Strict Requirements for Cleanroom Manufacturing in Pharmaceuticals
Medicine is essential for relieving pain, and due to the vast variety of drugs available, taking medication has become a crucial tool for maintaining our health. However, have you ever wondered whether pharmaceutical production workshops are truly cleanrooms and whether the quality of the products meets national standards, specifically the "Good Manufacturing Practice" (GMP) certification?
Pharmaceutical workshops must achieve a cleanroom standard. Humans are the largest source of contamination in cleanrooms. The proportion of airborne dust in a cleanroom is 5%–10%; construction materials account for 20%–30%; gases and liquids account for 5%–10%; machinery accounts for 20%–30%; and personnel account for 30%–40%. Therefore, to prevent contamination of pharmaceuticals by human hair or dander, production personnel are required to wear cleanroom suits that are dustproof, antibacterial, and antistatic.
When designing cleanroom garments, the four basic elements of pharmaceutical workwear must be met: cleanliness, anti-static properties, comfort, and durability. The garments should not have any pockets on the outside, and wrinkles and areas where dust can accumulate should be minimized. High standards highlight the high quality of the product, thus providing better protection for our health.
