Commissioning and Validation Qualification
C&A will address all of your validation needs. Our support runs the gamut of all validation approaches (prospective, retrospective, family/grouping, worst-case, overkill, etc.) and we specialize in a risk-based approach, using risk assessments to provide rationale for the level of documentation and rigor of testing to ensure compliance. From the design and planning, to build and test, to operate and maintain and ultimately decommissioning, we support the comprehensive qualification lifecycle of your GMP impact facility, equipment, utility (FEU) and GMP process.
Unlike other firms, we don’t use boiler plate templates because we know there is not a turnkey solution for your needs. Our validation engineers and consultants utilize a “life-cycle scalability” model since qualification activities are dependent on the scale, complexity and intended use of the FEU or GMP process. While our qualification deliverables may be project specific, each document published and executed by C&A will comply with your validation program’s requirements.
