Validation

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

(Redirected from Validates)

Validation is a process that ensures a product, system, or component during production meets the specified requirements. It is a critical step in many industries, including software development, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Validation is often associated with the term "verification," but the two have distinct meanings. Verification is the process of checking that a product, system, or component meets specified requirements, while validation is the process of evaluating a system during or at the end of the development process to determine whether it satisfies the specified requirements.

Types of Validation[edit | edit source]

There are several types of validation, including:

  • Design validation: This involves ensuring that the product's design meets all the specified requirements. It is typically performed on the final product under defined operating conditions.
  • Process validation: This involves validating the process used to manufacture the product. It ensures that the process is capable of consistently delivering quality products.
  • Analytical validation: This involves validating the analytical methods used to test the product. It ensures that the methods are suitable for their intended use.

Importance of Validation[edit | edit source]

Validation is important for several reasons:

  • It ensures that the product, system, or component meets the specified requirements.
  • It helps to identify and correct errors and defects early in the development process, which can save time and money.
  • It provides confidence to customers and regulatory authorities that the product is safe and effective.
