  • selection of quality components and materials,

  • adequate product and process design,

  • statistical control of the process through in-process and end-product testing

Factors to consider in Process Validation

Process Validation

Action of proving, in accordance with the principles of GMP, that any procedure, process, equipment, material, activity or system actually leads to the expected results

EU / PIC/S

New cards
4

Process Validation

• The collection and evaluation of data, beginning at the process development stage and continuing through the production phase, which ensures that the manufacturing processes -including equipment, buildings, personnel and materials -are capable of achieving the intended results on a consistent and continuous basis.

New cards
22

Prospective Validation

. During this step the input resources are selected and clearly specified. Each step in the development of new manufacturing process is required to be established to give a desired result.

equipment and process parameter;

specified operating condition, if there is any;

and defined level of training of people

Prospective Validation example:

New cards
25

Retrospective Validation -

is used for facilities, processes and process control parameters used in operation that have not undergone in documented validation process but it is possible using historical data (QA/QC records) to provide the necessary documented evidence that the process is doing what is believed to do

26

Retrospective Validation -

this type of validation is only acceptable for well established processes.

New cards
27

Revalidation -

is a repetition of the validation process and it is required under the following circumstances: major changes in critical process parameters of formula, equipment, procedures, or quality of raw material or even in physical variation of raw material like particle size, changes in facilities and installation which influence process
