Regulatory requirement
Validation / qualification
Validation
The documented evidence that the process, operated within established parameters, can perform effectively and reproducibly to produce a medicinal product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes
Qualification
A process of assurance that the specific system, premises or equipment are able to achieve the predetermined acceptance criteria to confirm the attributes what it purports to do
Tend to think of qualifying equipment, systems etc. and validating processes and procedures
Validation / Qualification

CAR

Family car……………
One to pull boys/girls with……......
Why validate?
To demonstrate a state of control over the processes, equipment, and facility systems
To reduce errors, and generation of inaccurate results
Ensure results are reproducible
Regulatory requirements
Validation activities should be:
• Planned
• Follow approved protocol with defined acceptance criteria set out in advance of validation
• Fully documented with any changes and deviations noted and investigated as appropriate
• Should consider ‘state’ of processes , equipment etc
• Performed by suitably trained personnel
Validation / qualification
QC controls
Analytical method
validation
Equipment used in analytical method
qualification
Ongoing verification
Stages… eg buying as new piece of equipment for the labUser Requirement SpecificationSet out what you want from the piece of equipment
Design QualificationIf bespoke piece of equipment
Installation QualificationTo ensure installed and working properly with all required services
Operational QualificationTo ensure the equipment operates to the standards you require and in compliance with URS
Performance QualificationThe equipment is challenged to demonstrate is can work reproducibly within the specified working range
