COURSE DESCRIPTION
Cleaning Validation is a major concern for regulators and can become the focal point of pharmaceutical inspections. Cleaning Validation can involve a significant amount of resources and take a long time to complete. This one-day course will discuss how to introduce science, risk and statistical approaches to cleaning and justify simplification and minimization of the work.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This one-day course will benefit validation specialists, laboratory analysts, QA and QC managers, regulators, and researchers, who are involved in cleaning validation, create masterplans and protocols, develop swab/rinse methods, evaluate cleaning results and write reports. To get the most out of the course, we recommended that you have at least one year of pharmaceutical experience in Validation, QA or the laboratory analysis of cleaning validation samples.
