Logical Water System Validation

  • Training

  • 90 Minutes
  • Compliance Online
  • ID: 5975776
This Water system validation training will guide you on how validation should be customized to your particular water system design and maintenance practices, what operational elements should be included in the microbial testing during validation and which ones need not be. Understanding the purpose of water system validation will allow you to see the fallacies of many standard protocol templates bred by tradition and do only what is appropriate for YOUR water system.

Why Should You Attend:

Are you sure your water system was properly validated?

Have you ever had chemical or microbial control problems with the water system that did not show up during validation?

Have those problems ever caused manufacturing interruptions?

Have those problems ever caused product problems? Are you absolutely sure?

Though FDA is often glad to see that any sort of water system validation has been done, they will quickly raise their expectations (and '483 pad') if your validation was poorly done and resulted in product/health problems. You can avoid this regulatory attention as well as these product problems by applying a little logic to your validation protocol and avoiding standard templates which may not be the right challenge for YOUR water system. However, to apply logic, you MUST understand how your water system is intended to work and what could make it fail to do so. With every water system being different, a customized validation protocol is a necessity. Attending this presentation will allow you to understand what water system features are essential to include in validation (and which are not), and will also explore the validation needs of laboratory water systems as well as issues related to supposedly cost-avoiding options like using package waters.

Validation is often considered a necessary evil and a waste of time to merely satisfy a regulatory expectation, and because of the low expected return on investment, is typically performed using a standard template to minimize costs. But what you get is essentially worthless. If the validation is done logically and properly, it can be a valuable 'insurance policy', especially for a water system.
