Workshop Content

A comprehensive three-day workshop in excipient auditing for makers and users. Training will analyze
the essential elements of excipient good
manufacturing practice for materials intended for
use in pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, food
or as industrial chemicals and explains how the applicable product standards differ.

The workshop will focus on excipient GMP compliance and attendees will learn auditing techniques, report writing, observation classification, etc. that relate to the manufacture of excipient ingredients. The workshop contains exercises to hone observation skills through participation in a hands-on mock excipient GMP audit. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of risk-based excipient auditing and learn how to assess whether an excipient GMP quality system can achieve a satisfactory level of compliance. Finally, attendees will learn how to differentiate the requirements for excipient manufacture from those of APIs.

Participants who complete the course will have learned how to plan, conduct and document excipient manufacturing facilities for conformance to excipient GMP standards as listed in <1078> of USP/NF and in IPEC GMP Guidance.
