ISO 9000&14000 and validation

INTRODUCTION I S O I S O International Standard Organization ISO in Greek means “equal” and ISO wanted to convey the idea of equality – the idea that develop standards to place organization on equal footing.

DEFINITION OF ISO 9000:- ISO 9000 is a set of universally understood and accepted quality / business practices which, when implemented, give customers confidence that suppliers can consistently meet their needs.

FUNCTIONS OF ISO:- It serves as a safety guard for the customer. They make trade between the two countries. They provide the technology to the government for health, safety. They helps in transferring technology to developing countries. They also helps in development, manufacturing, supply of product.

ADVANTAGES:-  Create a more efficient effective operation.  Increase customer satisfaction and retention.  Reduce audits.  Enhance marketing.  Improve employee motivation, awareness, and morale.  Promote international trade.  Increase profit.  Reduce waste and increase productivity.

REASONS ABOUT ISO 9000:-  ISO 9000 is;  International standards for quality management.  Third party certification of QM.  It is evolutionary rather than revolutionary.  ISO 9000 is voluntary in nature.  Evolved as global standardization of quality management standards.  It certifies the process not product.  Exports not having ISO 9000 certification will have to face problem in world markets.  It provides the efficient and economic product.

There are 158 National members out of the 195 total countries in the World :  ISO has three membership category, they are: 1) Member bodies 2) Correspondent Member 3) Subscribers Member

 ISO Quality Assurance in design/ development, production, installation and servicing  ISO Quality Assurance in production and installation  ISO Quality Assurance in final inspection and test  ISO Quality management and quality system elements

ISO SERIES ISO 9001 and ISO are among ISO's most well known standards ever. ISO helps organizations to implement environmental management. They are implemented by more than a million organizations in some 175 countries.

Environmental management ISO is for environmental management. This means what the organization does to: minimize harmful effects on the environment caused by its activities, to conform to applicable regulatory requirements, and to achieve continual improvement of its environmental performance.

PROCESS NOT PRODUCTS Both ISO 9001 and ISO concern the way an organization goes about its work. They are not product standards. They are not service standards. They are process standards. They can be used by Product manufacturers and service providers.

Certification & registration Certification is known in some countries as registration. It means that an independent, external body has audited an organization's management system and verified that it conforms to the requirements specified in the standard (ISO 9001 or ISO 14001). ISO does not carry out certification and does not issue or approve certificates,

Accréditations Accreditation is like certification of the certification body. It means the formal approval by a specialized body - an accreditation body - that a certification body is competent to carry out ISO 9001:2008 or ISO 14001:2004 certification in specified business sectors

VALIDATION DEFINITION: A documented programme, which provides a high degree of assurance that a specefic process will consistently produce,a product meeting its pre determined specifications and quality attributes.

What does need validation? Any drug manufactured f0r use by humans and animals needs to be validated. A satisfactory inspection and approval by a regulatory inspector is required before a drug is released for sale. What is validated? The process of manufacturing a drug

Principles of validation? Document what is to be done. Document how it is to be done. Produce documented evidence that it was done in accordance with the specification. Demonstrate that it remains in a state of control.

Regulatory requirements Computerized systems installed in pharmaceutical companies are fit for their intended purposes (relevant to the GMPs) by considering : Quality assurance of the development lifecycle. Performance validation. In use controls. Accuracy and reliability.

Validation of equipment Equipment is one of the basic components of the pharma processing. If we want a pharmaceutical process to be validated then the equipment used play a very major role in the whole process. Equipment validation process generally covers the following steps:

Validation of equipment(cont…) 1.customer requirements or requirement specifications. 2.preparation of design qualification and its certification. 3.installation qualification. 4.operational qualification. 5.performance qualification.

Process validation DEFINITION: “ A documented program which provides a high degree of assurance that is specific process will consistently produce a product, meeting its predetermined specifications and quality attributes.”

Process validation(cont…)  Validation should be considered in the following situations. 1. Totally new process. 2. New equipment. 3. Processes and equipment, which have been altered to suit changing priorities. 4. Processes where the end product test is poor and unreliable indicator of product quality.

Process validation (cont…) Process validation can be categorized in the following categories namely : 1. Prospective validation. 2. Concurrent validation. 3. Revalidation. 4. Retrospective validation.

Cleaning validation DEFINITION: Its may be defined as “a process of attaining and documenting sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance given the current state of science and technology, that the cleaning process under consideration does,and / or will do, what it purports to do”.

Cleaning validation(cont…) Cleaning and decontamination is one of the major and critical activity in pharmaceutical operations. The 4 basic requirements of cGMP are: A. Identity B. Safety C. Strength D. purity

Validation of analytical methods DEFINITION: It may be defined as “the process by, which it is established, by laboratory studies, that the performance characteristics of the method meet the requirements for the intended analytical application”.

Validation of analytical methods(cont…) Typical analytical characteristics can be listed as follows: 1. Accuracy. 2. Precision. 3. Specificity. 4. Limit of detection. 5. Limit of quantitation.

Cont… 6.Linearity 7.Range. 8.Ruggedness. 9.Robustess.

Cont… ACCURACY: “The closeness of test results obtained by that method to the true value. this accuracy should be established across its range”. PRECISION: “the degree of agreement among individual tests results when the method is applied repeatedly to multiple sampling of a homogenous sample”.

Cont… SPECIFICITY: “The to ability to assess unequivocally the analyte in the presence of components that may be expected to be present, such as impurities degradation products and matrix components”. LIMIT OF DETECTION: “the lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can be detected, but now necessarily quantitated, under the stated experimental conditions “.

Cont… LIMIT OF QUANTITATION: “ A characteristics of qualitative assays for low levels of compounds in sample matrices such as impurities in bulk substances and degradation products in finished pharmaceuticals. It is lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can be determined with acceptable precision and accuracy under the stated experimental conditions”.

Cont… LINEARITY: “its ability to elicit tests that are directly or by a well defined mathematical transformations proportional to the concentration of analyte in samples with in a given range”.

Cont… RANGE: “ Interval between the upper and lower levels of analyte that have been demonstrated to be determined with a suitable level of precision, accuracy and linearity using the method as written.the range is normally expressed in the same units as test results obtained by the analytical methods”.

Cont… RUGGEDNESS: “ The degree of reproducibility of test results obtained by the analysis of the same sample under a variety of conditions such as different laboratories, different analysts, different instruments, different lots of reagents, different elapsed assay times, different assay temperatures, different days etc”.

Cont… ROBUSTNESS: “A measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by small but deliberate variations in method parameters and provides an indication of its reliability during normal usage”.
