Formal qualification

For larger projects, an individual validation project plan should be developed. This plan is derived from the validation master plan. It formalizes qualification and validation and outlines what has to be done to get a specific system into compliance. For inspectors it is the first indication on the control that a laboratory has over a specific computerized system, and it also gives a first impression of the validation quality. 

It is extremely important if timing and budget permit to perform a trial study on any test condition referenced in the OQ or PQ documents. This is especially true for major pieces of equipment, such as a mixer or coater. The reasoning is that if a test condition cannot be achieved during formal qualification, a deviation and an explanation will be required, thereby increasing the documentation requirements. 

Formalized qualification efforts can provide more rapid start-up of equipment and processes. 

Any utility in direct product contact is subject to formal qualification through confirmation of the quality of the delivered material at each use point. Water-for-injection (WFI) systems are considered the most critical of all, and the qualification period for WFI is the longest and may be as long as 3 months. The remaining product contact utilities can be qualified more rapidly. Nonproduct utilities requirements can be satisfied by commissioning.

Abstract Existing software and computer systems in laboratories require retrospective evaluation and validation if their initial validation was not formally documented. The key steps in this process are similar to those for the validation of new software and systems user requirements and system specification, formal qualification, and procedures to ensure ongoing performance during routine operation. 

Unit testing is the testing of the smaller identifiable software components (units). Integration testing is performed to demonstrate that units and higher-level components of the system work together. Formal qualification testing is another term for validation and is performed to formally demonstrate that the software meets its established requirements. 

Many firms rely on a C of A supplied by the supplier in lieu of actually performing required testing. This becomes a more proactive means of assuring the quality of the material. Acceptance of a C of A is possible after a partnership is established with the supplier through a formal qualification and evaluation of the supplier s capabilities and reliability. Typically the process involves an initial questionnaire, followed by an audit by trained auditors and purchasing representatives. This helps determine if the supplier is qualified to produce the material consistently and in accordance with the firm s expectations. The material then needs to be approved for use in the manufacturing process this is typically done with three distinct... 

Following the completion of application testing, the formal qualification testing process begins. 

Production operator and craft worker positions which are managed under a formal qualification and training program are not required to have an associated MOPC. However, the qualification and training program must be defined.

However, the formal proof of capability to produce quality of the companies involved and as precise a description as possible of the requirements and conditions of the constmction project is not sufficient to succeed with the constmction project. Those involved must also not only have the formal qualifications but also the capability, i.e. specialist knowledge, experience and availability of specialists, machines and equipment, to meet the project requirements Accreditation procedures and voluntarily certification associations offer the possibility that both testing and inspection bodies, which are involved in the context of qualify assurance, and the companies involved in constmction work can prove their specialist competence.

Software has been developed for use in many safety critical and safety related triplications. In using software for these aiqilications it is necessary that we have understanding and control of the processes used to generate this software. There are many standards, methods and tools available to support the generation of software. Certain standards include requirements for personnel involved in the generation of software e.g. [1], but these are limited to formal qualifications and required experience. This psqier however, addresses the human involvement in the software generation process and more particulaity the errors introduced by humans into software.
