Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products such as pharmaceuticals and medical technology components are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. GMP covers all aspects of production from the starting materials, premises, and equipment to the training and personal hygiene of staff. Ultimately deviations from quality standards in these industries may directly influence consumers' health.
International standards apply in these industries to guarantee perfect product quality at an identically high level. Companies are not granted a production permit if they fail to comply with these standards. These standards have been defined in the GMP guideline in an attachment to the medication and active substance production regulations. The document defines elements including hygiene directives and criteria to use materials in sensitive production environments, such as clean rooms.
Many of the properties of nora flooring have already been verified to meet the demands of these environments, e.g. low particle emissions, no cracks and open grooves as well as very good cleaning and disinfection properties. In this process, independent testing instituts have confirmed suitability for use in regulated areas up to GMP Class A or ISO 14644-1 Class 3. Thanks to its high resistance to biological contamination, chemicals, and disinfecting agents, nora flooring consequently represents an ideal solution for your clean rooms.
In clean rooms or other, sensitive areas within industrial facilities flooring is frequently subject to chemical cleaning and disinfecting agents, corrosive liquids or other media. It is therefore important that floor coverings meet maximum requirements in terms of resistance to these substances in relevant application areas.
nora flooring's material properties make them resistant to chemicals and media. The resistance to conventional laboratory and production media is regularly tested.
We give advice in terms of the media used for your specific project and are happy to recommend suitable nora flooring. We are happy to provide samples or sample series for your in-house qualification and validation to responsible entities in quality assurance, hygiene, microbiology, safety or facility management.
