18、 The cleaning of plant and equipment is an essential element of biotechnology processes in order to protect the safety of people and the environment and to avoid harmful operational effects through the accumulation of soil. Testing procedures should be developed and documented to ensure that relevan

19、t information on cleanability is available. Standards (e.g. EN ISO 9000 series, see annex C 9), guidelines (e.g. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) see annex C 10) state general procedures of good practice which facilitate high quality manufacturing if followed. This European Standard refers to asses

20、sing the cleanability of equipment used in biotechnology, where additional specific requirements related to safety and to special features of biotechnological processes are required. It should be read in association with the more general standards and guidelines as mentioned above. In particular thi

21、s European Standard states the principles on which test methodology is based. Informative guidance on selection of test methods is provided in annex A. The extent to which it is necessary to remove soil from equipment and plant varies substantially with the process. In some cases abundant residues a

22、fter cleaning do not harm people or the environment or do not cause difficulties in the process. In others very low residues are essential. The complete removal of soil on surfaces cannot be achieved, because for example all surfaces are adsorptive to some degree. 1 Scope This European Standard give

23、s guidance on general testing procedures to assess the cleanability of equipment (components and units of equipment) used in biotechnological processes. This European Standard applies primarily if the intended use of equipment includes the use of potentially hazardous micro-organisms. This European

24、Standard also applies to non-hazardous micro-organisms and/or to residual soil which can adversely affect sterilization processes or which can cause cross-contamination of products or processes. This European Standard applies to plants or components such as, valves and fitting, tanks, pumps, piping,

25、 separating and filling devices as well as instrumentation in contact with process fluids. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this standard, the following definitions apply: 2.1 clean condition of (a) product, surface, device, gases and/or liquids with residual soil below a defined threshold level 2.

26、2 cleanability ability to be made clean 2.3 cleaning removal of soil 2.4 Cleaning-In Place (CIP) cleaning without dismantling of components of equipment and/or unit of equipment 2.5 components of equipment technical entity which forms part of a unit of equipment NOTE Examples of components of equipm

27、ent are vessels, valves and sensors. 2.6 contamination presence of soil 2.7 residual soil soil left after cleaning 2.8 soil material, including micro-organisms, metabolites and components of process media present on a surface 2.9 unit of equipment assembly of components used to perform one or more u

28、nit operationsPage 4 EN 12296:1998 BSI 1998 3 Testing 3.1 General The requirements for cleanability vary with process, especially in relation to its assessed risk. Therefore cleanability classes for biosafety are defined in individual equipment standards. This will allow the manufacturers of plant a

29、nd equipment to state the performance of their equipment using test methods, including visual inspection, developed according to the principles described in 3.2. It will also allow users of equipment to define their requirements in simple terms. These classes define performance only in relation to a

30、 defined indicator substance(s) and one or more defined cleaning protocol(s) and are relevant to the proposed use in the equipment. The cleanability class assigned to the equipment is likely to vary with the indicator and cleaning protocol chosen. The soil adhering to surfaces at the end of a biotec

31、hnology process will contain many constituents. The indicator substance chosen to demonstrate the cleanability should be representative of those constituents that have an impact on safety aspects in relation to the need to protect people, the environment or features of the process. A brief descripti

32、on of indicators and test methods is given in annex B. 3.2 Methodology To determine the cleanability of plant and equipment, choose and specify an appropriate test method or combination of test methods (see annexes A and B): a) specify an appropriate indicator related to the proposed use of the equi

33、pment; b) select the sampling procedure and the analytical procedure to be used to determine the quantity of this indicator which is present on relevant equipment surfaces or on surfaces in the plant ; c) specify a cleaning protocol including, as a minimum, the specification of the constituents of t

34、he cleaning material and the mode of application. NOTE 1 Potential hazards to the operator during cleaning should be assessed. NOTE 2 Factors such as the duration, temperature and fluid flow rates of cleaning should be included in the protocol. NOTE 3 The cleaning protocol can consist of a number of

35、 successive operations. 3.3 Testing procedure Carry out the testing procedures as follows: a) load the equipment or plant with the indicator under normal operating conditions or in a way which simulates these; b) run the equipment and/or plant under normal or simulated-normal conditions until the lo

36、ad containing the indicator has been discharged from the equipment and the equipment and/or plant is ready to be cleaned; c) using the analytical procedure selected in 3.2, determine the quantity of indicator substance present after discharge of the load but before cleaning; d) apply the cleaning pr

37、otocol specified in 3.2 to the plant or equipment being tested for cleanability; e) using the analytical procedure selected in 3.2, determine the quantity of indicator substance present on the relevant surface(s) of the equipment and/or plant after application of the cleaning protocol; f) using the

38、data obtained, express the cleanability of the equipment or plant; g) determine the appropriate cleanability class to the equipment under test as described in the equipment standards with respect to the chosen indicator substance and cleaning protocol. NOTE The procedure described by European Hygien

39、ic Design criteria Group (EHEDG) (see annex C 2) can be quoted as an example of the application of 3.2 above, in which the indicator substance is the spores of a specific bacterium, the analytical procedure is a culturing method which detects the number of this bacterium present before and after cle

40、aning and in which the cleaning protocol is described (see annex C 3). Clearly other approaches can be used for the indicator substances could be another microorganism, a specific member of a chemical group such as a defined protein, carbohydrate or lipid, a specific compound known to be harmful to

41、people or to the environment, or to future processing (see annex B). Potential cleaning protocols can be simple, for example a wash with water applied through a hosepipe or complex, as with sophisticated in-place cleaning involving the use of hazardous chemicals at high temperature. Many test method

42、s are possible, ranging from the use of a biological indicator to the use of chemical assays, immunological techniques, fluorescence assays and physical test methods, including microscopy (see annex B). 4 Documentation The equipment manufacturer/supplier and/or the user should establish and document

43、 the procedure(s) used for the assessment of the cleanability of the component or unit of equipment. This documentation should include the applied test conditions (testing method, indicator, analytical procedure and cleaning protocol) and the results of the test.Page 5 EN 12296:1998 BSI 1998 1 rinse

It represents a decision tree for selection of a cleanability test method based on scale, and access

46、 of the equipment.Page 6 EN 12296:1998 BSI 1998 Annex B (informative) Information on test methods for cleanliness B.1 General Essentially four test methods are available to determine the level of cleanliness of equipment (see annex C 3). They are visual inspection, swabbing the inner surfaces, sampl

47、ing the final rinse and testing the following batch for contamination. B.2 Visual inspection Residual soil, adsorbed microbial populations or relevant tracer indicators may be detected by a visual inspection of the equipment under investigation. This detection can be done by the eye or by using micr

48、oscopic techniques such as light microscopy, scanning or transmission electron microscopy (see annex C 4). In most cases it will be necessary to gain access to the equipment under investigation in order to be able to use these techniques. B.3 Swabbing the inner surfaces Indicator substances (chemica

49、l or (micro-)biological) can be measured by swabbing exactly defined areas of equipment that come into contact with the product. Swabbing of easily accessible flat surfaces may cause over-optimistic results with regard to the cleaning. Swabbing poorly accessible spots can produce over-pessimistic results. Vitally important for statistically relevant results are a correct choice of places where to swab in the equipment and the area to be swabbed when using this test method. Swabbing can be done either direct e.g. with ag
