Principle

This Annex describes the principles of qualification and validation which are applicable to the facilities, equipment, utilities and processes used for the manufacture of medicinal products and may also be used as supplementary optional guidance for active substances without introduction of additional requirements to EudraLex, Volume 4, Part II. It is a GMP requirement that manufacturers control the critical aspects of their particular operations through qualification and validation over the life cycle of the product and process. Any planned changes to the facilities, equipment, utilities and processes, which may affect the quality of the product, should be formally documented and the impact on the validated status or control strategy assessed. Computerised systems used for the manufacture of medicinal products should also be validated according to the requirements of Annex 11. The relevant concepts and guidance presented in ICH Q8, Q9, Q10 and Q11 should also be taken into account.

原则

本附录描述了确认与验证的基本原则，适用于药品生产中的设施 、 设备 、 公用系统及工艺,也可以用于第四卷第二部分《活性物质作起始物料》的附加要求 中没有介绍部分的补充性 、 选择性指南 。 GMP要求生产商应通过确认和验证对 整个生命周期内的产品和工艺涉及的关键操作中的关键因素来进行控制 。 所有 影响产品质量的计划性变更（含设施 、 设备 、 工艺系统和工艺），都应当有正 式文件或记录，并评估其对验证状态或是控制策略的影响 。 用于药品生产的计 算机化系统也应根据附录11的要求进行验证 。 同时，应当考虑现行的ICH

Q8 、 Q9 、 Q10 、 Q11中的相关理念和指南要求 。

General

A quality risk management approach should be applied throughout the lifecycle of a medicinal product. As part of a quality risk management system,

第 2 页共 60 页

decisions on the scope and extent of qualification and validation should be based on a justified and documented risk assessment of the facilities, equipment, utilities and processes. Retrospective validation is no longer considered an acceptable approach. Data supporting qualification and/or validation studies which were obtained from sources outside of the manufacturers own programmes may be used provided that this approach has been justified and that there is adequate assurance that controls were in place throughout the acquisition of such data.

概述

质量风险管理的方法应作为质量风险管理系统的一部分贯穿于药品的整个 生命周期，应基于对设施 、 设备 、 公用系统和工艺的论证和书面风险评估决定 确认和验证的范围和程度 。 回顾性验证不再被认为是可接受的方式 。 如果方法 经过论证，并且获取数据的整个过程中有足够的保证性控制措施，也可以使用 从生产商自身程序以外获得的用于支持确认和/或验证研究的数据 。

1. ORGANISING AND PLANNING FOR QUALIFICATION AND VALIDATION

1. 确认和验证的组织和计划

1.1.All qualification and validation activities should be planned and take the life cycle of facilities, equipment, utilities, process and product into consideration.

1.3.Qualification/validation personnel should report as defined in the

pharmaceutical quality system although this may not necessarily be to a

第 3 页共 60 页

quality management or a quality assurance function. However, there should be appropriate quality oversight over the whole validation life cycle.

1.3.确认或验证人员应按照药品质量体系中指定要求进行报告，尽管并不一定 是报告给质量管理或质量保证部门 。 然而，对于整个验证生命周期来说，应当 有合适的质量监督 。

1.4.The key elements of the site qualification and validation programme

should be clearly defined and documented in a validation master plan (VMP) or equivalent document.

1.4.应当在验证主计划（VMP）或其等同文件中，清晰地界定和记录现场确认 与验证程序的关键性要素 。

1.6.对于大型和复杂的项目，增加计划重点和独立的验证计划将有助于明晰要 做的工作 。

1.7.A quality risk management approach should be used for qualification and validation activities. In light of increased knowledge and understanding from any changes during the project phase or during commercial production, the risk assessments should be repeated, as required. The way in which risk assessments are used to support qualification and validation activities should be clearly documented.

1.7.在确认与验证活动中应使用质量风险管理的方法，随着在项目开展或者商 业化生产的过程中的知识积累及理解加深，应当根据需要对风险进行不断地重 复评估，并清楚地记录确认与验证的风险评估所采用的方法 。

1.8. Appropriate checks should be incorporated into qualification and validation work to ensure the integrity of all data obtained.

1.8.应将适当的检查加入到确认和验证工作中，以保证所获得的数据的完整 性 。

2.6. Where validation protocols and other documentation are supplied by a third party providing validation services, appropriate personnel at the manufacturing site should confirm suitability and compliance with internal procedures before approval. Vendor protocols may be supplemented by additional documentation/test protocols before use.

2.6.如果验证方案和其它文件记录由验证服务第三方提供，应当由企业内部的 合适人员确认其适用性，满足内部规定后方可批准 。 在使用之前，可由附加的 文件或测试对供应商提供的方案进行补充 。

2.7. Any significant changes to the approved protocol during execution, e.g. acceptance criteria, operating parameters etc., should be documented as a deviation and be scientifically justified.

Conditional approval to proceed to the next qualification stage can be given where certain acceptance criteria or deviations have not been fully addressed and there is a documented assessment that there is no significant impact on the next activity.

2.10. 由相关的负责人对确认与验证过程中的阶段性放行，既可以作为验证报 告批准的一部分，也可以是单独的总结文件 。 因某个可接受标准未达到或偏差 未关闭，并通过评估确定对下一阶段活动无显著影响，可以有条件的放行进入 下一阶段 。

The main stages and some suggested criteria (although this depends on individual project circumstances and may be different) which could be included in each stage are indicated below:

第 7 页共 60 页

3.1.设备 、 设施 、 公用工程或系统的确认活动应当贯穿其用户需求说明书的制 定到使用的各个阶段，主要阶段及其要求如下：

User requirements specification (URS)

用户需求说明 （URS）

3.2. The specification for equipment, facilities, utilities or systems should be defined in a URS and/or a functional specification. The essential elements of quality need to be built in at this stage and any GMP risks mitigated to an acceptable level. The URS should be a point of reference throughout the validation life cycle.

3.2.设备 、 设施 、 公用工程或系统的说明应当在URS文件和/或功能说明中定 义，应考虑质量的关键性因素，并把GMP风险降低到可接受水平 。 URS应该是 整个验证生命周期中的参照 。

Design qualification (DQ)

设计确认

3.3. The next element in the qualification of equipment, facilities, utilities, or systems is DQ where the compliance of the design with GMP should be demonstrated and documented. The requirements of the user requirements specification should be verified during the design qualification.

3.3.确认活动的第二阶段就是设计确认，这里应当用文件证明其符合GMP要

求，还应当对用户需求说明中的要求进行确认 。

Factory acceptance testing (FAT) /Site acceptance testing (SAT)

工厂验收测试 （FAT）/ 现场验收测试 （SAT）

3.4. Equipment, especially if incorporating novel or complex technology, may be evaluated, if applicable, at the vendor prior to delivery.

3.4.如果需要的话，设备（尤其是新型或复杂的设备）在供应商发货前应在其产 地被充分的评估 。
