Annex 1 of the European Union’s Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines sets out the requirements for the manufacture of sterile medicinal products. To become Annex 1 compliant, a pharma company needs to ensure that its manufacturing processes and facilities meet the standards outlined in the guideline.

The following are some of the key requirements that a pharma company must fulfill to become Annex 1 compliant:

  1. Facility design and layout: The manufacturing facility should be designed to ensure proper segregation of different manufacturing areas, to minimize the risk of contamination.
  2. Environmental monitoring: The manufacturing area must be monitored for viable and non-viable particles, temperature, humidity, and pressure differentials.
  3. Personnel qualification and training: Personnel involved in the manufacture of sterile medicinal products must be appropriately qualified and trained to perform their tasks.
  4. Aseptic processing: The manufacturing process must be designed to ensure that the product is not contaminated during processing.
  5. Cleaning and disinfection: The manufacturing area must be regularly cleaned and disinfected to prevent contamination.
