20、s through the accumulation of soil. Testing procedures should be developed and documented to ensure that relevant 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
21、of good practice which facilitate high quality manufacturing if followed. This European Standard refers to assessing the cleanability of equipment used in biotechnology, where additional specific requirements related to safety and to special features of biotechnological processes are required. It sh
22、ould be read in association with the more general standards and guidelines as mentioned above. In particular this 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
23、to remove soil from equipment and plant varies substantially with the process. In some cases abundant residues after 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
24、be achieved, because for example all surfaces are adsorptive to some degree. 1 Scope This European Standard gives guidance on general testing procedures to assess the cleanability of equipment (components and units of equipment) used in biotechnological processes. This European Standard applies prim
25、arily if the intended use of equipment includes the use of potentially hazardous micro-organisms. This European 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 proc
26、esses. This European Standard applies to plants or components such as, valves and fitting, tanks, pumps, piping, 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 condi
27、tion of (a) product, surface, device, gases and/or liquids with residual soil below a defined threshold level 2.2 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 compon
28、ents of equipment technical entity which forms part of a unit of equipment NOTEExamples of components of equipment 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 o
29、f process media present on a surface 2.9 unit of equipment assembly of components used to perform one or more unit operations Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sat Oct 28 14:44:59 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI Page 4 EN 12296:1998 BSI 1998 3 Testing 3.1 General The requirement
30、s 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 and equipment to state the performance of their equipment using test methods, incl
31、uding 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 defined indicator substance(s) and one or more defined cleaning protocol(s) and
32、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 biotechnology process will contain many constituents. The indicator substance chosen to
33、 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 description of indicators and test methods is given in annex B. 3.2 Methodology To determi
34、ne 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 equipment; b) select the sampling procedure and the analytical procedure to be used t
35、o 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 the cleaning material and the mode of application. NOTE 1 Potential hazards to the
36、 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 successive operations. 3.3 Testing procedure Carry out the testing procedures as
37、 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 load containing the indicator has been discharged from the equipment and the equipm
38、ent 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 protocol specified in 3.2 to the plant or equipment being tested for cleanability;
39、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 data obtained, express the cleanability of the equipment or plant; g) determine t
40、he appropriate cleanability class to the equipment under test as described in the equipment standards with respect to the chosen indicator substance and cleaning protocol. NOTEThe procedure described by European Hygienic Design criteria Group (EHEDG) (see annex C 2) can be quoted as an example of th
41、e 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 cleaning and in which the cleaning protocol is described (see annex C 3). Clearly oth
42、er 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 people or to the environment, or to future processing (see annex B). Potential cle
43、aning 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 methods are possible, ranging from the use of a biological indicator to the use of chemi
44、cal 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 the procedure(s) used for the assessment of the cleanability of the component or
45、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.

They are visual inspection, swabbing the inner surfaces, sampling 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 microscopic techniques such as light microscopy, scanning or transmission electron microscopy (see annex C 4
