In order to avoid contamination of pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical companies need to implement risk control for the use of lubricants in accordance with pharmaceutical quality manufacturing practices (GMP). Norbert Lubricants provides lubrication products for the pharmaceutical industry that are registered and certified.
In the GMP guidelines, risk control of lubricant contamination is a major concern, aimed at preventing any unsuitable substances from entering pharmaceutical products. In tablet presses, blister packers, capsule filling equipment, autoclaves or centrifuges, contact with auxiliary substances cannot be completely avoided. Therefore, risk control in pharmaceutical production includes all substances used in the manufacturing process - as well as lubricants in pharmaceutical equipment.
Norbert has developed a wide range of specialty lubricants for use in pharmacies that meet strict GMP standards and are NSF certified as H1 food grade lubricants. Norbert has a production facility that meets ISO 21469 international hygiene standards for the production of H1 grade lubricants, and its food grade lubricants are all NSF certified.
