The new edition of the ISPE Baseline® Guide: Oral Solid Dosage Forms (Third Edition) considers both current and new technologies, such as Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and continuous manufacturing processes. A new chapter  has been added to address containment and cross-contamination in support of the increasing use of highly potent APIs. It also presents an innovative design approach for OSD manufacturing facilities and critical utilities that includes smaller production footprints and space classification considerations and applications. 

Dave DiProspero, Co-Team Leader of the Guide, offers insight about what brought on the update and core takeaways you’ll get from the new edition including its focus on compliance with the current regulatory expectations.
 
Technical content within this Baseline Guide covers pharmaceutical facilities for the manufacture of OSD forms, including tablets, capsules, and general powders. It may also be applied to pilot and clinical supply facilities and is intended to supplement Good Engineering Practice (GEP) with suggested approaches to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
 
The ISPE Baseline Guide: OSD Forms is intended to be used by various industry professionals for the planning, design, engineering, construction, commissioning, qualification, and operation of both new and renovated pharmaceutical OSD facilities. It is intended to be used to develop technically sound and compliant solutions while offering flexibility to meet specific facility and project needs.
 
The Guide offers a tool for consistent framework for regulatory interpretation, while still allowing a flexible, innovative, and compliant approach to facility design, construction, commissioning, and qualification. This approach is intended to allow manufacturers to better serve their customers by helping reduce costs and improve product quality. Additionally, this Baseline Guide will provide an overview of potential new technologies, which are being applied selectively in the industry.
