GUIDE
Annex 1 Garment Audit Readiness Guide
The Annex 1 Garment Audit Readiness Guide gives you a practical framework to evaluate your Annex 1 compliance position. It takes you through the full garment lifecycle, to assess your documentation and garment continuity plan, and offers you useful tools, like a checklist and inspector question bank to apply to your garment services partner..
The Cleanroom Continuity Guide is a data‑driven framework, made to help cleanroom leaders anticipate and prevent disruptions. It explains the five continuity risks, the economics behind downtime, and the resilience systems that protect operations.
X-rays are emerging as a serious alternative to traditional sterilisation methods for pharma products and medical devices. This paper walks through how X-ray sterilisation works and why it's gaining ground alongside methods like UV, plasma, and supercritical gases.
Cleaning matters - The effective use of cleaning as part of contamination control
Cleaning and disinfection get lumped together, but they're distinct processes with different jobs to do. Learn how to treat them as separate, interlinked steps to cut contamination risk more effectively.
A sustainability perspective on Gamma radiation and X-ray methods
Gamma radiation and X-ray sterilisation both get the job done, but not with the same environmental footprint. Compare the two head-to-head on energy use, waste, and efficacy, and see why X-ray comes out ahead on sustainability.
Reassessing the reliability of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) in decision making
Life Cycle Assessment and Product Environmental Footprint scores are often treated as hard fact. This paper questions how reliable those numbers really are, and what that means for teams using them to guide sustainability decisions.
Disinfectant evaluation in combination with wipes & mops
A disinfectant is only as good as the wipe or mop delivering it. See how suspension tests, surface tests, and field trials come together to properly qualify a disinfectant's real-world performance.
The 'field of view' of safety goggles: an attribute not to be overlooked
Most PPE guidance focuses on protection specs and forgets about how well you can actually see. This paper unpacks why field of view matters for cleanroom goggles, and how it affects both safety and day-to-day comfort.
EU GMP Annex 1's 2022 update quietly added a new gowning requirement most teams haven't fully caught up on. Find out exactly when cleanroom socks are required, and where they fit in the pre-change sequence for Grade B and C entry.
Not all cleaning and disinfectant materials are the same
Wipe and mop head materials aren't interchangeable, especially once cleaning and disinfection have different goals. This paper compares material options side by side to help you match the right one to each cleanroom grade.
When a spill happens, your mop head's absorbency can make or break your response. Get a clear look at how different materials and manufacturing methods affect absorbency, so you can choose with confidence.
Sock to sock: Mitigating the risk from personal socks for the cleanroom change procedure
Personal socks worn under cleanroom garments are an overlooked contamination risk. This guide breaks down practical steps to manage that risk, aimed at cleanroom managers, safety officers, and QA teams.
Not all wipes perform the same in a controlled environment. This guide walks through material composition, structure, edge type, and compatibility, so you can pick the wipe that actually fits your process.
Choosing cleanroom goggles isn't just about ticking a regulatory box. This paper lays out the relevant standards and offers a practical checklist to guide your selection process from start to finish.
Mopping looks simple, but it directly affects contamination control, compliance, and product integrity. This collection rounds up the essentials, from picking the right mop to understanding what disinfection testing actually proves.
ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and thousands of other standards shape how businesses operate, yet few people understand how the system actually works. This guide explains the mechanics of standardisation and what's currently trending in the space.
ISO 14001 - Building a greener future through smarter business
STAXS® earned its ISO 14001 certification in April 2025, a milestone in its sustainability journey. This paper explains what the certification actually covers and how it supports the company's broader environmental goals.
Sustainability in the cleanroom - A scientific approach
The cleanroom industry is caught between rising sustainability expectations and strict regulatory demands. See how the EU's Green Deal is reshaping the rules, and what that shift means for controlled environments specifically.
The EU's plan for climate neutrality by 2050 has shifted since the 2024 elections. This essay tracks where the Green Deal stands today and what's likely to survive the new European Commission's priorities.
Biobased and circular plastics are being pitched as the next step for sustainable materials. This paper looks at where that technology stands today and what's realistic for adoption going forward.
