A Brief Overview of the EMPQ Process
July 29, 2024
In the world of life sciences, the precision of environmental conditions isn’t just a necessity; it's the bedrock upon which research and production safely rest. This precision is governed through rigorous environmental monitoring and performance qualification (EMPQ). AN EMPQ utilizes a multi-phase approach to collect data and establish long-term, ongoing environmental monitoring.
Data generated respresents the cleanliness of the facility and the ability for manufacturing processes to operate within the intended room classifications. Performing an EMPQ correctly is critical because an ill-prepared EMPQ execution could lead to downtime and higher costs. Azzur Group offers a free EMPQ preparedness checklist - Check it out today!
The EMPQ is most successfully performed when a well-written plan is created. With the current standards in place, there are no regulations on how long an EMPQ should last, but experts recommend three days of static and dynamic testing, each, for viable and non-viable particulate testing.
