Executor needs to make a comparison, calculation or an evaluation against the expected results. Based on the corrective action implemented or the conclusion of Impact Assessment, the Qualification Team determines which test steps must be repeated or revision of any document required.
All test instruments utilized in the execution of this protocol must include calibration certification that must be traceable to NIST standards or NABL approved agency or equivalent. If there are no comments, the Comments section will be marked with NA. Objective, procedure and acceptance criteria are described for each test and the results will be recorded on the corresponding tests. The person who records the data and test results must sign with date on the respective tests wherever indicated and subsequently reviewed by second qualified personnel.
Any supporting documentation required during testing should be included as an attachment to the document with appropriate attachment number.
All the attachment shall be signed by the performer and cross verified by reviewer. If MS Word application is used follow the instructions below on steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 to capture the screen. Ensure the data required to be captured is displayed on the screen. Press the Print Screen PrtSc key. Open MS Word application. Paste the captured screen. Signature and Date on attachments. Print the document upon completion of each test. Any attachments generated during execution or the data collected for validation shall be stored along with the validation package.
Note: If print screen using MS word is not available then photographs can be used. Any discrepancy observed during verification shall be informed to concerned department and engineering department for necessary action.
Step No. Items Expected Actual Observation Meets as per expected result? PLC is a computer that can develop programs that are equivalent to relay circuits which control processes. PLC consists of the common part that is fully in accordance with the integrated regulations, and parts that are individually different depending on each manufacturer. Each part is an independent computer called a unit, and each of the parts is interactively connected with other units or networks.
The common part is written in the programming language. The VMP should:. Identify which computerised systems are subject to validation. Provide brief descriptions of the validation strategies for different categories of computerised systems as well as other validation activities. Outline protocols and related test procedures for all validation activities including computer systems. Define reporting requirements to document validation exercises and related results.
Identify key personnel and their responsibilities as part of the Validation Program. Due to the ever-expanding functionality of modern process control systems, their implementation no longer remains simple. To leverage the benefits of productivity enhancement tools available in the latest process control packages, a clear and complete software functional requirement specification document must be developed before configuring any process control system.
In the real business world, it has often been seen that validation professionals from pharmaceutical companies lack practical experience in relation to the development and use of Programmable Logic Controller PLC application software.

However unless the effort is made to maintain this traceability , computer validation processes is easily flawed and future maintenance and or modifications can become extremely problematic.
The Validation Master Plan - VMP, must be specific about this requirement and instruct all personnel involved in the qualification program, of the importance of maintaining this traceability.
This testing verifies the execution flow of software, including decision paths, inputs and outputs, It also involves creating test cases, test vectors, oracles, and executing the software against these tests known values. The results are then compared with these expected or known values for correct behavior of the software.
Because the number of execution paths and conditions increases exponentially with the number of lines of code, testing for all possible execution traces and conditions for the software is impossible. Code inspections and testing can reduce coding errors; however, experience has shown that the process needs to be complemented with various other methods.
One such method is static analysis. This somewhat new method largely automates the software verification process. The technique attempts to identify errors in the code, but does not necessarily prove their absence.
Static analysis is extensively used to identify potential and actual defects in source code. A code verification solution that includes abstract interpretation can be instrumental in assuring software safety and a good quality process.
It is a sound verification process that enables the achievement of high integrity in embedded devices. Regulatory bodies such as the pharmaceutical regulators. There is no regulatory requirement to re-validate a process as long as that process operates in a state of GMP control and no changes have been made to the process or output product, the process does not have to be revalidated.
Whether the process is operating in a state of control is determined by analyzing day-to-day process control data and any finished device testing data for conformance with specifications and for variability.
