Surrogates such as naproxen sodium, lactose and mannitol are used in place of an API to determine particulate containment provided by a containment equipment such as an isolator. Selection of a surrogate, surrogate properties (moisture content, particle size distribution), methods for surrogate monitoring, locations of area positional samples, and Containment Performance Target (CPT) concentrations, are critical in the decision making, among other factors. The speakers will share surrogate monitoring methods utilizing ISPE Good Practice Guide: Assessing the Particulate Containment Performance of Pharmaceutical Equipment.

The issue of Pharmaceuticals in the Environment (PiE) is an increasing public concern. While manufacturing losses represent a small percentage of the overall API mass entering the environment, the PSCI is committed to addressing localized risks that may occur from pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. Many companies are requiring that their facilities – and their major suppliers – establish estimates for API mass loss and the resulting Predicted Environmental Concentration (PEC) in the water body that ultimately receives a facility’s wastewater discharge.
The PSCI-endorsed method for estimating API mass loss is to follow a mass balance approach where the API inputs, outputs, and losses are accounted for, allowing the mass entering wastewater to be estimated. The PSCI has developed a set of detailed guidance documents on how to approach the mass balance calculations, including this presentation which provides an overview of:
Our approach
Our methodology
Real-world examples
We were delighted to be joined on this webinar by:
Elizabeth Girardi-Schoen, Global Environmental Sustainability Leader at Pfizer
Jason Rushing, PE, Principal Engineer and PiE Subject Matter Expert at Arcadis
Nolan Chase, EIT, Consultant and PiE Specialist at Arcadis
Since 2016, a group of PSCI members have been working together to standardize their environmental data request to suppliers through a common set of questions, known as the PSCI Environmental Survey. The benefit is that suppliers should be receiving a common set of questions, but currently companies collect the data using different routes: some use an Excel file, and some a third-party platform.
The PSCI has now built the Environmental Survey into the PSCI platform for suppliers (called The Link). Each of the PSCI’s 50 members will now be able to use that platform to collect data from suppliers and we anticipate that many will do so. We hope that this will streamline and simplify your reporting of environmental and carbon emissions to your customers as one reply can now be shared with many customers.
Watch this webinar to learn more about the new platform and how to use it. You'll hear about:
Data captured by the survey
Technical aspects of the environmental survey
How to access the PSCI Link platform
Responding to requests to share your data from PSCI members
We were delighted to be joined by Alejandro Fiocco, Partner at Carnstone and Secretariat for the PSCI Environment Team.

The slides used during the webinar are available for download below.
Participants (including registrants who were unable to attend) are invited to share feedback about this webinar here.
Please also note that guidance about the Environmental survey is available here (the excel version is accessible here).
This document is a step by step guidance on using the PSCI Environmental survey for suppliers on the PSCI platform. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
This file contains the latest version of the PSCI Environmental survey for suppliers in Excel. The scoring for each question is detailed and questions are mapped across to the previous version.
This document provides a guidance for auditors to classify Critical-Major-Minor findings under all five PSCI principles. It is for guidance only and each organization can have its own interpretations.
It is intended to be a living document, which will be reviewed and updated regularly by SAQ/Audit and Audit Guidance sub team.
This document was updated in June 2024 to align with the updated PSCI Principles. For each principle, the examples have been updated and reviewed by a working group formed from the SAQ/Audit and Audit Guidance sub-team. The updated document now also includes complete examples for the minor classification findings.
