FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What does Validation Engineering do?
- We publish technical reference material across CQV, equipment and process validation, computerized systems assurance and laboratory validation, and we route project work to a reviewed network of validation practitioners.
- How is validation different from qualification?
- Qualification demonstrates that a facility, utility, equipment or system is installed and operates as intended (DQ/IQ/OQ/PQ). Validation is the broader demonstration that a process consistently produces a result meeting predetermined criteria. Qualification is normally a prerequisite to process validation.
- Do you provide validation services directly, or do you connect us with people?
- Both routes start with the same intake. Submit a project and a validation engineer reviews scope, clarifies constraints, and matches the work to appropriate expertise in the network.
- Is anything on this site regulatory advice?
- No. Content here is educational and links to primary sources — FDA guidance, 21 CFR, EU GMP Annexes — so you can verify current text. Quality decisions remain the responsibility of your organization.
