Validation of analytical methods involves establishing documented evidence that a process will consistently produce results meeting predetermined specifications. It is necessary to ensure customer satisfaction, comply with regulations, and control costs. Proper documentation of validation activities includes validation master plans, protocols, and reports. Types of validation include process, cleaning, equipment, and validation of analytical methods itself. Method validation parameters that must be checked include selectivity, precision, accuracy, linearity, range, limit of detection, limit of quantification, and robustness. Validation ensures process efficiency and quality for the pharmaceutical industry.

1. Validation of Analytical Methods
Introduction
The concept of validation was firstproposed by Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
official, Ted Byers and Bud Loftus in the mid-1970s in order to improvethe quality of
Pharmaceutical.
1. Validation:
“Establishing documented evidence that provides high degree of
assurance that a specific process will consistently produce a product
meeting its pre-determined specifications and quality attributes.
This maintain and assure a higher degree of quality of food and drug
products
2. Need for validation:
Customer satisfaction, Customer mandated, product liability, control
product cost, the development of the next generation, safety.
3. Document of validation:
The validation activity cannot be completed without proper
documentation of each and every minute activity with utmost
details.
Document of validation generally different types
Such as
 VMP (validation master plan)
 VP (validation protocol)
 VR (validation reports)
 SOP (standard operating procedure)

4. Types of validation:
 Process validation
 Cleaning validation
 Equipment validation
 Validation of analytical methods
TYPES OF PROCEDURE TO VALIDATION PROCEDURE
Parameters to be checked for method validation.
1. Selectivity/Specificity
The ability to assess the analyte when in the presence of
other components
2. Precision
A measure of the agreement for multiple measurements on
the same sample
3. Accuracy
An assessment of the different between the measured value
and true value
4. Linearity & Range
The proportionality and measurement of concentration
range
5. LOD & LOQ
The lowest amounts of analyte that can be detected/
determined accurately, respectively
6. Robustness
A check of the effect of deliberate small changes to the
method on the results

3. Validation of Analytical Methods
5.Conclusion
Validation has been proven assurance for the process efficiency
and sturdiness and its full-fledged quality attributing tool for the
pharmaceutical industries
Validation common word in the areas of drug development,
manufacture & specifications of finished products.
