Within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector, validation and qualification form an important part of the quality system. However, understanding the differences between different regulatory agencies and the recommendations of different standards can be a bewildering project. This book seeks to provide a map and a compass for navigating the choppy waters of international regulations.
GMP Validation provides a text for those who need to assess validation and ensure that validation is conducted according to current GMP. These include the validation manager and personnel engaged in validation activities; quality assurance; quality control; R&D; and production personnel. Some of the scientific aspects will also appeal to students, especially those working within or aspiring to enter the pharmaceutical sector. The book also serves as a good starting point for those who are tasked with auditing validation systems or items of equipment or processes.
This comprehensive handbook is comprised of 30 chapters which are divided into two parts. The first part is dedicated to the management process, with an emphasis upon appropriate formality and risk-based approaches. The second part focuses on case studies, providing an overview of different GMPs and standards for different areas of validation and qualification.The book concludes with four useful appendicesproviding templates to aid the reader.
