The International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) announced the release of its latest guide, ISPE Good Practice Guide: Critical Utilities GMP Compliance – How to Be Compliant and Ready to Prove It. The Guide was cultivated by leading experts to help pharmaceutical organizations achieve and maintain their critical utility systems in a state of control, and then be able to efficiently demonstrate their systems’ Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance to regulatory inspectors and auditors.

“This Guide will be a big benefit to critical utility professionals and smaller manufacturing facilities where they don’t have as much bench depth in their compliance departments,” said Nik Krpan, President, Cheme Engineering, Guide co-lead. “This resource will help them to identify what are the critical areas they should be focusing on to achieve compliance for their critical utilities and how to host a more efficient audit.” 

Key areas addressed in the Guide include:

• Water systems
• Pure steam
• Compressed air
• Medical gases
• Processes unique to critical utilities
