Temperature qualification has long been a requirement for areas used for the storage of pharmaceutical products and the maturing regulatory requirements have increasingly higher expectations for compliance in this area. The EU-GDP Guidelines (Chapter 3 – Premises and Equipment) provide some broad requirements but with little guidance on the ‘how to’ element, and the WHO guidelines (Supplement 8 –Temperature mapping of storage areas) goes a step further in regards to technical elements.
This webinar is aimed at taking out the guess work of such an exercise and clearly outlining the main components of a successful and compliant qualification.
This webinar is designed for all managers, supervisors, technical staff, Responsible Persons (RP’s) and other employees who are involved in the compliant storage of temperature sensitive pharmaceutical products within a GxP environment. It will be of interest in particular for personnel from the following departments:
- Quality Assurance
- Validation
- Engineering
- Logistics
- Warehousing
- Cold Chain
- Regulatory Compliance
