Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) GMP is that part of Quality Assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended Use. The basic requirements of GMP are that: HISTORY OF VALIDATION
All manufacturing processes are  clearly defined, systematically reviewed in the light of experience, and shown  to be capable of consistently producing  products of the required quality that comply with their specifications;
b)  Critical steps of manufacturing processes and any significant changes made to the processes are  validated .
C. All necessary facilities are provided including Qualified and  trained  personnel; b) Adequate  premises and space; c) Suitable  equipment and services; d) Correct  materials, containers, and labels
APPROVED! e)  approved procedures and instructions; d) Suitable storage and transport; and f) Adequate personnel laboratories, and equipment for in-process controls
d) instructions and procedures are written in clear and unambiguous language, specifically applicable to the facilities provided operators are trained to carry out procedures correctly;
records are made (manually and or by recording instruments) during manufacture to show that all the steps required by the defined procedures and instructions have in fact been taken and that the quantity and quality of the products are as expected; any significant deviations are fully recorded and investigated;
records covering manufacture and distribution, which enable the complete history of a batch to be traced, are retained in a comprehensible and accessible form;
The proper storage and distribution of the products minimizes any risk to their quality;
A system is available to recall any batch of product from sale or supply;
j) Complaints about marketed products are examined, the causes of quality defects investigated, and appropriate measures are taken in respect of the defective products and to prevent recurrence.
TEN COMMANDMENTS OF GMP Thou shalt document (record) thy work! Thou shalt validate thy work!  Thou shalt design and build proper facilities and equipment! Thou shalt maintain thy facilities and requirement! Thou shalt be competent (as a result of education training  and experience)! Thou shalt be clean! Thou shalt control for quality! Thou shalt audit for compliance!
VALIDATION The  documented act of proving  that any procedure,  process, equipment,  material, activity,  or system actually  leads to the expected results. WHO expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations. 32 nd  Report 1992
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 results. - Rules and Guidelines for Pharmaceutical  Manufacturer 1993
Proving Sufficient replication of the testing and challenging of each defined critical Stage of a system, process, etc. that has to be performed to give valid levels of assurance KEY FEATURES:
Documenting An adequate  System of referenced documentation  is essential.
Flow diagrams and schematics should define the system, process, etc.  The critical areas must be highlighted, and the written experimental design defined by a protocol.  All results and conclusions derived must be recorded in a written report.
All associated  paperwork must be  collected, analyzed,  reviewed and approved by all designated responsible personnel
All documents must be signed and dated by the authorized personnel
“ Document everything ” To Play It Safe “ If there is any question, play it safe.  Document everything and document it thoroughly.” - James Harris, PHD (Director of Sterile  Operations, Merck and  Chairman, Computer  Systems Validation  Committee, Pharmaceutical  Manufacturers  Ass.) in “The  Gold Sheet”, V19, No. 1,  Jan.1985.
Work done, but not recorded in writing, for the purpose of  validation is considered as never  having been performed. written reviewed approved retained DOCUMENTED FOCUS
SYNONYMS       Verify Justify Designed to assure
PURPOSE OF VALIDATION Increased product safety Increased patients safety Safety
Fewer rejects Fewer rework Fewer retest Fewer wastage/scrap Maximize yields Reduce unit cost REDUCTION  OF  QUALITY  COSTS
Component of GMP Minimized Regulatory  Exposure Regulatory Compliance
Assurance of Quality Consistent and  Producible Quality Minimize corporate  product liability risk Minimize complaints
Process Optimization Optimum batch size Reduced  processing  time Decreased downtimes Reduce new  facility/ process start-up time    
BENEFITS OF VALIDATION In contrast to  in-process and finished product controls, it is possible, by validation data, to predict in which range system parameters have to be maintained.
Through validation of a system, the system is controlled, deficiencies are detected which otherwise may not have been noticed and, most importantly, an intensive scrutiny of the complete system is conducted.
Drug safety and thus safety for the patient is improved.
The system is possibly optimized .
The probability  of a product recall is reduced.
Lately occurring system deficiencies are reduced.
-  for presentation in case of an inspection - as legal proof of safety in a  product liability  case - as a document for a  marketing authorization application and a  certification The validation documentation can be used:
-  provide jobs  and more jobs - capture the market  with  better quality product at a lower price
System to be validated often involve various combinations of the following : WHAT TO VALIDATE? Equipment Environment Methods Materials Software
Controls Processes Personnel Facilities Operating  Procedure
SCOPE OF VALIDATION WORK VALIDATION WORK   TESTED FOR Buildings   Design, construction Services   Water (city, deionized,   distilled, water for    injection, lighting,    heating/cooling,    cleaning, ventilation,    waste disposal,    sanitation
VALIDATION WORK TESTED FOR Equipment Design, size, location materials of construction, manufacturer’s drawings, change parts,  maintenance, operating  parameters, cleaning Procedures SOP’s, manufacturing  directions, sampling, yield  calculations, processing  time limitations, microbial  contamination, reprocessing
VALIDATION WORK TESTED FOR Personnel Qualifications, responsibilities
VALIDATION WORK TESTED FOR Raw material  Control, testing, and components storage, vendor  audit Packaging/Labelling Materials, issue of  labels, expiry  dating Warehousing/ General procedures Distribution Testing, release,  Laboratory controls stability testing special tests,  reserve samples,  etc.
VALIDATION WORK TESTED FOR Records and Reports Equipment  cleaning and use,  components,  containers,  closures, labels,  master and batch  production control,  production record  review, laboratory,  distribution and  complaint records,  product returns
ONLY CRITICAL PARAMETERS SHOULD BE VALIDATED NEVER ATTEMPT TO VALIDATE ANYTHING THAT YOU o Do not understand o Can not define IF YOU DO NOT KNOW,  DO NOT VALIDATE, JUST INVESTIGATE
TYPE OF VALIDATION RETROSPECTIVE VALIDATION   - Validation of a process for a  product already in distribution  based upon accumulated production,  testing and control data. -  Guideline on General Principles of    Process Validation, FDA, MAY 1987
Retrospective Validation is not merely the review of test results.  It also requires that the manufacturing process be specific and the same each time a batch is manufactured. Thus, specific raw material specifications (including particle size when necessary, in process specifications (tablet hardness, etc.) and specific manufacturing directions are required.  Obviously, any failing batches attributed to the process would necessitate the conclusion that the process is not validated and is inadequate. -  “The Gold Sheet “ Vol. 28, No. 5, May 1994.
PROSPECTIVE VALIDATION Validation conducted prior to the distribution of either a new product, or product made under a Revised manufacturing process, where the revisions may effect the product’s characteristic. - Guidelines on General Principles of  Process          Validation, FDA, May 1997 Validation required to be completed before initial Release of product. It is associated with the studies carried out during the design and development phase of a new or modified product.
WHEN TO REVALIDATE If the composition of the pharmaceutical product, the manufacturing procedure or the batch size is changed In the event of significant alterations to the processing equipment If new equipment is used In the event of major changes of processing conditions After exhaustive preventive maintenance work on machines or equipment
If the findings of the in-process and Quality control results indicate the need. WHEN TO REVALIDATE

VALIDATION MATRIX/FAMILY TREE Use the Matrix to define what qualification test should be applied Use the Matrix as the framework for the Validation Master Plan Use the Family Tree in the numbering system to develop the protocol list
A document which details the requirements for validation testing, written and approved. Protocols must have a unique reference number and define, as a minimum: - the task to be achieved - the person preparing the protocol  the item under test - the tests to be carried out and the  information to be recorded - the purpose of each test (approved before  execution) - the persons authorizing the protocol,  before testing and the date of the  authorization. - the persons who will approved the  protocol upon completion of testing VALIDATION PROTOCOL
A formal monitoring system by which qualified representatives from appropriate disciplines, review proposed or actual changes that, might affect validated status and define and authorize appropriate action to be taken that will assure the facilities and operations retain their validated state of control VALIDATION CHANGE CONTROL
QUALIFICATION Qualification is the formal, systematic, and documented proof that facilities and Equipment are suitable for the  intended process.  It is a basic requirement for validation  and an entire part of this  validation.  Qualification of equipment includes calibration or  Measuring equipment. -  Federation International  Pharmaceutique, 1990
Documented  evidence that  quality is built  into the design of facilities and operations. DESIGN QUALIFICATION (DQ) A typical DQ document includes these basic information:
o Confirmation of the structured and rigorous approach  to design, including discussions or comments on modular design, drawings, and specifications produces, hazard operations, zone classification studies, etc.
o Confirmation of design standards  adopted referring to national and  international codes, and to the key  reference texts on GMP issues. o Confirmation of the use of appropriately  qualified staff. o Confirmation of the attention paid to  GMP issues as shown by GMP audits
DESIGN QUALIFICATION Needs the following: Specification Responsible Supplier This is how we will build it Design Specification Supplier This is what we could give you Functional Requirements Specification User This is what we want User Requirements Specifications
Validation V-Model Is based on Is based on Is based on PQ OQ IQ User  Specification Functional Specification Design  Specification Implementation D E S I G N Q U A L I F I C A T I O N
INSTALLATION QUALIFICATION (IQ) Documented demonstration that facilities and  operations are installed as designed and  specified and are correctly interfaced with  factory systems. The IQ protocol should include a statement of the data required concerning the installation of the system or equipment to verify that the  specification has been satisfied.
The IQ protocol should include, as applicable, but not limited to: Engineering drawings and documents Building finishes Process and Utilities (Services) flow diagrams Piping and Instrumentation diagrams The IQ protocol should include, as applicable,  but not limited to: *  Manufacturer’s drawings, equipment    maintenance and operating manuals *  Spares list *  Maintenance schedules
Ensure that equipment and installation is clearly described and suitably labelled as to vendor, model, capacity, materials and other critical criteria. Ensure that instrumentation has been  calibrated according to approved procedures  and that measurements are traceable to  defined national or international standards.
Ensure that calibrations and detailed control parameters must be recorded and records securely kept Ensure change control system are in  Operation Ensure that all system have been verified to  operate under no load conditions.
Installation Qualification answers the following questions: Did I get what I ordered as per the design specification? Was it installed correctly & safely? Has it been installed into the company quality systems?
OPERATIONAL QUALIFICATION (OQ) A documented demonstration that facilities and operations function as specified. The OQ protocol should include a complete description of the Purpose, Methodology and Acceptance Criteria for the operational tests  to be performed. Ensure that instrumentation is in current  calibration.
Ensure that detailed control parameters have  been established and recorded for each  Instrument. Ensure change control system in operation. Ensure that standard Operating and maintenance Procedures have been developed  and approved for each system, to ensure continued operation under defined conditions.
Ensure that Training Modules and training sessions for Production, Engineering, and support personnel have been developed, conducted and documented during this stage. Where appropriate and documented in the  VALIDATION MASTER PLAN the IQ, and OQ  protocols may form a single document which  clearly defines the acceptance for each test.
Operational Qualification (OQ) Verifies that the facilities, systems and  equipment as installed or modified, perform  as intended throughout the anticipated  operating ranges. It answers the following questions: - Does it function as per the functional &  specification - What are the operational  restriction/requirement? - Do we have the necessary instruction/training? Can we calibrate and maintain the equipment?
PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATION (PQ) A documented program to demonstrate that  an operation when carried out within defined  parameters, will consistently perform its  intended function to meet predetermined  acceptance criteria. The PQ protocol should include a complete description of the Purpose, Methodology and Acceptance Criteria for the Performance tests to be performed.
Before approval is given to allow PQ testing to  proceed, all IQ and OQ should be reviewed. Ensure change control system are in  operation. Ensure that maintenance and calibration are operating Ensure all SOP’s have been finalized and  approved at this stage. PQ testing should be carried out by trained personnel who will routinely operate the system or equipment.
Ensure all deviations from the validation  protocol are investigated and documented Ensure sufficient lots (at least 3 or as  appropriate) have been evaluated to demonstrate adequate process control. Ensure that any outstanding actions (exceptions) from IQ or OQ are recorded and recommendations for remedial actions are justified and approved.
VALIDATION REVIEW - A validation review procedure must be  firmly defined to ensure that changes have  not been inadvertently occurred - Any validation review must be documented  in detail & results of any test should be  compared with the original validation  results. - In the results are comparable, continue  operation - If results are unsatisfactory, suspend  operation & revalidate
VALIDATION STAGES Design Qualification (DQ) - will the design work and will it meet all  our  requirements? Installation Qualification (IQ) - Has the item been supplied and installed  as specified? Operational Qualification (OQ) - Does the item performs as specified  under operational conditions?
Performance Qualification (PQ) - Do the facilities, system and equipment  as connected together, perform  effectively & reproducibly  based on  the  approved process method? 5. Process Validation - Does the process delivers a product that  consistently meets its predetermined  specifications & quality attributes? Certification - Has the work been executed in a thorough and responsible manner and are the conclusion and recommendation valid?
7. Periodic Review and Evaluation   - Are the system,    facilities, equipment    and processes    maintained in a      validated state? 8. Decommissioning -  Are obsolete      equipment    & facilities removed    under change control    and in accordance      with a pre-approved    decommissioning    plan?
TEST FAILURES It is important to detect or identify test failures during  validation activities.
Detection of failures or malfunction gives additional understanding and knowledge of the operation.
More failures detected during validation means more problems are avoided during routine work.
Failure could be due to incomplete or Substandard Installation (IQ; OQ)

EQUIPMENT VALIDATION
EQUIPMENT QUALIFICATION Why do we need  equipment qualification?   - it is a necessary and  critical step in  ensuring that a  product or service  is provided accurately  and consistently
How do we qualify equipment? To assure that equipment is installed according to the manufacture’s instruction (IQ) To assure that equipment is operated properly and consistently (OQ) To assure that the equipment performs within the requirements determined by the facility (PQ)
Universal requirement of all the qualification steps is the training required to successfully perform the tasks.  This includes the personnel executing the protocol and those operating the equipment.
Utilities verification are also essential for equipment qualification, such as electrical supply, compressed air, water, etc.
Testing instruments also be verified, very often, these requires calibration.  These includes gauges, meters, counters, scales, etc.
CALIBRATION Calibration is the formal, systematic, and documented proof that the used measuring equipment indicates the values within established/defined ranges. Federation International Pharmaceutique, 1990.
The set of operations that establish, under specified conditions, the relationship between values indicated by an instrument or system for measuring (especially weighing), recording, and controlling, or the values represented by a material measure, and the corresponding known values of a reference standard.  Limits for acceptance of the results should be established. -Who Expert Committee on Specifications for      Pharmaceutical Preparations, 32 nd  Repot, 1997
What do we need to calibrate? All equipment used for     In production, analysis or supply which impact on product quality. Testing Monitoring or Measuring Control
What are the requirements of a fully documented calibrated system? If the equipment is found to be faulty, the procedure must provide for: labelling the equipment as “out of service”. the removal of the equipment from service and the appropriate corrective action to be taken. the review by Quality Assurance personnel and the initiation of appropriate action to be taken with respect to product processed on the faulty equipment.
Maintenance and calibration record must be retained at a minimum of 7 years after the equipment or process to which they refer ceased to be in use.
What are the requirements of a fully documented calibration system? The calibration must be carried out using standards which are traceable to the local national standard, a recognized international standard, or if appropriate, a specified physical constant or standard.  The traceability must be documented.
Equipment must be clearly labelled to  indicate the date when is was last  calibrated, an indication of the person  or contractor who carried out the  calibration and the date when it is due  for next calibration.
What are the requirements of a fully documented calibration system? A master list of all equipment requires  calibration and impact on product  quality. All such equipment must be permanently identified and labelled.
Procedures must specify: The calibration method The acceptable limits of accuracy, and/or precision The records to be kept The frequency of recalibration The maintenance, calibration and/or  checking must be carried out at the defined  intervals by trained personnel or approved  contractors.
BUILDING VALIDATION
BUILDING VALIDATION Consists mainly of the verification of the conformance to the specification of the construction and layout, structure and finish Changes and deviations from design are documented stating what, how and why modifications were made Establish suitability of the modification to the process flow, material flow and personnel movement Verify that the layout should result to more efficient manufacturing process or operation

    Good Manufacturing Practice(GMP) GMP is that part of Quality Assurance which ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled to the quality standards appropriate to their intended Use. The basic requirements of GMP are that: HISTORY OF VALIDATION
  • 7.
    All manufacturing processesare clearly defined, systematically reviewed in the light of experience, and shown to be capable of consistently producing products of the required quality that comply with their specifications;
  • 8.
    b) Criticalsteps of manufacturing processes and any significant changes made to the processes are validated .
  • 9.
    C. All necessaryfacilities are provided including Qualified and trained personnel; b) Adequate premises and space; c) Suitable equipment and services; d) Correct materials, containers, and labels
  • 10.
    APPROVED! e) approved procedures and instructions; d) Suitable storage and transport; and f) Adequate personnel laboratories, and equipment for in-process controls
  • 11.
    d) instructions andprocedures are written in clear and unambiguous language, specifically applicable to the facilities provided operators are trained to carry out procedures correctly;
  • 12.
    records are made(manually and or by recording instruments) during manufacture to show that all the steps required by the defined procedures and instructions have in fact been taken and that the quantity and quality of the products are as expected; any significant deviations are fully recorded and investigated;
  • 13.
    records covering manufactureand distribution, which enable the complete history of a batch to be traced, are retained in a comprehensible and accessible form;
  • 14.
    The proper storageand distribution of the products minimizes any risk to their quality;
  • 15.
    A system isavailable to recall any batch of product from sale or supply;
  • 16.
    j) Complaints aboutmarketed products are examined, the causes of quality defects investigated, and appropriate measures are taken in respect of the defective products and to prevent recurrence.

    TEN COMMANDMENTS OFGMP Thou shalt document (record) thy work! Thou shalt validate thy work! Thou shalt design and build proper facilities and equipment! Thou shalt maintain thy facilities and requirement! Thou shalt be competent (as a result of education training and experience)! Thou shalt be clean! Thou shalt control for quality! Thou shalt audit for compliance!

    VALIDATION The documented act of proving that any procedure, process, equipment, material, activity, or system actually leads to the expected results. WHO expert Committee on Specifications for Pharmaceutical Preparations. 32 nd Report 1992
  • 19.
    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 results. - Rules and Guidelines for Pharmaceutical Manufacturer 1993
  • 20.
    Proving Sufficient replicationof the testing and challenging of each defined critical Stage of a system, process, etc. that has to be performed to give valid levels of assurance KEY FEATURES:
  • 21.
    Documenting An adequate System of referenced documentation is essential.
  • 22.
    Flow diagrams andschematics should define the system, process, etc. The critical areas must be highlighted, and the written experimental design defined by a protocol. All results and conclusions derived must be recorded in a written report.
  • 23.
    All associated paperwork must be collected, analyzed, reviewed and approved by all designated responsible personnel
  • 24.
    All documents mustbe signed and dated by the authorized personnel

    BENEFITS OF VALIDATIONIn contrast to in-process and finished product controls, it is possible, by validation data, to predict in which range system parameters have to be maintained.
  • 34.
    Through validation ofa system, the system is controlled, deficiencies are detected which otherwise may not have been noticed and, most importantly, an intensive scrutiny of the complete system is conducted.
  • 35.
    Drug safety andthus safety for the patient is improved.

    TYPE OF VALIDATIONRETROSPECTIVE VALIDATION - Validation of a process for a product already in distribution based upon accumulated production, testing and control data. - Guideline on General Principles of Process Validation, FDA, MAY 1987
  • 50.
    Retrospective Validation isnot merely the review of test results. It also requires that the manufacturing process be specific and the same each time a batch is manufactured. Thus, specific raw material specifications (including particle size when necessary, in process specifications (tablet hardness, etc.) and specific manufacturing directions are required. Obviously, any failing batches attributed to the process would necessitate the conclusion that the process is not validated and is inadequate. - “The Gold Sheet “ Vol. 28, No. 5, May 1994.
  • 51.
    PROSPECTIVE VALIDATION Validationconducted prior to the distribution of either a new product, or product made under a Revised manufacturing process, where the revisions may effect the product’s characteristic. - Guidelines on General Principles of Process Validation, FDA, May 1997 Validation required to be completed before initial Release of product. It is associated with the studies carried out during the design and development phase of a new or modified product.
