Veenbrink RVS makes use of certified welding processes and is familiar with all PED-related laws and regulations. Furthermore, we are familiar with the GMP, GAMP5, EHEDG and machine directives. Products are designed in accordance with different design codes, such as EN13445, ASME VIII, AD2000 and RToD.
The focus of Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) is to ensure that reliable products are produced in a consistent manner. To be able to do this, it is necessary to meticulously document how and under which conditions a product is manufactured. This starts off with well-written procedures, protocols and processes that all must be followed. This includes things such as inspecting all raw materials, semi-finished products, end products and – of course – the corresponding material certificates. The entire production method must also be documented in advance, whereby all process steps and the actions carried out are recorded in the documentation provided by Veenbrink RVS. Should something inadvertently turn out to be amiss, this makes it possible to track down how the product was manufactured, who has tested it and the raw materials that were used.
Where GMP is an often used term in the production of pharmaceutical tanks, GAMP – Good Automated Manufacturing Practices – is an often used term in the automation segment. The objective of GAMP is to assist companies and suppliers in the pharmaceutical and related business sectors in producing validated automated systems. Automated systems for the pharmaceutical and food industries must comply with strict criteria and laws and regulations. The GAMP guideline provides suppliers of such systems with advice for the design and maintenance of these systems by following good practices and by providing guidelines for preparing the documents that are needed to validate the system. GAMP originates from GMP legislation and can be viewed as a structured and project-oriented approach for validating automation systems.
European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group. The name already says it all: the objective of the EHEDG guidelines is to ensure that the product and process are designed to be hygienic and aseptic. The impact of contaminated foods can be gigantic and even disastrous, physically as well as financially. Having food that is making consumers sick as a result of which the relevant products must be removed from shelves is an unbearable thought. Every risk of contamination must be eliminated during the design of the process equipment, as well as during food production. Veenbrink RVS is more than aware of the critical importance of having hygienic process equipment. We are familiar with all EHEDG guidelines and the additional related aseptic requirements in this regard. This manifests itself in various ways, such as limiting dead spaces, a high finishing standard with low Ra values and the right choice of process connections for specific applications.
