This course provides a structured approach to validation practices, to ensure the packaging of a drug, medical device or allied product, conforms to its predetermined specification.

The need to translate customer/user requirements to measurable specifications, followed by controlled processing is explained. Emphasis is on practical ways of implementing validation, using protocols, SOP’s, planning, statistics, process controls and other tools. The Validation-Master Plan/Protocol, protocols, templates for IQ, OQ and PQ, and change controls are all detailed with text.

Exercises in small groups and discussions will offer participants practice to develop skills to prevent or eliminate faults, failures and rejects in processing.
