• Particle generation and contamination are kept to a minimum,
• Environmental testing of Primary Engineering Control(s) and controlled areas are performed by qualified individuals,
• Action limits are in place to detect excursions from this control, and
• A Quality Assurance Program is implemented to ensure the clear definition, application and verification of all activities affecting the quality of the final product.
