ISO 15378:2017 Certification – Quality Management for Pharmaceutical Packaging Manufacturers

At Vektors, we understand that quality assurance and safety are paramount for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. ISO 15378:2017 is a critical certification for companies involved in the production of primary packaging materials for medicinal products.

Vektors offers comprehensive ISO 15378:2017 consultancy and training services to support organizations in achieving and maintaining this essential certification, ensuring they meet regulatory requirements and build trust with their clients.

What is ISO 15378:2017?

ISO 15378:2017 specifies the quality management system requirements for primary packaging manufacturers for medicinal products. This standard is tailored to meet the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical quality, incorporating aspects of GMP to ensure that packaging materials meet the necessary quality, safety, and efficacy standards. Primary packaging materials directly interact with medicinal products, and ISO 15378:2017 ensures they are manufactured to the highest standards to prevent contamination and degradation.

Who Should Implement ISO 15378:2017?

ISO 15378:2017 is ideal for manufacturers producing primary packaging materials that come into direct contact with medicinal products, such as glass vials, plastic bottles, aluminum seals, and blister packs. This certification is crucial for companies looking to:

  • Assure clients of adherence to quality and GMP standards
  • Minimize risks of contamination or product defects
  • Improve operational efficiencies through standardized processes
  • Strengthen market position by meeting international regulatory requirements
