Overview: A validation program must have three basic elements - policy/procedures, adequate training for execution and compliant/complete documentation. The audit should have a structure that includes a policy, plan, documentation of the audit activities and the reports and closure of any observations. There are critical processes and direct impact systems which should be the primary focus of our efforts. During an audit of a validation program, the focus should be placed on those critical processes or systems as they will affect our product quality in the most direct way. An audit of a validation program must also cover the validation status maintenance, specifically the change control program adequacy and documentation which will have a critical effect on our validation program compliance. 

Why should you attend: The revised PV guideline is demanding that the industry focuses on the adequate design and qualification of facilities, systems, equipment and processes so an adequate validation program has to address these areas as well as the application of QbD designed processes.
