Introduction:
This training enlightens an insight view of aseptic manufacturing facility and its features that
focus on possible measures to gain the advantages to execute all the measures to comply
with international standards and overcome pons-and-cons in the aspect of Sanitization. The
regulation tightens and pays vigorous attention in dealing with Aseptic Facility; therefore, the
Organization plays a major role to conduct training on appropriate technical personnel on
process flow of sanitization of an Aseptic Facility.

In a nutshell: Aseptic manufacturing is complex working procedure, which consists of

several consecutive and necessary working steps, each of them contributing its part towards
the aim of manufacturing an aseptic product (prevention of microbial contamination) with
strict compliance to the international regulation and standards, which can be achieved only
by having proper sanitization established procedures.
