Annex 1 Insights: Knowledge / Papers

  • Review of Annex 1 2022: Environmental Monitoring Changes

    Introduction

    In August 2022, a new revision of the EU GMP Annex 1 regulatory standard for sterile drug products was released, replacing the most recent draft from 2020 and the existing revision from 2008. The deadline for operational use of the new standards is August 25, 2023: a year after the release. These requirements regulate the manufacturing of sterile drugs made in and imported to the EU. Pharmaceutical manufacturing is performed in controlled environments to reduce contamination, and changes recently announced by Annex 1 focus more on strategic control than on measurement of quality. This new revision also better aligns the manufacturing principles contained in the Annex 1 to those presented by the World Health Organization (WHO), Pharmaceutical Inspection Cooperation Scheme (PIC/S), and US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
