System Impact and Component

Criticality

• Indirect Impact or No Impact system are comprised of non-critical components only

• Direct Impact system have both critical and non-critical components. (Components deemed non-critical may be managed within Good Engineering Practices (GEP) alone)

• Design for Impact reduces the scope of the system and components to Qualification Practices allowing appropriate focus on the components presenting a risk to product quality

• Should an Indirect Impact or No Impact system incorporate one or more critical components, either the system has been mis-classified or the component was wrongly assessed.

Page 17: Qualification and Routine Environmental Monitoring of ... · PDF file1 Qualification and Routine Environmental Monitoring of Critical Utility Systems 21th Annual Validation Week Day

Component Criticality Assessment

Process (Continued)

• Applicability of any of the following criteria to

a given component will provide an indication

that component is critical:4. Information from the component is recorded as part of

the batch record, lot release data or other GXP related

documentation.

5. The component has direct contact with product or

product components

6. The component controls critical process elements that

may affect product quality, without independent

verification of the control system performance.

7. The component is used to create or preserve a critical

status of a system.

Clean Room Standards

• This ISO committee will produce 10 new standards documents that relate to cleanrooms or clean zones (described below). The first two standards have been published: ISO 14644-1 and -2.

– The first document, ISO 14644-1, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments Part 1: Classification of airborne particulates has been released as a final document.

– The second document, ISO 14644-2, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments Part 2: Testing and monitoring to prove continued compliance with ISO 14644-1; has been released as a final document.

Clean Room Standards

• The cleanliness classification levels defined by FS209E and ISO 14644-1 are approximately equal, except the new ISO standard uses new class designations, a metric measure of air volume and adds three additional classes - two cleaner than Class 10 and one beyond than Class 100,000.

• The second new ISO standard, ISO 14644-2, gives requirements for monitoring a cleanroom or clean zone to provide evidence of its continued compliance with ISO 14644-1.

HVAC SYSTEMS ENVIRONMENTAL

MONITORING PROGRAM

• Sample Site and Frequencies Determination– Would the act of sampling at a given site disturb the

environment sufficiently to cause erroneous data or possibly cause the product to be contaminated?

– At which site would the potential of microbial contamination most likely affect product quality adversely?

– During the PQ study which sites were highest in microbial contaminates.

– What sites would be the most difficult to clean?

– Should site selection involve statistical design or should it be based on a grid profile?

– How often is a particular area or process used?

Physical, Microbiological Testing Parameters

– a- All classifications based on data measured in the vicinity of exposed materials/articles during periods of activity.

– b- ISO 14644-1 designations provide uniform particle concentration values for cleanrooms in multiple industries. An ISO 5 particle concentration is equal to Class 100 and approximately equals EU Grade A.

– c- Values represent recommended levels of environmental quality. You may find it appropriate to establish alternate microbiological action levels due to the nature of the operation or method of analysis.

– d- The additional use of settling plates is optional.

– e- Samples from Class 100 (ISO 5) environments should normally yield no microbiological contaminants.
