Training

HVAC systems maintain critical GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and pressures) in biopharma facilities. The performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance of these systems are essential to GMP operations.

In the end, however, all three objectives (performance, reliability, and compliance) depend on a crucial ingredient: the capability of the team that designs, constructs, operates, manages, and qualifies these HVAC systems.

This training has been specially designed to enhance that capability on two key fronts: (i) Fundamentals of HVAC pharmaceutical design and (ii) HVAC GMP compliance and qualification.

• Professionals working in biopharma manufacturing plants, design, contractors, commissioning & qualifications companies
• Managers, senior engineers, engineers, supervisors, senior technicians
• Involved in HVAC design, construction, commissioning, qualification, maintenance, operations, and GMP compliance
• Professionals aiming to enter the pharmaceutical industry

• Pharma HVAC facility design: What goes into HVAC pharmaceutical facility design in terms of room classifications, pressure differentials, temperature & relative humidity, AHU configurations, alarms, and types of pharma facilities?
• GMP regulations: What are the HVAC-related FDA, EU, WHO, and ISO GMP regulations/guidelines?
• Compliance: How to qualify the HVAC system for biopharma facilities?
