Volunteers Zone ISPE China complete the first draft of Good Laboratories Practice Guide Laboratory provides accurate and reliable data for the various aspects in the lifecycle of drugs. As regulators attach more importance on data integrity inspection, they take laboratory as the main target in GMP inspection. ISPE experts from regulatory and industry has drafted Good Laboratory Practice Guide, aiming to offering guidance and advice on the establishment, operation and management of drug laboratory. The initial version has been completed and under the process for review. For the updates about the guide, please visit ISPE China Website or Wechat (ISPEChina). ISPE Volunteers recruitment Volunteers always play a vital role in ISPE’s development. You can join ISPE committees, the task group, or community discussion groups to be our volunteers, and share your knowledge, experience and perspectives with others. (ISPE member only) ISPE is now recruiting the volunteers for ISPE pharmaceutical engineering magazine articles’ translation. Volunteers should have relevant knowledge and background. If you want to join us, please contact Viona: 021-2312-3521 or email china@ispe.org . ISPE Publications Recommendation: Produced by pharmaceutical manufacturing industry professionals, ISPE Guidance Documents provide the practical, "real world" information you need to help your company build on current best practices to meet and exceed regulatory standards. Chinese version of ISPE Guideline: Manufacturing Execution Systems-A strategic and Program Management Approach will be published soon The Guide uses a complete lifecycle approach to the development and use of MES for regulated manufacturing as a collection or domain of manufacturing related functions that integrates business and process controls, information flow, and human interaction to facilitate the operation of an organization. It collects and integrates information and knowledge from many disciplines and sources into a single comprehensive guideline. The Chinese version will be published during 2015 ISPE China Annual Spring Conference which is held in Beijing this April 20-21. ISPE Good Practice Guide: Applied Risk Management for Commissioning and Qualification The guide describes how organizations can move from established baseline practice to a more efficient science- and risk-based framework. It illustrates the application of Quality Risk Management to traditional commissioning and qualification practices, linking traditional terminology and approaches to the newer science- and risk-based specification and verification terminology and approaches applied in ICH Q8, Q9, and Q10, ASTM E2500, and ISPE Guide: Science and Risk-Based Approach for the Delivery of Facilities, Systems and Equipment. ISPE Good Practice Guide: Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) HVAC systems can be critical systems that affect the ability of a pharmaceutical facility to meet its objective of providing safe and effective product to the patient. The guide provides designers and the project team with suggestions to help determine the user requirements and the functional design that define the facility's objectives. It also provides options to be considered in creating a design that has low lifecycle cost and which is sustainable.
