Verification and validation

Finally, the textbook concludes with two chapters discussing the design and maintenance of analytical methods, two topics of importance to analytical chemists. Chapter 14 considers the development of an analytical method, including its optimization, verification, and validation. Quality control and quality assessment are discussed in Chapter 15.

It can be applied to either a product design or a process. It is important for you to appreciate the difference bet veen verification and validation. 

The expression of chemical fate can be computerized using a code to perform the computations and predict the results when inputs simulating conditions of interest are provided. Two critical aspects of the use of computer codes for predicting geochemical fate are the verification and validation of the models on which the codes are based.

The second module. Method, involves determining the level of verification and validation to which the user s methodology has been subjected. Verification is the general process used to decide whether a method in question is capable of producing accurate and reliable data. Validation is an experimental process involving external corroboration by other laboratories (internal or external) of methods or the use of reference materials to evaluate the suitability of methodology (1). A menu of choices includes (1) the method has only been verified, (2) the method has been both verified and validated, or (3) the method has been neither verified or validated. 

The quality plan defines the inputs and outputs of any laboratory process. For example, the quality plans refer to the analytical methods, the irrstnrments and laboratory equipment that are used for the analysis, the characteristics of the analysis results etc. All laboratory processes (e g. analytical methods) and laboratory products (e g. analytical resrrlts) should be subject to verification and validation to ensme that they are fit for the ptrrpose. The acceptance criteria should be defined and records should always be kept as evidence of meeting the requirements. 

The design output of a laboratory process or laboratory service should include information to enable verification and validation to planned requirements. They should meet the input requirements and provide appropriate information to the interested parties due to use or have a benefit from these outputs. Examples of the output of design and development... 

Records of both verification and validation and review of changes of the design and development and any necessaiy action shall be maintained. 

Guidances recommend an integration of software life-cycle management and risk management activities. Software validation and verification activities must be conducted throughout the software life cycle [12,14]. Software verification and validation are terms frequently confused. Software verification is defined as the process that provides objective evidence that the design outputs of a particular phase of the software development life cycle meet all of the specified requirements for that phase... 

The design and development of the product is controlled, and the design and development stages are defined. The review, verification, and validation that are appropriate to each design and development stage, and the responsibilities and authorities for design and development are clearly defined and assigned.

It is appropriate to discuss cleaning verification in a little more detail since the principle of cleaning verification is currently very widely used in development facilities. The main difference between verification and validation is in the number of events captured. For validation, the requirements to refer to a cleaning process as validated are that, first of all, three identical batches of a single... 

Determining what is an acceptable amount of residue remaining on the equipment is at the very heart of cleaning verification and validation. The determination of acceptable carryover limits for pharmaceutical equipment and facilities is actually addressing the question of What is clean To those who feel that equipment and facilities should always be cleaned to the level of analytical detectability, I will only say that approach is certainly always acceptable, and in some cases, a very reasonable approach. In most cases, however, cleaning to the lowest level of analytical detectability has a couple of major disadvantages. The first problem with this approach is that current analytical capability is so incredibly sensitive that the previously manufactured product(s) can almost al-...

Compnters are widely used in analytical laboratories for instrument control, data evaluation, and data management, and are subject to all validation and verification activities. Verification and validation activities to assess compnter systems used in analytical laboratories cover all life-cycle phases, from nser Reqnirements Specifications, design, development, and manufacturing to installation and operation. In this case stndy, users of computer systems will find guidelines on ...

Realistically, however, many of our computational submodules for combustion, radiation, pyrolysis, etc. are still primitive, and even inclusion of all models within a computation becomes cumbersome to calculate, and excessive in use of computational resources and time. Continued verification and validation is required at almost every level of CFD prediction. These caveats notwithstanding, there does exist exciting progress in the use and interpretation of numerical predictions of fire behavior.
