Qualification and validation are critical steps in the Life Sciences industries, such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and biologics. Qualification is the process of verifying that the equipment, processes, and systems used to produce healthcare products are fit for their intended purpose. Validation is the process of demonstrating that the equipment, processes, and systems produce repeatable and reliable results.

The stakes of qualification and validation are high, because they guarantee the quality and safety of health products put on the market. It’s needed to manage different steps to perform qualification and validation. Through different project tools (V Cycle or Agile method, for example) it’s necessary to define the needs by URS, control it by Risk Analysis for example at first and compile all the strategy in a Validation Master Plan afterwards. To verify the needs, different tests must be designed and tracked in protocols : FAT/SAT, DR/QC, QI, QO, QP… All the tests sheets are combined in several reports such as the Validation Summary Report. These different steps have to be coordinated and Quality controled (using Change Control system) by assuring SOP and regulation fitting. Non-compliance with regulatory requirements for qualification and validation can lead to serious consequences for patients, such as adverse events or ineffective products. Qualification / Validation is needed also to optimize manufacturing processes and to avoid non-conformities to keep on empowering the industrialization mindset.
