Qualification
& Validation Approach

The qualification of equipment and the validation of processes is a central element of regulatory and customer requirements.

Our process describes the procedure and responsibilities for the qualification and validation of our equipment and processes, which have been classified within our risk assessment. It covers all processes from goods receipt to ready-for-sale goods.

Validation is the documented evidence that these processes consistently produce a result or product that meets the defined specifications.
