Schedule M compliant cleanroom panels are now essential for Indian pharmaceutical companies upgrading to meet the 2023–24 regulatory standards. With the new Schedule M enforcement, cleanroom infrastructure must meet stricter norms — and for older facilities built with RCC or plaster walls, achieving this can be costly and time-consuming.
Trio India offers a game-changing retrofit solution: Schedule M compliant cleanroom panels that install directly over existing surfaces without demolition. This article explains how these panels help pharmaceutical manufacturers meet compliance requirements quickly, affordably, and without shutting down operations.
Why Schedule M Compliance Matters More Than Ever
The revised Schedule M guidelines elevate the expectations for cleanroom surfaces, finishes, contamination control, and infrastructure validation. Outdated walls made of brick or painted RCC simply don’t qualify anymore.
If your facility fails to meet these guidelines, you risk:
-
Failed inspections
-
Delayed approvals
-
Production halts
-
Increased microbial risks
But rebuilding entire cleanroom sections is disruptive and expensive. That’s where Schedule M compliant cleanroom panels from Trio India come in.
Common Issues in Legacy Pharma Plants
Many existing plants suffer from:
-
Painted brick or RCC walls
-
Open joints and cracked corners
-
No coving at wall-floor junctions
-
Surfaces that are not antimicrobial
-
Missing DQ/IQ/OQ documentation
Each of these violates a specific Schedule M clause. Left unaddressed, they can derail audits and hurt operational efficiency. These violations can be quickly corrected using Trio India’s Schedule M compliant cleanroom panels.
