Vantaa, Finland: Vaisala, will host a live webinar to share latest best practice on GxP temperature mapping.

The webinar, hosted by Vaisala’s senior regulatory compliance expert Paul Daniel, will focus on modern rules and best practice for validation and mapping, providing five crucial rules for correct sensor placement. The rules are presented in simple mathematical format to allow those with limited experience of designing and performing mapping studies to determine appropriate sensor placement. Mr. Daniel will also discuss recently published guidance that applies to environmental mapping.

The webinar Modern Rules for an Old Practice: Sensor Placement for GxP Temperature Mapping begins at 4 PM (GMT) on February 26, 2015, and will be followed by a live question and answer period. Mr. Daniel will also answer detailed queries by email following the webinar.

Massive increase in scope

“This webinar is really designed for regulatory, quality and validation managers, metrology monitors and those in charge of facilities, labs and warehouses and anyone else who needs to meet latest regulatory requirements for validating temperature and humidity in controlled environments,” said Paul Daniel.

Recent global regulatory changes in Good Distribution Practice (GDP) have massively increased the scope and need for temperature mapping,” he noted.

“For anyone new to performing or reviewing mapping studies, or who needs to train individuals unfamiliar with mapping, knowing these new rules will be an invaluable asset,” Mr. Daniel added.

The webinar is one of a series of tutorials hosted by Vaisala on different aspects of GxP environmental management.
