ABSTRACT

Facilities that support the manufacturing, testing, storage, and dis­ tribution of medical products must be designed and constructed in a manner that protects the product and its processing. Facilities es­ tablish physical space and environmental conditions within that space. The required characteristics for any physical environment are determined by the purpose or intended use of the facility. Fa­ cility qualification studies should demonstrate that the facility is able to meet its intended use in the hands of the intended users of the facility.
