Computerized System Validation

We specialize in Computerized System Validation (CSV) and Quality Assurance (QA) support services to our global customers in the life-sciences industry.

We provide computerized system validation (CSV) services
to life sciences companies throughout Europe that manufacture products for human and animal use.
We ensure that our customers' computerized systems holding GxP data are validated
based on GAMP5 guidelines, so that they meet user, technical and regulatory requirements (e.g. FDA, MHRA, ICH, ISO regulations). GxP data are critical data obtained during product manufacturing & distribution and laboratory testing that are mostly included in product batch records and therefore susceptible to inspections by regulatory authorities. GxP = Good [X: Automated Manufacturing, Laboratory, Distribution] Practices.
We support organizations belonging in the life sciences industry
that produce pharmaceutical products, medical devices, dietary supplements, vitamins, cosmetics, veterinary products and tobacco products to meet the required and applicable compliance requirements for their computerized systems.
