GMP Is Our Cleanroom Bible

GMP are the rules we live by when designing pharma equipment such as stainless steel material handling solutions.

As you are probably only too aware of, GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) is the total sum of activities necessary to ensure the quality of a product in terms of correctness and consistency.

The pharma industry meets the GMP rules via standardized rules for all types of work, documentation, control, and prevention of contamination, errors, and mix-ups.

When we in 2Lift design our industrial material handling lifts as cleanroom equipment, we strictly follow the GMP premises for equipment as outlined in the EU Guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practice for Medicinal Products for Human and Veterinary Use.

The most important GMP principles that we build into the design of our material handling lifts are those of contamination prevention.

Thus to quote the EU guidelines for GMP, we work hard to ensure that surfaces are:

“[…] smooth, free from cracks and open joints […]”, in order for them “[…] not [to] shed particulate matter and […] permit easy and effective cleaning and, if necessary, disinfection.”

Further more we strive to make certain that:

“[p]roduction equipment [does] not present any hazard to product. Parts of production equipment that come into contact with the product must not be reactive, additive or absorptive to such an extent that it will affect the quality of the product and thus present any hazard.”
