Validation

Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Medical Device Validation services have been introduced to the ALD scope of activities in 1999 as an answer to the growing need in equipment and process validation in Israel and worldwide. ALDs' reputation has helped to gather a unique multi-cultural validation team consisting of high level experts with expertise and capabilities to provide an innovative approach to validation of the state of art systems required at Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnological facilities.

 
Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Medical Devices
On an existing project ALD will provide expert consultants on cGMP issues as well as assistance in validation services. On a new pharmaceutical, bio-technological or medical device plant, ALD provides the ability to link the engineering and validation aspects from the very start of a project. ALD validation experts will develop a validation master plan in compliance with validation requirements, and will develop customized standard operating procedures.

Our validation team performs:

•  Development of the Validation Master Plan
•  cGMP Compliance Guidance
•  cGMP / Quality Audits
•  Preparation for US FDA and UK MCA approval
•  Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

A validation master plan organizes the handling of a validation project, lists the systems and equipment requiring validation, defines the parameters to be validated at every stage and aspect of the validation, states responsibilities and defines acceptance criteria. All these facilitate organization and clear definition of all validation aspects.

ALD Validation team works in cooperation with one of the world leaders in validation service - Pellemon, Canada - one of the subsidiaries of SNC-Lavalin.
