Definition High Potent Drugs = Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (HP-APIs)* 1. Highly selective pharmacologically active ingredients that binds to specific receptors or enzymes and/or could cause cancer, mutations, developmental effects or reproductive toxicity at low doses. 2. Pharmacologically active ingredient with biological activity at approx. 15 micrograms per kilogram of body weight or below in humans. Equivalent to a therapeutic dose at approx. 1 mg. 3. Active ingredient with an OEL at or below 10-20 micrograms per m 3 air as an eight hour time weighted average. *Biological agents like a bacterium, virus, prion or fungus which may cause infection, allergy, toxicity or otherwise create a hazard to human health are not covered in this presentation 3

Why Risk Analyses? Systematic analysis of risks in order to identify adequate measures / tests Abstract analysis prior to the real performance (the opposite of trail and error ) Risk-based guidance to clear technical requirements Method to filter out the essential ( right ) requirements Systematic decision making 18
Damage without Risk Analyses Design requirements are not respected or forgotton Technical solutions are developed without clear requirements Tests (Qualification/Validation) are not complete Tests are performed although not necessary Conflicts may arise from not involving all competente persons Expensive solutions do not meet the major aims. Unforeseen conflicts 19
Fields of application Safety Environmental protection, health, safety at work (EHS) Security Operations with high hazard potential (Aviation and aerospace industry, medicine, radioactivity,.) Economy Quality Decision for investments (prospects and risks) Optimisation of costs (quality aims vs. costs) Readiness for delivery / time-management vs. costs Quality Management Design evaluation Change Management Quality control Inspection of incoming goods GMP Compliance: Equipment qualification, process validation, cleaning validation 20
International regulations concerning GMP Risk Analysis in the pharmaceutical & medical device industry EC Guide to Good Manufacturing Practice Annex 1 (Sterile Manufacturing), Annex 15 (Qualification and Validation), Annex 20 (Quality Risk Management) (2008) / ICH Q9 (2005) ISPE-GAMP5 ISPE Baseline Vol.1-Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (2 nd Edition, 2007) ASTM E2500-7 Standard ISO 14971(2007): Application of risk management to medical devices 21
GMP Risk Analysis Workflow Method & formal framework is traceable and agreed upon within the team The scope of Risk Analysis is be determined Project documentation on current status is available Interdisciplinary team of experts & process owners Unstressed workshop / meeting atmosphere 22
