INTRODUCTION:
Harmonization.
Development in other parts of world.
Consolidate global concepts of GMPs and validation.

CONCEPT OF VALIDATION IN 1980s:
1.U.S.FDA
2.FIP
3.EOQC
4.APV
5.PIC

U.S. FDA
Title 21 of the “Code of Federal Regulations”
No mention of Process validation
Only analytical method validation were discussed
Proposal withdrawal after 10years
Switch over non-sterile processes
First FIP and EOQC bodies to show interest in GMPs for non-sterile.
Process validation in 1987

REGULATORY GUIDANCE FROM 1990s
ONWARDS:
U.S FDA
In 1990s validation topic was more focused because of FDA inspection.
All observation was written in form 483
“Warning letters” were stronger tool for them to enforce CGMP.
In 1997 101 warning letters were send out.
The role they played in CGMP was written down in CFR.
Areas they
defined
• Cleaning validation
• Computerized system validation
• Sterilization validation
• Support system validation
• Analytical method validation

Areas with serious deficiencies In number of letters
Process validation 35
Cleaning validation 15
Analytical method validation 9
Water system validation 6
Equipment operational
validation
5
Sterilization process validation 4
Reprocessing validation 3
Validation documentation 3
Computer system validation 2
Aseptic filling validation 2
Container system validation 2

PIC/S
(Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention scheme)
Founded in 1970 by European Free Trade Area(EFTA)
Initially 10 EFTA member countries.
According to EU law, the EU countries were not allowed to sign the agreement with other
countries outside.
Only EC was allowed.
The Committee is assisted in its task by 7 Sub-Committees (e.g. on the training of inspectors, on
GMDP harmonization, etc.), by an Executive Bureau
On 1 January 2004, PIC/S became independent and established its own Secretariat.

WHO
(The World Health Organization)
 WHO is intergovernmental organization
Established in 1948.
Consist total 194 member countries.
Introduction

Guidelines are divided into 5 different parts:

Concerning with
the activities:
• Production and development
• Quality assurance
• Safety and efficacy
Covered
Guidelines:
• Quality of water for pharmaceutical use
• APIs
• Excipients
• Sterile drug product
• Biological drug product
• Investigational drug product
• Herbal drug product
• Radiopharmaceutical

HARMONIZATION:
From wishful thinking to reality
ICH : The International Council for Harmonization
It’s a tripartite by: EU ,Japan and US
Established in 1990s
Aim was to improve the efficiency of drug development process and
registration of new drug products
And reduce Duplication
Published a guide on GMP for APIs

• EU
• European Federation of
Pharmaceutical Industries and
Associations(EFPIA)
• Ministry of Health, Labor and
Welfare(MHLW)
• Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers
Association(JPMA)
• FDA
• Pharmaceutical research and
Manufacturers of America(PhRMA)
Regulatory
Bodies:

Quality Guidelines Harmonized by ICH:

IPEC
(International Harmonization of Excipients
Standards )
Started as a informal discussion session in Orlando 1991
Evolved 100 member of companies , excipient manufactures & pharmaceutical users.
It is structured in 3 partner organization:
a. IPEC-Americas
b. IPEC-Europe
c. IPEC-Japan
Developed Audit guide

PHARMACOPEIAS
Pharmacopeial discussion group (PGD) was formed in 1989
Work was split between the three pharmacopeias:
a. USP
b. European pharmacopeia
c. Japanese pharmacopeia
Goal of this harmonization is to bring policies, monograph, standards , specification , analytical
methods and acceptance criteria

The international Organization For
Standardization
ISO is a multinational agency
Established in 1947
Purpose is to promote harmonization of processing, manufacturing & quality assurance among
industrial nations
ISO having two groups:
The ISO 9000 Series
-Developed in 1987
-popular with industrial operations
ISO 9001:2000
-Covers full range from design through development, manufacturing & production to supply
services

Three series documents are:
1.9000:2000 –fundamental & vocabulary
2.9001:2000- requirements
3.9004:2000-Guidelines for performance improvement.
 ISO 14644 ,was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 209, Cleanrooms and associated
controlled environments.
ISO 14698, Cleanrooms and associated controlled environments - Bio contamination control:

PDA ( Parenteral Drug Association)
International association promoting Art& Science of pharmaceutical technology
High standard for products
Established third party inspection program
PDA has a GMP harmonization task force:
Assess to differences in GMP definition and implementation

ISPE
(International Society for Pharmaceutical
Engineering)
It is a worldwide nonprofit society of technical professionals.
It has developed guidance documents regarding planning,
construction,
qualifying and operating facilities.
Also established Baseline
 Guide that addresses the design, construction, commissioning, and qualification of facilities
designed for aseptic processing of formulated products.
The Guide is designed for use by industry for the design, construction of aseptic/sterile
manufacturing facilities.

MEDICAL DEVICES
National and Regional:
In 1993 Council of European Communities issued Medical Device Directive(MDD)
MDD was adopted to allow the health care industry to get benefits from European market
In 1998 all medical devices marketed in Europe must bear a CE mark.
That ensures the highest degree of safety and product quality of medical devices.
Other countries started with the regulations i.e. Canada and US

International:
In 1992 Global Harmonization Task force (GHTF) was formed.
Includes more then 30 nations
Recent efforts of organizations:
Opening its website
Form strong relationship with ISO/TC 210 committee
Harmonization documents:
SG1 Regulatory Requirements
SG2 Medical devices vigilance
SG3 Quality system Requirements
SG4 Auditing

CONCLUSION:
We have entered into the phase of global consolidation.
Exceptional jobs are been done in the area of harmonization
Harmonization helps pharmaceutical industries and medical devices industries in developing
new product under harmonized rules and supply them to the global market.
