Computerised System Validation (CSV) ensures that software such as an EDC system functions reliably. Analytical method validation demonstrates that a laboratory test (e.g. for measuring a drug concentration in blood) is precise and accurate. Process validation in manufacturing ensures that the production process consistently delivers a product of high quality. For a CRO, conducting and documenting these validation activities is essential to demonstrate to authorities the reliability of its methods and the integrity of the data generated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mediconomics.com\/en\/glossary\/\">Back to overview<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Validation, in the context of clinical research, is the documented evidence that a particular process, method or system consistently meets predefined specifications and quality attributes.
