Validation...
3 questions à Yann RENOUARD*, Responsable Validation et Métrologie
What is validation?
Validation is one of the important steps to present a case to the health authorities. Validation allows, with supporting documents, to demonstrate that a method or an analytical method reproducibly leads to the expected results.According to GMPs: it is a "documented program that provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process, method or system will consistently provide a result that meets predetermined acceptance criteria".
What is it used for?
Validation is used to demonstrate the control of critical aspects of a new process or to demonstrate that significant changes in plant, equipment or process have no impact on the quality of a product. These critical aspects of a new process are defined when performing a risk analysis.What does Bio Elpida offer in this context?
