Product development, package design

The cGMP regulations include specific packaging and labeling controls, so packaging and labeling requirement, processes, and controls should be included in a QS-based approach to product and process design and development.

Process design the CER describes the role played by ESH in Clariant s Integrated Product Policy . Environmental protection aspects of new products and packaging are discussed, as is the use of chemical productivity indicators to assess environmental efficiency. By way of example, the development of a chromic acid aqueous oxidation is described and savings on energy and sulphuric acid are quoted. 

In the pharmaceutical industry, while drug research or R D is formulating the active product, basic packaging presentations will be vetted as primary containers (i.e. for material stability and compatibility). However, once the drug moves into the production development interface, its total packaging design and application for production, distribution, market (and supplier) necessitates close formal liaison between the writers of the component specification and the quality inspection procedure.
