Due to the great success of last year's GDP Expert Seminar "GDP Mapping and Temperature Monitoring Strategies in the Post-Corona Era" held in Tokyo and Osaka, there has been a high demand for an on-demand webinar. Therefore, we will be distributing it in three parts. In this GDP seminar, we will comprehensively examine regulations, guidance, and technology to deepen our understanding of the latest GDP environment. A comprehensive understanding will greatly assist in building a foundation for GDP compliance to meet current regulatory requirements. Throughout the seminar, we will consider the best business choices required in the post-corona era together with all participants. In Part 1, we will mainly discuss the following points: • What areas have been reached in GDP compliance due to regulatory changes over the past 15 years? • What changes has the pandemic brought to GDP? • The "logical" perspective of GDP compliance and the "regulatory compliance" perspective of GMP.

With the focus on vaccine manufacturing and storage, the quality risks associated with temperature and humidity management have become a significant challenge for pharmaceutical companies. Additionally, as the importance of data integrity continues to rise, the handling of monitoring data as a valuable corporate asset has also come into focus. Vaisala launched a wireless environmental monitoring system equipped with its proprietary communication technology, VaiNet, in November 2020. This system has been highly praised by users for enabling long-distance communication, providing "design flexibility," and achieving "remote monitoring." In this webinar, we will address questions and comments from viewers of past webinars and users, discussing the differences from traditional monitoring systems, the challenges faced during actual implementation and operation, and Vaisala's perspective on remote monitoring as a new standard from the product design standpoint.

Temperature management in the pharmaceutical market has undergone technical changes alongside the history of GMP and has achieved further technological advancements following the issuance of GDP. One of the significant factors behind these technological advancements is the increasing importance of temperature management in storage areas, which has led to the demand for efficient and flexible environmental monitoring systems. Environmental monitoring systems based on advanced wireless technology can address the challenges faced by traditional system designs in the shortest distance, aligning with the needs of the times. Moreover, in an era where the importance of temperature management is heightened due to changes in pharmaceutical properties and the tightening of regulatory requirements, the effectiveness of user-friendly application software during daily management and inspections is becoming increasingly important. We will explain the impact of Vaisala's unique Vainet wireless environmental monitoring system, launched last November, which offers design flexibility due to its long-range radio characteristics, as well as the effects brought by wireless loggers and access points based on new concepts, covering the entire lifecycle from installation to calibration. *If you are unable to attend at the scheduled time, you can also access the content on demand for free.*

Vaisala's HUMICAP(R) humidity sensor and BAROCAP(R) pressure sensor will be utilized in the measurement instruments of the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI) and will be mounted on NASA's exploration rover "Perseverance." This will enable Vaisala to provide reliable atmospheric observations for NASA's Mars exploration project. Additionally, on July 20 (Monday), we will hold a webcast talk event in collaboration with FMI on the importance of measurements in space research. *For more details and to register, please visit the URL provided.

By examining samples of FDA warning letters and 483s, we will learn how to avoid compliance violations during actual audits. The goal of this webinar is to help you gain more confidence in environmental management for your next audit. Common failure cases: - Issues with validation documents - Expired or nonexistent training records for personnel - Lack of SOPs for environmental monitoring - Absence of calibration documents or overdue calibrations - Inability to implement changes in management procedures/security issues Date and Time: July 1, 2020 (Wednesday) at 15:00 Title: "Building an Environmental Monitoring System that Complies with GxP Regulations" Speaker: Paul Daniel, Senior Regulatory Compliance Expert, Vaisala US Duration: Approximately 60 minutes We sincerely look forward to your participation.

We are pleased to announce that our company will be holding a webinar titled "Selection of CO₂ Measurement Devices Considering TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) Suitable for Agriculture." CO₂ measurement is widely used in agriculture. However, maintaining accurate measurement values over the long term is not actually easy. Even slight deviations in measurement values can significantly impact the quality of the final products. It is important to comprehensively consider both the initial investment and the ongoing maintenance and management costs when selecting equipment. In this webinar, we will introduce how to select the optimal CO₂ measurement devices for agriculture from the perspective of TCO. We will explain practical examples of CO₂ measurement in greenhouses, mushroom cultivation, livestock barns, and poultry farms, as well as new technologies of the Vaisala 'CARBOCAP(R) CO2 Sensor' that employs a single light source dual-wavelength comparison infrared non-dispersive method. Additionally, we will specifically discuss the following topics: - Potential risks that may arise when measuring CO₂ - Useful advice for ensuring reliable CO₂ measurement practices We look forward to your participation.
