ולדיציה – Validation case study – part 1

ולדיציה -1 Validation Requirements – case study- part

 This article was written by Iian Shaya, validation,automation and control expert

Validation Requirements is a document which may be part of the validation documentation that describes the validation strategy for a system or subsystem. This document is generic; the system or subsystem may include a PC with Human/Machine Interface (HMI), a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), virtual hardware (HW), software (SW), and other components designed to maintain the user's facility in proper conditions specified by the user.

Validation Requirements Document Contents

This document is structured in a relatively standard fashion, with predetermined chapters and sections, where the final contents are tailored according to the type and size of the system under validation.

The main chapters and sections of a Validation Requirements document are:

Responsibility

Validation Requirements

Documentation for Initial Tender

Documentation for Design Review

Documentation Prior to Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) or Pre-Delivery Inspection – PDI

Commissioning

Documentation For Installation and Operational Qualification (IQ and OQ) – to be checked at PDI/FAT

Design Qualification (DQ) Protocols (Including PC/PLC) Architecture

Installation Qualification (IQ) Protocols (Including PC/PLC

Operational Qualification (OQ) Protocols (Including PC/PLC

Performance Qualification (PQ) Protocols

Computerized System Validation

Responsibility

This section lists the responsibilities of contractor, the user, and the required contents of the documents composing the validation file

The contractor is responsible for creation and performing the DQ, Design Review, Commissioning, IQ and OQ validation protocols

The user is responsible for creation and performing the PQ validation protocols

Design Qualification (DQ) – The design of the system will be documented and checked in the Design Specification. This specification will include details of the system and must be traceable to the URS and BOD documents

Mechanical Completion Check Report (MCCR) of the system will be documented and checked only by the contractor. This document will check system readiness for the IQ

Commissioning Execution (CE) of the system will be documented and checked only by the contractor. This document will check system readiness for  OQ

Installation Qualification –IQ

IQ will establish documented evidence that the system is installed according to the manufacturers’ specifications and user requirements, and assure that the environment is appropriate for its intended purpose

Each IQ protocol will include an appendix of deviation report, which describes the deviations (if they existent) of the specific system, and the contractor will be responsible to correct them

Operational Qualification – OQ

OQ will establish documented evidence that the system is operated according to manufacturers’ specifications and user requirements, and assure that the environment is appropriate for its intended purpose

OQ will establish documented evidence that the system is operated according to manufacturers’ specifications

.Each OQ protocol will include an appendix of deviation report, which describes the deviations (if they existent) of the specific system, and the contractor will be responsible to correct them

Performance Qualification- PQ

PQ will establish documented evidence that the system performs according to manufacturers’ specifications and user requirements, and assure that the environment is appropriate for its intended purpose

The PQ protocols are user's responsibility

ולידציה – DQ – Design Review

 ולידציה – DQ – Design Qualification / Design Review

DQ  – Design Qualification is for Design Review by verifying that the system has been designed as specified in the URS (User Requirements Specification), FDS (Functional Design Specification), and relevant equipment specifications satisfying all GMP requirements. The Process User Requirements in the URS have been identified by the Quality Risk Assessment. Since the Quality Risk Assessment is an iterative process, it may be performed again, whenever necessary, during the DQ and subsequent lifecycle qualifications.  For  hardware and software of the control system, verification data will be collected to prove that the system has been designed in accordance with the URS and FDS including the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11. As DQ is the final step to formally review and document the proper design of the system, the protocol must enable the reviewers to verify that all quality-critical attributes and essential technical attributes of the system have been incorporated in the design. When the DQ report is approved, the system is ready for fabrication and construction.
