I'm pretty certain (from working for a major pharmaceutical company and having seen this first hand - I watched Cialis rolling off the production lines!) that this is talking about airlocks - which everything entering a production area needs to pass through.
You might be interested in the GMP glossary that I've referenced below.
Here is a description of the standard GMP process for entering a production area:
