About Computerized System Validation (CSV)

A computerized system (CS) describes a hardware with software combined applications. According to GAMP, the software is categorized into groups to determine the scope of validation.

CSV

Integrated Analytical Equipment and Sytem Qualification into CSV

Analytical instrument, process equipment and system qualification follow the integrated approach which combines qualification activities and CSV. The purpose to combine CSV and operational qualification (OQ) is to save time and effort.

CSV & Data Integrity

Data Integrity

Data integrity aims to verify the data to be accurate, complete, reliable and consistent and to maintain data over time and across formats.

CSV & Data Integrity

Operational Qualification (OQ)

Essential operational testing within OQ, should include software configuration, software customization, software functions, data storage, backup, and archiving
