ASTM E 2500 07, What is it?


A risk-based and science-based approach to the specification, design, and verification of manufacturing systems and equipment that have the potential to affect product quality and patient safety. The overall objective is to provide manufacturing capability to support defined and controlled processes that can consistently produce product meeting defined quality requirements.
Approved June 1, 2007 A voluntary consensus standard It has legal relevance

Stresses expert analysis of critical element that affect product quality


quality, (not Quality Assurance or Quality Unit) appears 44 times expert appears 21 times critical appears 20 times

The National Technology Transfer Act of 1995 Public Law 104-113 The Congress finds the following:
(1) Bringing technology and industrial innovation to themarketplace is central to the economic, environmental, and social well-being of the people of the United States. (2) The Federal Government can help United States business to speed the development of new products and processes

Provision (12(d)) - Utilization of Consensus Technical Standards by Federal Agencies;


all Federal agencies and departments shall use technical standards that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies, using such technical standards as a means to carry out policy objectives or activities deemed by the agencies and departments.

ASTM E 2500-07 Highlights


The ASTM standard focuses on
Specification Design Verification Lifecycle

Alternative to ISPE Baseline Guide Vol 5 Commissioning & Qualification


complexity, cost, time

Replaces Design Qualification with a Design Review by Subject Matter Experts


Risk Assessments by Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)
Eliminate Impact Assessment

Replaces sequential Commissioning and Qualification with Verification


Fit for intended use - Not bound by the formal IQ, OQ PQ phases

Lifecycle Change
Continuous process improvements and real-time monitoring (PAT)
-Page 6-

Why is it needed now?

It is estimated that validation can add up to 25% of the total installation cost for new facilities.

I know Nothing!

Implementing ASTM E 2500 Some will wrongly interpret this as simply shifting validation responsibilities:
This new approach will significantly shift the current qualification responsibilities and activities associated with facility qualification, equipment qualification, and utility qualification to the companys corporate engineering group

Some will wrongly interpret this as simply changing the terminology:


Out goes the Design Qualification (DQ) with a Design Review (DR). Also for those that do them, Impact Assessments are out. Commissioning and Qualification are replaced by Verification, the qualification phases (IQ, OQ, PQ) are obsolete.

ASTM E 2500 is a new Concept, requiring new Approaches


Its more than simply re-naming documents Its more than a re-org of shifting responsibilities from one group

Implementing ASTM E 2500 6. Verification Plan (5.1, 7.4)


Verify the critical aspects of the manufacturing system
Design Properly installed Operating correctly Meets performance requirements Fit for intended use

Identifies all required testing & documentation


Extent of verification and documentation should be based on risk to product quality and patient safety Criticality, risk factors identified in the URS, FMECA Risk Analysis, and detailed design Testing occurs from FAT to PQ

Acceptance criteria:
Developed and approved by subject matter experts Critical aspects approved by the quality unit

A Traceability Matrix summarizes required testing and when it occurs

Implementing ASTM E 2500 7. Verification Plan Execution: Subject matter experts perform or oversee activities, and document results (7.4.3.1) Vendor verification documentation may be used (7.4.3.2) Leverage FAT/SAT testing rather than repeating vendor activities and replicating vendor documentation (6.8.2) Testing occurs across FAT, SAT, IQ, OQ, PQ
The more critical testing or additional testing may occur during IQ/OQ to mitigate risk

Implementing ASTM E 2500 8. Verification Summary Report


Approved FAT, SAT, ETOP, IOQ and PQ Reports collectively provide documented verification that the manufacturing system is fit for intended use (E 2500 7.5.1) Summary Report provides an overview of test results and nonconformances with acceptance criteria (7.5.2) Completed verification documentation reviewed by qualified and independent subject matter expert(s) (7.4.4.1) SME reviews overview of results and any nonconformance with critical acceptance criteria Systems with critical aspects should be approved by the quality unit. SME confirms manufacturing system is fit for intended us (7.5.3) Approved by SME and Quality Assurance (7.5.4).
-Page 33-

Implementing ASTM E 2500 9. GMP Operation Acceptance, Release & Change Management:
After Verification Summary Report approval, Quality Assurance issues authorization to release the system for GMP operational use (7.5.5). As part of the system life-cycle, equipment, and procedures are periodically reviewed.
Modifications are controlled via Change Management throughout the system lifecycle (E 2500 8.4.3). Changes are approved by system subject matter experts. Changes to critical aspects or to aspects that affect system requirements relative to product quality and patient safety are additionally approved by Quality Assurance (8.4.2, 8.4.3)

-Page 34-

The Role of QA in ASTM E 2500


7.4.1.3 Acceptance criteria of critical aspects (that is, critical to product quality and patient safety) should be approved by the quality unit. 7.4.2.3 The verification plan should be developed and approved by t h subject matter experts. Verification plans for systems containingg si critical ver aspects should be approved by the quality unit. al O by n 7.5.4 Such documentation should be prepared and approved itio subject matter experts.

ASTM E 2500 The Role of Vendors The key to a competitive parts supply system is the way the assembler works with its suppliers
(Womack et al., 1990)

Partner with a supplier (LEAN) vs Bid them against each other (MASS) Preferred Suppliers
Few in number, single sourced? Share information needs, specifications Supplier becomes the solution provider

Encourages use good vendor documentation and testing to support qualification


-Page 52-

Implementation Gaps Gaps


How do you do a risk assessment eg. FMEA SOP? How often, at what points in the process? How do you qualify to be an SME? How many QA staff will be needed? What expertise will they need? Where will you find them? How do you manage changes during design & implementation? How do you manage change to enable improvements to be implemented? How do you efficiently address deviations from the Verification Plan? How do you determine the Critical aspects of the manufacturing system How to define & document the verification approach

E 2500 Efficiency & Cost Savings

The extent of verification and the level of detail of documentation should be based on risk, including those associated with product quality and patient safety, and the complexity. Only companies that achieve a high level of process understanding will have the opportunity to justify a more flexible regulatory path.

Summary

ASTM E 2500-07 provides a cutting edge framework for planning and execution of riskbased approach to designing and implementing reliable manufacturing systems ASTM E 2500 has many parallels to existing approaches, but relies on more risk management and higher expertise The challenge is to address the implementation gaps and develop the custom tools
