Process validation is the systematic process of confirming and documenting that manufacturing processes or procedures used in the pharmaceutical, medical or other regulated industry fulfill their functions and intended purposes in accordance with established specifications and regulations. Process validation (German translation: Prozessvalidierung) plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of end products such as drugs or services.

The most important aspects of process validation include:

• Planning: Determining validation objectives, creating a validation plan and defining success criteria.
• Process establishment: Documenting all aspects of the process, including its parameters, the necessary equipment (German: Ausrüstung) and materials, staff, and the environment.
• Implementation of the validation: Reviewing and monitoring a process to ensure that it fulfills the given specifications (translation into German: Spezifikationen) and requirements.
• Data analysis and documentation: Collecting and analyzing data and documenting the validation results.
• Risk assessment: Assessment of process-related risks and development of strategies to minimize them.
• Certification and approval: After successful validation of the process, approval or certification is granted by the regulatory authorities.
• Monitoring and updates: Continuous process monitoring (German translation: Prozessüberwachung) and updates in the event of changes in order to ensure the validation remains valid.

Process validation is an important element in ensuring the quality and safety of products or services. In the pharmaceutical industry, for example, process validation is used in the manufacture of drugs to ensure their quality and compliance with the standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP; German: Gute Herstellungspraxis). It is also relevant in other areas such as the manufacture of medical devices, food processing and many other industries.
