Course Aim

This awareness course will help you understand the Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard’s requirements, its significance, and how your organization can comply with this essential standard to minimize antibiotic resistance and environmental risks.

Course Description

The Antimicrobial Resistance Industry Alliance (AMRIA) has made significant strides in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) by establishing the Antibiotic Manufacturing Standard. Published on June 14, 2022, this standard aims to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance and aquatic ecotoxicity stemming from the manufacturing of human antibiotics. The standard provides detailed guidelines for manufacturers in the global antibiotic supply chain, emphasizing the need for an effective environmental management system and adherence to Predicted No-Effect Concentrations (PNECs), ensuring responsible antibiotic production and environmental protection.

On-demand - training that’s even more flexible

BSI’s on-demand courses are market-leading and available 24/7. Developed by top subject matter experts, they contain the same high-quality content you will find in our tutor-led training, but with the added benefit of being able to learn at your own pace and at any time.
