Richard Hall Hall is a Mechanical Engineer and is responsible for business development at Rattiinox, SA – an Italian manufacturer of CIPfriendly aseptic valves, connectors and PUPSIT filters.
He is a member of: four ASME BPE task groups (CIP, valve certification, Appendix K/valve testing and vessel certification), the ISPE Europe Biotech SIG, PDA, A3P and is the technical lead for the ASTM E55.03 group: Clean by Design, which is writing a new standard for the specification, design, manufacture & test of easy-to-CIP-clean manufacturing systems for the (bio)pharmaceutical industry.
Richard describes himself as an SME - Subject Matter Enthusiast (not Expert) and is passionate about helping change-resistant, stainless-steel (multi-use) equipment manufacturers to improve the cleanability of their equipment to improve production efficiencies and use less water, energy and chemicals in CIP cleaning processes. Richard hopes that this will allow a re-appraisal of the multi/single-use conundrum for users.
