A typical approach to the validation of packing operations (covers different types of primary packaging) is included, together with an overview of key regulations, guidelines and standards, including the FDA process validation guide and ICH Q8. Validation documentation requirements, sampling requirements, acceptable quality levels, management of deviations and Continued Process Verification, together with critical GMP supporting systems are also covered by this course.
