3:00pm to 9:00pm

As PCI’s operations are routinely used by clients for the development and manufacture of sterile medicines, it was deemed important that participants to the Open Day receive an update on the latest revision of Annex 1 ("Manufacture of sterile medicinal products") to the PIC/S Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice. The new Annex 1 requirements will take effect 25 August 2023* in the EU and PIC/S announced in September 2022 that it will apply the same dates of entry into operation. The TGA in Australia and Medsafe in New Zealand are expected to adopt the new Annex 1 version shortly.

*except for point 8.123 which is postponed until 25 August 2024.
