Course overview

Validation Master Plans (VMP) govern validation activities for an entire organisation. The VMP serves as the validation roadmap, setting the course, justifying the strategy, outlining the preliminary test and acceptance criteria, and documenting the necessary programs that ensure a continuing state of validation.

The VMP includes the following elements as expected by the regulatory agencies:

  • Plan - documenting intent and pathway
  • Qualification - confirming design and intent
  • Process Validation - assures process consistency
  • Reports - Summary of test results and acceptance criteria
  • Compliance programs - Ensuring continuous state of validation

The VMP has cost implications from designing and executing to reporting and maintaining. Are these costs justified? What would happen if VMP was not part of regulatory expectations? Would organisations be motivated enough to implement VMP without regulatory expectations?

This course is part of our GxP training (Good x Practice) course collection, which features a variety of topic areas to ensure you comply with the most recent quality guidelines. For more information on the latest EU GMP regulations, see our GMP training course covering the Annex 1.
