Sponsored by the SPP, C&Q, CU, and HVAC Communities of Practice.
Science- and risk-based approaches to qualification and validation, introduced with ICH Q9, have been with us for several years now. The promise of more flexible facilities and processes entices, but how do you apply these concepts successfully on your project? This seminar will examine the latest developments and practical examples of application of science- and risk-based approaches in the qualification of a new greenfield aseptic fill and packaging site, as well as in cleaning, sterility, pharmaceutical water systems, and clean-room HVAC applications. Hear from the FDA how science and risk based approaches are incorporated in the new FDA how science- and risk-based approaches are incorporated in the new FDA Guidance on Process Validation. Ask questions, participate in interactive workshops, learn and bank the experiences of our presenters and your colleagues to streamline and customize your projects and your company challenges.

Continuing Education Units
ISPE will provide continuing education units (ISPE CEUs) for all North American seminars and courses, including educational programming at the ISPE Annual Meeting. CEUs are nationally recognized units of achievement designed for those individuals continuing their education in their chosen field or profession.
Delegates attending European seminars and courses will receive a Certificate of Attendance, as ISPE CEUs are currently not offered at European events. Verification of CEUs is based on attendance as well as satisfactory completion of all evaluation materials. Statements of credit will be sent via email within four weeks of evaluation materials. One hour of education programming equals 0.1 ISPE CEU credits.
