Every biotech product is an amalgam of multiple raw materials that add purpose and efficiency to it. Since raw materials are the foundation of these products, it is important to have regulatory norms in place for them. Hence, this seminar discusses raw material compliance to ensure every final product meets FDA expectations and guidelines.
We have enforced the idea of good manufacturing practices through several pharmaceutical GMP training programs. However, minute elements like raw materials need critical attention to avoid warning letters.
The world compliance seminars team has come up with a detailed course on raw material compliance to understand the intricacy of an ingredient in a product.
Course Overview
Did you know more than 5000 firms received the notice for not having cGMP-controlled raw materials? This is not a scenario you dream of while running a pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturing business.
As much as the cGMP course plays an essential role, concerned personnel needs to understand regulatory requirements for raw materials. The basic framework of this course is different from cGMP online training.
It includes topics like testing and approval of the raw materials, rejection criteria of components, product container management, and closures.
As far as the benefits of pharmaceutical cGMP training are concerned, you will learn the following things:
- Basic guidelines to formulate representative samples for effective testing and inspection
- Best practices to release each component, packaged product, and closures
- Appropriate techniques to collect samples alongside preventing contamination, maintaining sterility in equipment, and aseptic processing
- General criteria for testing and examination of the samples
- Impact of multiple raw materials on the end user
- Adhere to the best practices required for commercial-grade manufacturing
In addition to these general topics, here are the topics that will be discussed in the seminar.
