Process Validation provides documented evidence with a high degree of certainty that a process will consistently produce product meeting its pre-determined quality attributes. Process Validation typically occurs after the Installation Qualification (IQ), Operational Qualification (OQ), and (when required) a Performance Qualification (PQ) have been satisfactorily completed. Successful process validation requires thorough process development, identification of controlled and critical parameters and in-process and final product specifications. Typically a minimum three (3) consecutive lots of product meeting the established quality specifications are necessary for process validation. These three consecutive lots are completed at the boundaries of critical parameters.

Cleaning Validation

Cleaning validation is documented proof that one can consistently and effectively cleanse a system or equipment item. The objective of cleaning validation is to ensure that a specific cleaning process will consistently clean to predetermined limits so as to prevent contaminants (product or cleaning process related) from leaving residues that will adulterate and adversely affect the safety and quality of the next product manufactured.
