Maintenance and Cleaning of Production Equipment Under GMP

Maintenance and Cleaning of Production Equipment Under GMP

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) sets defined requirements for the maintenance and cleaning of production equipment. Sistem Patent Kalite supports the documented programme and the on-site application.

When production roles and responsibilities are defined, the cleaning and hygiene of the equipment used by each role must also be specified. These requirements must be documented and monitored in operation.

Points to address in equipment hygiene:

• Is the person responsible for equipment maintenance and cleaning identified?
• Are maintenance requirements documented in a work instruction?
• Are equipment operating conditions defined?
• Are operating instructions available for the equipment?
• Is the equipment stored appropriately when not in use?
• Are cross-contamination risks defined when equipment moves between processes?
• Are the cleaning materials used on equipment approved for food contact where applicable?
