About This Checklist

The ISO 14644 Cleanroom Change Control Audit Checklist is an essential tool for managing and documenting changes in pharmaceutical cleanroom environments. This comprehensive checklist aligns with ISO 14644 standards, focusing on the evaluation, implementation, and documentation of changes that may impact cleanroom operations, classification, or performance. By systematically auditing change control processes, pharmaceutical companies can maintain cleanroom integrity, ensure regulatory compliance, and minimize risks associated with modifications to cleanroom systems, equipment, or procedures. Regular implementation of this checklist supports continuous improvement, enhances traceability, and reinforces a culture of controlled and well-documented change in cleanroom management.

FAQs

The checklist covers change request procedures, risk assessments for proposed changes, approval processes, implementation plans, post-change verification, documentation updates, and training requirements related to cleanroom modifications.

By ensuring that all changes are properly evaluated, implemented, and documented, change control helps maintain cleanroom performance, prevents unintended consequences, and ensures ongoing compliance with cleanroom standards.

The audit should involve quality assurance personnel, cleanroom managers, engineering specialists, regulatory affairs officers, and relevant subject matter experts depending on the nature of the changes being reviewed.

Comprehensive change control audits should be conducted quarterly, with ongoing reviews of individual change requests as they occur. Major changes should trigger immediate audits of the change control process.

Identified deficiencies should prompt a review of the change control system, including revision of procedures, retraining of personnel, and potentially reversing or re-evaluating recent changes. A follow-up audit should be scheduled to verify the effectiveness of corrective actions.
