Consulting and drafting of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Aseptic process

We provide guidance in the design and drafting of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), tailored to your actual facilities and processes, with the aim of maximizing product safety, personnel protection, and operational efficiency.

A well-defined procedure not only facilitates regulatory compliance, but also reduces errors and ensures the reproducibility of operations.

We ensure that each procedure is aligned with the physical design of the cleanrooms, workflows, equipment, and regulatory requirements. In fact, we can develop the procedures in parallel to the design of the facilities, which allows a total integration between space and daily operations.

Among the aspects we address:

  • Materials flow: Inputs and outputs of materials for correct manufacturing and aseptic processing.
  • Gowning and personnel flow: Definition of entrances and exits of personnel, gowning sequences and access control.
  • Cleaning and disinfection: Detailed procedures by areas, types of surfaces, products to be used and their frequencies.
  • Sterilization cycles: Procedure and validation of autoclave sterilization cycles of materials used in cleanrooms.
  • Environmental monitoring: Control and recording of viable and non-viable particles, and response to deviations (OOS, Out of Specification, OOE – Out of Expectation, OOT – Out of Trend).

Our approach combines regulatory knowledge (GMP, Annex I, ISO) with operational experience in aseptic environments and classified areas. In addition, we adapt the language of the procedures so that they are understandable, applicable and easily auditable, facilitating both the training of the staff and the acceptance by the health authorities.

Let’s standardize your procedures!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is it important to have well-written SOPs in a pharmaceutical plant?
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) are essential to ensure the reproducibility, traceability and regulatory compliance of operations. Clear and accurate wording and procedures reduces errors, improves operational efficiency, and facilitates staff training, ensuring product safety and personnel protection.
What regulations are taken into account when drafting SOPs/SOPs?
We rely on GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices), Annex 1 of the European GMP, the American GMPs, and other regulatory guidelines applicable to aseptic process manufacturing and classified environments. This ensures that the procedures are robust, aligned with the requirements of the health authorities and are correctly integrated into the quality system.
What differentiates your SOP writing services from others?
We draft procedures adapted to the operational reality of each facility: actual flows of materials and people, physical design of cleanrooms, existing equipment and working methods. We even develop the SOPs in parallel to the design of the facilities, ensuring total integration between facilites, personnel and procedures.
What types of procedures can you develop or review?
We review and draft SOPs related to:
  • Material and personnel flows in classified areas
  • Gowning and access to cleanrooms
  • Cleaning and disinfection according to surface types and areas
  • Autoclave material sterilization cycles
  • Environmental monitoring and deviation response (OOS, OOE, OOT)
Can you help integrate SOPs into the quality system and train personnel?
Yes. In addition to the procedures drafting, we support their implementation within the quality system, including linking them to validations, deviation management, change control and audit preparation. We also offer specific training for staff to understand and implement SOPs effectively and in compliance with regulations.
