Definition:
Process Validation (PV) is the documented
evidence that the process, operated within established parameters, can perform
effectively and re producibly to produce an intermediate or API meeting its
predetermined specifications and quality attributes as per ICH Q7 guideline.
Requirement: why it performed:
The critical parameters/attributes should is identified during the
development stage or from historical data, and the ranges necessary for the
reproducible operation should be defined. This should include:
Defining the API in terms of its critical product attributes;
Identifying process parameters that could affect the critical
quality attributes of the API;
Determining the range for each critical process parameter expected
to be used during routine manufacturing and process control.
Validation should extend to those operations determined to be
critical to the quality and purity of the API.
Types
of process validation:
(4) Re validation.
Prospective Validation:
Prospective validation should
normally be performed for all API with new process
Concurrent Validation:
Concurrent validation can be
conducted when data from replicate production runs are unavailable because only
a limited number of API batches have been produced, API batches are produced
infrequently, or API batches are produced by a validated process that has been
modified.
Retrospective Validation:
Retrospective validation based on the available data
and the
examination of past experience of production. When validation is not performed
previously.
Re
validation:
Re validation
is performed when any change in process, equipment or any raw material or route
of synthesis.
