Conor Murray has over 40 years as an expert developing my knowledge and skills on Cleanrooms and Biosafety Labs. Conor’s background is as a process engineer and then as a Subject Matter Expert in contamination control in Cleanrooms, GMP & Clean Controlled Environments and Biosafety, including specialist containment & isolation facilities.
Conor is Chair of TC5, the HealthCare Standards Consultative (HCSC) committee for NSAI (National Standards Authority of Ireland) and represents Ireland as Head of Delegation and Subject Matter Expert (SME), in ISO/TC209 on cleanroom standardisation. Conor is Convenor of working groups in ISO/TC 209 and CEN/TC 243 on Microbiological Contamination Control. He is also active in CEN/TC 332, WG8 on the revision of EN 12469 on Biosafety Cabinets. Conor's particular expertise cover CQV, Commissioning & Performance Verification (CPV), GMP Cleanroom regulatory compliance preparation audits, QMS & SOPs, QRM and Risk/Impact Assessments, Integrated EM, Lifecycle Sustainability & Energy Efficiency. He is a past President of the Irish Chapter, CTTC RVC for Region XIV, RL9 for RAC and past member of EHC.
