Validation is a systematic approach to gathering and analyzing sufficient data which will give reasonable assurance (documented evidence), based upon scientific judgment, that a process, when operating within specified parameters, will consistently produce results within predetermined specifications. It is an action of proving, in accordance with the principles of good manufacturing practice, that any procedure, process, equipment, material, activity, or system actually leads to the expected result. It is a documented evidence which provides a high degree of assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes and characteristics. It is used as obtaining and documenting evidence to demonstrate that a method can be relied upon to produce the intended result within defined limits.
The minimum requirements of method validation are discussed below. In the case of methods developed from scratch in-house a much more comprehensive approach covering the other parameters described below will be required. Few laboratories, however, take this approach and the norm is to adopt and perhaps slightly modify standard methods.
Limit of detection: Limit of detection (LOD) is defined as the lowest concentration of an analyte in a sample that can be distinguished from a blank. It is expressed as a concentration at a certain specified signal-to-noise ratio, usually two-or three to one. Where measurements are made at low analyte level e.g. in trace analysis, it is important to know what is the lowest concentration of the analyte that can be confidently detected by the method. as a method is used at lower and lower levels the precision deteriorates. Effectively the measurement becomes subject to increasing 'noise'. The limit of detection is the point at which, with a defined probability, it becomes possible to distinguish signal from noise. Normally 95% probability, is the relevant level.
There are a few vital components of Validation like Increased throughput, lessening in dismissals and adjusting, diminishment in utility expenses, shirking of capital consumptions, less grievances about procedure related disappointments, decreased testing in-procedure and in completed products, more quick and solid start-up of new gear, less demanding scale-up from advancement work, less demanding support of hardware, enhanced worker familiarity with procedures and more fast mechanization.
Since the mid-1970s validation has become an increasingly dominant influence in the manufacture and quality assurance of pharmaceutical products. In 1976 the FDA proposed a whole set of current GMP regulations which were revised several times. In several major countries GMP regulations are considered official law and noncompliance is prosecutable. Additional compliance policies, guides, and guidelines are not legally binding. However, the pharmaceutical industry follows them as a part of good management and business practice. The demands in the health care industry are greater than ever because customers (government, physicians, pharmacists, patients, and health insurance companies) are more interested in product safety, efficacy, and potency and asking value for money. Pharmaceutical products' quality must be consistent and meet the health and regulatory requirements. The pharmaceutical industry has the obligation to validate GMP to their process to be in compliance with GMP requirements.
