quality requirements. Those areas include surgical, pasteurization, cosmetics manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, electronic components.
Pharmaceutical cleanroom is a cleanroom system applied in the field of pharmaceutical production. Thanks to cleanrooms, medicines and medical equipment are produced in sterile environments, according to the best production and storage standards. From there, the undesirable effects in the process of using pharmaceuticals are minimized.
Pharmaceutical Production CleanRoom
Why do pharmaceutical companies need clean rooms?
Pharmaceuticals are products that directly impact human health. They need to be strictly controlled for safety and quality requirements right from the stage of production.
In the production process, the environment is the factor that most affects the quality of the product. Therefore, the environmental stages of open contact with the product must be strictly controlled. In the pharmaceutical cleanroom, the clean area is maintained at appropriate clean standards, the air is filtered through the filter membrane with appropriate filtration performance, people and/or machinery equipment, raw materials are passed through the airlocks. The above factors have ensured that the pharmaceutical production process reaches sterile levels.
As such, cleanrooms are a mandatory and indispensable factor in pharmaceutical factories. When appraising, cleanrooms also play a decisive role in the pharmaceutical plant meeting GMP standards.
Cleanrooms are a must for pharmaceutical factories.
Requirements and standards of pharmaceutical cleanrooms
In order to be granted a production eligibility license, pharmaceutical factories need to meet the strict criteria of facilities, personnel and quality management system of cleanrooms.
Clean levels
Depending on the product produced, the cleanroom is divided into various levels of cleanliness. This is aimed at controlling environmental factors, especially urinary concentration and microbial limits. In areas with cleanroom applications, cleanroom levels are classified on the ISO 14644 platform. From here, the Good Manufacturing Practice Guide (GMP) has classified cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical sector into 4 levels. This classification is based on the maximum number of sub-stools in the air. Concrete:
Principles of design and construction of pharmaceutical cleanrooms
In order to control environmental factors well, cleanrooms must adhere to the following principles:
Design and layout
Clean rooms must be designed and arranged so that production is carried out in successive areas in a reasonable order corresponding to the order of production activities.
Working area
During the production process, there must be enough area to arrange machinery and materials in order and reasonable. It is necessary to minimize the risk of confusion between products or components of the product. Avoid cross-contamination, minimize the risk of omissions or misalisnment of any production steps, inspections.
Contact surface
The surface of the clean room where direct contact with the open product must be smooth, without cracks, open joints. The surface must not be the source of accumulation and feces. They must allow for easy and effective cleaning of disinfection.
Difficult area to clean
Ducts, light troughs, ventilation points and other services must be designed and installed so as to avoid creating difficult niches for cleaning. At the same time, it is required to carry out maintenance and access to these services from outside the production area.
Drainage
The drainage lines must be large enough, designed and equipped to avoid reflux. If possible, avoid open drainage. In case the open exit is necessary, it is recommended to build a farm for easy cleaning and disinfection.
Ventilation
Cleanrooms must be well ventilated, have air control equipment (including air filtration equipment at sufficient levels to prevent contamination and cross-contamination as well as temperature control, and humidity if necessary) in accordance with the products being processed, in accordance with the operation performed and with the external environment.
