Guidance on validation requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes is also given.  This Technical Specification provides information for health care facilities (see Clause 3) and for the medical devices industry (see Clause 4).  It does not provide guidance for applications of packaging materials and systems after their opening. In the use of packaging for other purposes such as a "sterile field" or transport of contaminated items, other regulatory standards will apply.
