Zielsetzung
The aim of this Live Online Training is to discuss the process of the statistical sampling of
- finished drug products
- packaging materials (primary and secondary)
- medical devices
- starting materials (APIs and excipients)
and to define the prerequisites for implementing a system for reduced sampling and reduced testing for these products.
This course is also intended to give a practical training on the use of the most common sampling standards: ISO 2859-1:1999 and ANSI/ASQ Z1.4.

Hintergrund
Sampling of materials is one of the most important processes in pharmaceutical companies. Accordingly, its importance in international guidelines is also high. Regulatory agencies require a sampling plan that utilizes basic elements of statistical analysis or provide a scientific rationale for taking a representative sample according to the lot size.
According to chapter 6 of the EU GMP Guidelines, the sampling plan used should be appropriately justified and based on a risk management approach. FDA requires in the Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR Part 211.84), that sampling should be done upon statistical criteria. In the light of these regulatory requirements, one may wonder whether the √N rule is a statistically valid sampling plan.

Zielgruppe
This Live online Training is directed at all those employees from quality control units and production units in the pharmaceutical industry who are competent or responsible for sampling, testing and release of starting materials (APIs and excipients), packaging materials (primary and secondary) as well as finished pharmaceutical products. This course is also of interest to personnel from quality assurance and to those employees from API, excipient or packaging material suppliers who want to inform themselves about the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry on the testing of these materials.
The course does not require prior knowledge in sampling and statistics.
