Objectives
During this conference, speakers from authorities, industry, sciences and donation services provide you with information about the current developments and revisions of the regulatory requirements, e.g. for mass spectrometry, Annex 1 and blood labeling. Furthermore, important topics such as inspections from the perspective of a GMP inspector, stability study management and virus safety will be considered. You will benefit from experts presenting their practical experiences and knowledge in the field of quality and safety of blood, blood products and plasma.
Other information provided during this event includes developments in plasma protein research, automation in a process lab, asset management and much more.
Background
In July 2022, the European Commission adopted the proposal for a Regulation on standards of quality and safety of substances of human origin intended for human application. The Council agreed on its negotiating mandate in October 2023. Negotiations with the European Parliament began in November 2023 and conclude with provisional agreement since Dec 2023. With the repeal of the Blood Directive (2002/98/EC) and the Tissues and Cells Directive (2004/23/EC), the Regulation finalizes the revision of the regulatory framework for blood, tissues and cells in the light of new scientific, technical and societal developments. It aims to prioritize and ensure donor safety, patient safety, security of supply and the development of innovative medical procedures in Europe.
Furthermore, the EU GMP Guideline, Annex 1 „Manufacture of sterile medicinal products“ also came into effect on 25 August 2023.
But what impact will these two new regulations have on donation centres and on companies that manufacture blood and plasma products in Europe? A harmonized regulation is essential for patient safety as well as the quality of the products, but new regulations often raise many questions and should definitely be clarified before inspection by the authorities.
Take the opportunity to exchange experiences with experts at this event and also talk about new developments, e.g. in analytics, production, products and existing issues and problems, e.g. inspections, blood labeling and more.
Target Group

Short Overview of the “Proposal for a Regulation on Substances of Human Origin”
This new proposal, inter alia,
supports the continued provision of SoHO therapies,
ensures high safety and quality standards,
improves harmonisation across member states, facilitating cross-border exchange of SoHO and improving patient access to the therapies they need,
creates conditions for safe, effective and accessible innovation,
improves crisis preparedness and resilience to safeguard access to therapies.
