ASME BPE Scope
This Standard deals with the requirements
of the bioprocessing, pharmaceutical, and
personall care product
d t industries
i d t i as well ll
as other applications with relatively high
levels of hygienic requirements, covering
directly or indirectly the subjects of
materials, design, fabrication,
inspections, testing, and certification.

What are the current trends in
the BioPharm industry?
Trend #1
Multi-Product, Contract Manufacturing
Facilities
One facility has to be
accepted by:
Several operating
companies
Several regulatory
agencies from around
the globe.
g
International Standards
are CRITICAL to
address this trend
13
Trend #2
Better yields Higher titers than ever before
Equipment size is
generally
ll staying
t i about
b t
the same size or getting
smaller.
Better use of current
designs and materials
The demand for larger
andd larger
l equipment
i t
has decreased.
Higher energy
efficiency.
Limited by downstream
processing equipment.
Trend #3
Focus on quality Fittings, Tubing, and Valves
is being replaced by todays demand for better
performing Materials (ie: Alloys,
Thermoplastics, Elastomers)
2 year lifespan
Resistance to steam and
corrosives
Consistent (Repeatable)
Material Performance is
CRITICAL
End Users just expect fittings,
tubing, and valves to meet the
standards.
14
Internationally accepted Acceptance
Criteria is required for all 3 trends.
Science-Based
Requirements
q
Not too restrictive or
expensive
Consideration for the 5-10
year old system Not just
thee new
ew system
sys e ((they ey aree

How do I get involved in the
ASME BPE?
Go to a meeting and listen to the
Subcommittee Sessions.
Determine where your technical
strengths would help.
Participate in a Task Group.
Speak up and be an active
participant in the Subcommittee
Sessions.
