VALIDATION
The Validation Protocol is drawn up according to GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice) and GAMP (Guide for Validation of Automated Systems in Pharmaceutical Manufacture).
The Protocol Validation contains within itself the Functional Specifications and design of the machine, as well, all the cards necessary for testing the performance of tests to which the machine must be submitted during FAT (Factory Acceptance Tests, or "testing the car at the Manufacturer") and SAT (Site Acceptance Tests, or "testing the machine at user") .
The standard phases of the validation procedure are classified into the following main points:
-
1. Supplies Audits
2. Specification Reviews
3. Functional Specifications
4. DQ - Design Qualification
5. VQ - Vendor Qualification
6. IQ - Installation Qualification (FAT)
7. OQ - Operational Qualification (FAT)
8. PQ - Performance Qualification (FAT)
9. IQ - Installation Qualification (SAT)
10. OQ - Operational Qualification (SAT)
11. PQ - Performance Qualification (SAT)
