“Emphasis on Compliance, Data Integrity, and Automation in Testing Processes”
- Growing regulatory pressure from agencies such as the EMA (European Medicines Agency) and MHRA is driving demand for advanced packaging testing solutions that ensure data integrity, repeatability, and compliance with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards
- Increasing adoption of fully automated and integrated packaging testing equipment enables real-time monitoring, traceability, and consistent quality across pharmaceutical production lines
- Innovations in non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies, such as vacuum decay, laser-based leak detection, and high-resolution imaging, are improving test accuracy without damaging packaging
- For instance, in February 2024, Sepha Ltd. launched a new generation of vacuum decay testers in the EU market, compliant with USP <1207> standards and equipped with digital data logging systems to support regulatory audits
- This trend reflects the industry’s broader shift toward digitized, standardized, and highly compliant testing infrastructure to meet stringent pharmaceutical packaging validation requirements
