What is Process Validation?
The FDA defines process validation as, “the collection and evaluation of data, from the process design stage through marketable product, which establishes scientific substantiation that a process is able of constantly delivering quality product”.
A foundational tenet of this FDA guidance document is the lifecycle conception. The lifecycle approach is concerned not only with the original drug development processes; but also, the establishment of marketable manufacturing and routine marketable product until discontinuation of the product.
