As a pharmaceutical enterprise, the whole production process must meet the GMP standards in order to ensure product quality, and the GMP purification workshop technology of biopharmaceutical enterprises is one of the main means to ensure the successful implementation of GMP.
According to the number of bacteria and dust particles in the environment as the main control objects, while the environmental temperature and humidity, pressure difference, illumination, noise and other relevant provisions are made, the biopharmaceutical workshop clean zoning is divided into A, B, C, D four levels. Specific requirements are as follows:

Instructions:
Class A area: high-risk operating areas, such as filling areas, areas where plastic plug barrels, open ampoules, open westphalling bottles are placed and areas where sterile assembly lines or connection operations are performed. Laminar flow operating table (hood) is usually used to maintain the environmental state of the area. The laminar flow system must supply air uniformly in its working area, and the wind speed is 0.3-0.54M/S, (guideline value). There should be data to prove the state of the laminar flow and need verification. Unidirectional flow or lower wind speed may be used in a closed isolated operating area or glove box.
Class B area: refers to the background area of Class A area for high-risk operations such as aseptic preparation and filling.
Class C area and Class D area: refers to the less important degree of clean operation area in the production of sterile drugs.
Class A, B is equivalent to class 100, A level of the background environment is higher, more stringent requirements.
Class C is equivalent to class 10,000, Class D is equivalent to class 100,000
