1.1 This part of ISO 13408 specifies the general requirements for, and offers guidance on, processes,
programmes and procedures for development, validation and routine control of the manufacturing process for
aseptically-processed health care products.
1.2 This part of ISO 13408 includes requirements and guidance relative to the overall topic of aseptic
processing. Specific requirements and guidance on various specialized processes and methods related to
filtration, lyophilization, clean-in place (CIP) technologies, sterilization in place (SIP) and isolator systems are
given in other parts of ISO 13408.
NOTE This part of ISO 13408 does not supersede or replace national regulatory requirements, such as Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and/or pharmacopoeial requirements that pertain in particular national or regional
jurisdictions.
