THE UPDATED NEW ANNEX 1 – A New Requirement for Sterile Goggles

As the publication for the revised Annex 1 of the GMP guidelines is fast approaching, the new guidelines add a requirement for sterile eyewear and garment change at least every work session.
Previously, only masks and gloves were mandated for frequent change, although it is now imperative outlined in the Annex 1, for sterile eyewear to be mandated for such frequent change too. While you may currently conform with the new requirement, there will be some of our customers that will have to make changes to their gowning procedures.
There is high emphasis on the necessity for sterile eyewear to be provided for every worker at each work session of an appropriate size. Sterile eye coverings should be worn to cover the eyes and the facial skin around them. Goggles serve this purpose, preventing the shedding of droplets and particles contaminating a product.
The revised Annex 1, urges us to be attentive to the goggles undergoing sterilization and being in integral packaging prior to use.
