INTEGRATED COMPLIANCE SERVICES
Meet the
validation challenge
Assure your
instrument and
software are up to
the task.
In regulated industries, compliance with government and international standards, such
as GxP and 21 CFR Part 11, requires documented verification that your instruments are
installed and functioning within their operational specifications. The process can be
complex, time-consuming, and costly.
Additionally, computerized systems that generate electronic records must be properly
secured to prevent unauthorized access, ensure security of data, and prevent data
corruption, loss, or falsification. This is required by global standards (e.g. GLP, GCP, GMP)
as well as other regulations.
How to achieve compliance?
Compliance can be achieved by conducting hardware qualification and software validation.

receive expert advice from PMI-certified Validation Consultants and outside
experts, acting as an additional set of eyes and ears to evaluate and optimize your
laboratory operations, in a compliant fashion.
• Based
on your requirements, your Validation Consultant will assist you on-site or
remotely to achieve GLP/FDA/EMEA/GMP compliance standards.
Once you have your documents you may find it difficult trying to explain your
compliance strategy based on test plans used by multiple vendors for your system
to QA or an auditor, assuming you can locate the specific tests, results, and objective
evidence required. Since your system components have not been tested as they
are operated in your lab the data may not be an accurate representation to
regulatory authorities.
