Guide to Cleaning Validation in API plants

2. Objective
The intention of this document has been to define a comprehensive approach to the Validationof Cleaning procedures in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient manufacturing facilities. Cleaning Validation in the context of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient manufacture may be defined as: The process of providing documented evidence that the cleaning methods employed within a facility consistently controls potential carryover of product (including intermediates and impurities), cleaning agents andextraneous material into subsequent product to a level which is below predetermined levels. It is necessary to Validate Cleaning procedures for the following reasons: a. b. c. It is a customer requirement - it ensures the safety and purity of the product. It is a regulatory requirement in Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient product manufacture. It also assures from an internal control and compliance...
